So they're charging $995.00 for something that likely cost them < $50. Now you know their profit margins on radios and other hardware.

    Awesome! Can't wait. We have a bunch of these Medusas going up in

        So this looks like as good of a place as any to provide this
        tidbit:

        I finally found the component I was looking for to complete
        the cambium sync design here, and I now have a breadboarded
solution to sync Medusa (and 450i) via 'cambium sync) here. 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.

            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

                    Are you looking at a prototype or a finished
                    product? Link?

                        No doubt, but for $800, I would expect
                        something a bit more um.. rugged. I can build
                        this for about $100.

                                $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?
