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?
