Buy 110PTPs, use radios as APs in lower density situations?

It's the AP hardware. With 2.4.2 it can have 10 subs.

Does Force110 PTP have GPS built into it? One end or both ends? I should probably get a kit...

I think all of our APs are sync over power excepting PTP450, which only does timing port sync.

In any case, somehow this problem morphed into a statement that somehow the SyncInjectors had some sort of systemic issue which lots of wisps were experiencing.�� I was not particularly amused by this, particularly since I had no communication from cambium at all in relation to this.... After some back and forth with my internal contact at cambium I was informed that a) that they were tracking some *potential* issue with external sync (usually with a syncinjector) on the ePMP and b) that they hadn't had the time to figure out if it was packetflux-specific or a general issue yet, and that if they determined it was related to my product they'd contact me back.� So far, no call back, and I haven't heard any more similar complaints - and I've had interactions with a lot of people who use this regularly with ePMP with no known issues.� I also haven't seen anything sync-related in the release notes since that time. -forrest � � On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 6:45 AM, Tyson Burris @ Internet Communications Inc < [email protected] > wrote: General question here.� I saw something in the Cambium forum questioning the reliability of Packet flux Sync Injectors. � If you use them, are your GPS syncs stable and is power output reliable on the 450 and ePMP gear? </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
