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.

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.

You could also buy all the parts to do the same thing
with PacketFlux gear for a whole lot less than $800...
I don't think the actual cost of building the hardware
has much to do with the price of a CMM

You couldn't write the software for it for $100.
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?
