They need to cover the 35% tax for building it in Mexico.

So they're charging $995.00 for something that likely cost them < $50. Now you know their profit margins on radios and other hardware. Keefe On 2/17/2017 3:28 PM, Vlad Sedov wrote: Awesome! Can't wait. We have a bunch of these Medusas going up in the near future..

Seems to be working. I'm in the process of getting the design on a prototype board for the rackmount injector. This *is* going to be more expensive than the non-cambium sync version, but for roughly the price of just that controller, you should be able to get the rackmount chassis+controller plus either 8 of injection, and a syncbox GPS receiver. For probably around $1200 or so, you should be able to get a fully loaded one with 16 ports of sync. I'm *not* holding this injector for this for reasons I described in earlier threads, but add a month or two after WISPAMERICA and this should be shipping. -forrest On Fri, Feb 17, 2017 at 10:13 AM, Vlad Sedov <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: The only reason we got this is to properly sync our Medusa APs from the base of the tower, and maintain a clean gigabit ethernet link. If Forrest had a product that did the same thing, we would be all over it. Literally every other piece of GPS sync hardware we use is from PacketFlux.

I don't think the actual cost of building the hardware has much to do with the price of a CMM On Fri, Feb 17, 2017 at 10:55 AM, Adam Moffett <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: You couldn't write the software for it for $100.

Are you serious, Cambium? $700-900 for a $35 Raspberry Pi controller, a DC-DC regulator, and a metal box? Looks like OpenWRT-type Linux distro with LuCI web interface, and a module to control the CMM5. Seems a bit steep, no? peace Vlad -- Forrest Christian CEO, PacketFlux Technologies, Inc.
