New installations will be biased toward new APs, so Cambium sync may be
a
critical feature.

Yes. Currently there is only one board type for the slots... You will
be
able to order it with any number of slots filled - the rest will have
blanks
put in place. It is designed so end users can add, remove or swap each
board.
The current board is essentially our current powerinjector+sync in that
form factor - 4 ports, each jumperable for any gigabit-compatible power
scheme, and each jumperable to select one of the three voltage input
sources.
There are two additional board types on the drawing board. The one most
interesting to my existing customers will add support for cambium sync
which
is compatible with the 450i and 450m.

is this mix and match for the 4 slots?

For those eagerly waiting for the RackMount Injector....
The engineering validations I mentioned before have been completed. I
discovered one minor board error, which has been corrected. I also took
advantage of the additional board revision to make another minor circuit
revision which will improve performance. At this point, what we hope
are
the final verification boards are on order. Because of how minor the
revision was to the boards, we have decided to go ahead and release this
to
part purchasing - which basically means we're buying everything we need
to
actually build these. We should be able to validate the final board
revision and have actual production boards here before all of the other
parts arrive. This will also give us a chance to modify the circuit
board
if we discover a parts availability issue during the purchasing process.
We've issued almost all of the purchase orders for parts for the first
production run - we're now waiting for final confirmation of delivery
dates.
I expect these this week, with the caveat that in a couple of cases
we're
dealing with the non-joys of trying to get things done during China's
spring
festival holiday. At least one vendor is shut down completely until the
3rd, and I'm sure there will be a bit of backlog when everyone returns
to
work.
Once I have confirmed orders with estimated ship dates and validated
pricing for almost everything, I'll get the unit up on the website to do
pre-orders with a semi-definite ship date. At this point, I'm guessing
either just before or just after WISPAMERICA. We're hoping for just
before
since I would much rather tell people that the product is shipping than
explain why it isn't. But the reality is that there isn't much time
before
WISPAMERICA so I'm guessing I'll be explaining.
One more teaser image is attached.

If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team
as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
