You're a goddamn genius, Gump.
Does the ePMP 2k support Cambium Sync? I don't remember. -48 would be
cool too, but I'm pretty sure it won't. Damn.
Just ordered a couple RackInjectors for a new site and a spare. I'm not
going to put a SiteMonitor base in there. Just need +24 and +48 right
now. I'll probably use the C input for a dumb brick to monitor utility
power for now.
Anyway, I know you're busy on this stuff, but feel free to tell me to
STFU. I fully expect it. A telemetry card would be nice to have. 2 or 3
switch inputs, 1 or 2 shunt inputs, and a DC voltmeter for utility
monitoring. That's about all I can think of. Maybe a relay with just NC
exposed would be cool too. A PDU card for fiber+DC radios would also be
good.
I'm still very much interested in the 12-port DIN PowerInjector+sync to
retrofit existing sites with smaller enclosures. What would be really
neat is if you can figure out how to do Canopy Sync and Cambium Sync on
the same hardware at the same time. That I would definitely wait for.
OK, I'll shut up now.

So, now you've all speculated a bit, and I've had some sleep (up way
too late working on getting this out the door)....
Yes, George, the 450i and 450m supports both positive and negative
voltages. It has a fully isolated power supply.
Yes, Sean, this is a 450m on a short cable, and no subscribers. I
plan on putting a single SM on this this evening, along with a very
long cable (>100m) to verify no issues. I also have tests of these
in the field with more subs, but this is the first one I get to play
with on the bench (borrowed it from the WISP).
For everyone's information:
The board in question will be fixed-pinout and is designed to provide
Cambium Style sync over power to the 450i and 450m AP's. It will
also power up other devices which are ok with or need an all-4-pair
power arrangement and are ok with the cambium power arangement.
This board will be released for purchase on or shortly after January
1st, and either shipping immediately or shortly thereafter.
Shortly thereafetr will follow a jumper configurable either polarity
injection board. It is still yet to be seen whether or not we'll be
able to do the older style Canopy-stle sync over power with this, I'm
hopefull we will. This board will not do the newer cambium style
sync. The switching should in theory be fast enough to do the Canopy
style sync, but until we spend a lot of time with it on a scope, I
can't be sure.
So, to summarize:
Now: 4 port jumper configurable positive only, Canopy-Style sync.
Jan 1: 4 port Cambium-Style sync, 4 pair Cambium-style pinput,
+-48VDC required.
Later in Jan/Feb: 4 Port Jumper Confurable plus-or-minus voltage board
which *may* have the capability for sync over power for Cambium style
sync.
One note: Currently, even if you feed these -48VDC, you still need at
least one positive power supply for the syncinjector to power things
like the GPS module, and the electronics for the control board. I'm
still working on fixing this issue, I think I might have it figured
out, but I've thought this before. The currently-shipping control
boards will always have this requirement, a future revision in where
we hope to resolve this.

So you're saying the 450m supports negative voltage / positive ground?

its powering a 450m. probably on a short cable with no
subscribers attached sine it's only drawing 43.19watts - just a
guess tho ;-)

-52 volts. Nice. Wait... what is that powering at 820mA?
I imagine the answer to this is no, but will the Cambium Sync
compatible cards/injectors still do traditional Canopy Sync?
Entirely different h/w, right? I hope I'm wrong.

Cambium's been pretty nice since they quit being motorola.
They of course make business choices from time to time
which negatively affects those of us who make cool things
for the cambium products, but such is the life.
And that's a screenshot from a a 450m/medusa. Their MU-MIMO
stuff which just works (the WISP I deal with from time to
time has had great luck with them).
Here's another snip, from my product:
I suspect there will be a few people excited about a couple
of the things on the above screen ;)

last mu-mimo thing cambium showed me was the day their
guy was ripping us off on 320 right before they gave me
a sweet sandwich
are they playing ball with packetflux or giving you the
beehive shaft?
