I'm fairly certain the PTP version has sync ability, but I don't remember what sync sources work with it... it seems to me that it only worked with sync over power. I checked into it at one point because we were putting in a PTP450i 900mhz link, but I never actually bothered trying to use sync because it wasn't close enough to any of our 900mhz APs for me to care.
