When I lived in Canopy land, I liked the Sync Injectors for the small
form factor and low power. Great for little bitty installs.
We never lost a port on a CMM4, ever. We did blow up a few sync
injectors during thunderstorms. So if you don't want to worry about it,
get the CMM4.....maybe your vendor will put the popcorn inside for you.

We have been deploying the packetflux stuff as primary sync solution.
Other than the little bugginess with it, I'm very satisfied.
We have a CTM that I think we paid 1700 bucks for, the night we
deployed it, we took a lightning strike and lost a port, so we have an
AP independently powered and synced from a parasitic. To clean it up,
we have to buy a whole new CTM, whereas with packetflux we would
probably have only needed to buy a syncinjector.
We have a couple CMM Micros that have been tooling along for years
without issues, but I think we originally paid like 2 grand for those too.
We have one deployed CMM4 and one on the shelf, handy because theyre
outdoor and have the switch built in, but that massive power supply
makes me want to take a dump on my cat, and I think their pricetag at
the time was like 2400 bucks, same issue with CTM, lose a port replace
the whole thing. Want to move up to a gigabit radio, buy a whole new unit.
Little things like losing the module order, weird ways of firmware
upgrades and 10mb management, and no good way to monitor certain
things in Powercode don't really justify the cost of the other two
solutions. The popcorn is a selling point to, cambium doesn't give you
shit. The outstanding responsiveness to support requests and openness
of the manufacturer with packetflux is a selling point for me too.
Am I missing anything that should be coming into the decision making
process here? The boss would be willing to shell out the cash for the
CTM/CMMs but that eats a boatload of budget. And it does require a
certain attention to detail to manage the packetflux gear, so if I
were to exit, would it be as simple as a fully managed solution for my
replacement.
Anybody here turn away from the packetflux solution for either of the
other two?
