Seriously doubt it. More like $10-15 on a bad day..

    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

        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?
