This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but we have had pretty good luck with the Linktechs Powerlink product. It can be a little temperamental at times, but for the most part does a good job of providing both USB power and an AP, and POE for Cambium. It is our primary method of doing signal checks and installs. If we had any suggestions on it, we’d want it to be in a little tougher case. It works well enough that we just ordered a second one for the other install team. Jay sent the link for it.

It's been awhile since I tried to make it work, but from what I can remember, it's going to be pretty tough to get a Canopy SM to run off USB, because it's going to be tough to find a USB power source that will put out over 2amps (which is only 10 watts), and if I'm remembering right, a Canopy SM needs 12 watts.... but I would've been using a 900mhz SM, and the others may very well be different. All I can remember for sure was that I couldn't make it work reliably.
