I am doing that with Exalt G2 radios at 2 sites and it has worked fine. If the site is already +24V, I would just use an RSD to upconvert to +48V and be done with it, that’s what I’m doing. If it was a new DC site I might use the 48V Traco UPS and then downconvert, especially if I had stuff that needed tightly regulated 24V since that would save me a DC-DC converter, but I don’t think it makes enough difference to redesign an existing site.
Tycon also has some products that would do this. I will say the LEDs on an intelligent 802.3at POE are nice for setup and troubleshooting, not sure if any DC input devices have this ability.

May not truly be the best option for you.

Also, since I'm going to need to be converting to 48v, I'm thinking of using a Meanwell AD-155C and an RSD-100C to downconvert to 24v for everything else - is there anything I should be looking at doing differently?
