Actually good timing on this question....

Yes, there are plans.   Let me explain:

In the rackinjector, both the cambium sync and the polarity agnostic cards
will pass through -48VDC just fine, and the 450i/450m's are fine with
-48V.  This would permit you to skip having a big DC-DC converter to power
these radios from a -48VDC source.   However, the existing (shipping in the
past) control electronics in the rackinjector needs positive power, so you
need to put at least a small DC-DC converter in place to power the control
electronics from a positive source.     Our intent has always been to
resolve this shortcoming at some point when we figure out a reasonable
solution.

When we looked at rolling back the cambium sync technology into the din
rail form factor, we decided that we really wanted to build an injector
which didn't rely on positive power - so it could be powered from either
positive or negative 48 with no requirement of a positive source.  So we
went to work figuring out how to do this.  Which we have now done.

As of now, the rackinjector has a new version of the control board which
doesn't require a positive power source.  For 450i/450m radios, feed it
positive or negative, it's fine, and will power on.  This applies to any
control boards which have not yet shipped (we've got about a 1-2 week out
of stock situation right now while we wait for the first batch of the new
ones, all of the 'requires positive power' boards have been shipped).

Now that is (almost) shipping, I'll be rolling the cambium sync technology
back into the rackmount form factor, along with the technology which allows
powering from either negative or positive power.   This shouldn't be that
long - probably 30-60 days, but definitely before the fall wispa show.
