The whole UBNT supporting reverse POE thing brings up an interesting idea.
The Ufiber Nano G is 24V gigabit.  Makes me wonder if it could be powered
with a Cambium R201P.  Would make for an interesting deployment/support
scenario. The install would be pretty clean and there would be a TR69
customer router.  Way cheaper then Calix and if we decided it was crap
later and wanted to swap in something else, we could reused the routers for
our Cambiium 450 customers.
