Well, I can see paying premium for radios.. After all, they work good,
and make us lots of money.. They are well-engineered and tested for the
most part.
The CMM5 controller is a hobby-grade piece of untested off-the-shelf
crap, and does not justify the price tag.

So they're charging $995.00 for something that likely cost them <
$50. Now you know their profit margins on radios and other hardware.

Awesome! Can't wait. We have a bunch of these Medusas going up in the

So this looks like as good of a place as any to provide this tidbit:
I finally found the component I was looking for to complete the
cambium sync design here, and I now have a breadboarded solution to
sync Medusa (and 450i) via 'cambium sync) here. Seems to be
working. I'm in the process of getting the design on a prototype
board for the rackmount injector. This *is* going to be more
expensive than the non-cambium sync version, but for roughly the
price of just that controller, you should be able to get the
rackmount chassis+controller plus either 8 of injection, and a
syncbox GPS receiver. For probably around $1200 or so, you should
be able to get a fully loaded one with 16 ports of sync.
I'm *not* holding this injector for this for reasons I described in
earlier threads, but add a month or two after WISPAMERICA and this
should be shipping.

The only reason we got this is to properly sync our Medusa APs
from the base of the tower, and maintain a clean gigabit
ethernet link.
If Forrest had a product that did the same thing, we would be
all over it. Literally every other piece of GPS sync hardware we
use is from PacketFlux.

You could also buy all the parts to do the same thing with
PacketFlux gear for a whole lot less than $800... I don't think
the actual cost of building the hardware has much to do with
the price of a CMM

You couldn't write the software for it for $100.
Are you looking at a prototype or a finished product? Link?

No doubt, but for $800, I would expect something a bit
more um.. rugged. I can build this for about $100.

$700-900 for a $35 Raspberry Pi controller, a
DC-DC regulator, and a metal box?
Looks like OpenWRT-type Linux distro with LuCI
web interface, and a module to control the CMM5.
Seems a bit steep, no?
