I know it's not WISPAMERICA, but I might not have time to go.
This need might be less common in the wisposphere, but it would be
useful to me to have a relay or pdu module that could switch 100W 48VDC
loads.

I have a preference for a switch that works.
My challenge has always been to find a chipset I trust which is fairly
easy to integrate, is obtainable, and is available in industrial
temperature range. Over the years I've looked at numerous chipsets
and have never found any that I would feel comfortable to provide to my
customers.
The industrial temperature range issue was probably the biggest one
since the vast majority of chipsets are only available in commercial
range and I refuse to ship a product which contains chipset only rated
down to freezing (there's a reason why we've never had any temperature
related failures that we can recall). Of the remaining chipsets, many
of the manufacturers only sell to large-volume consumers. They have no
interest in doing business with an organization which doesn't do a
million units of a product.
Well the never part was true until recently. A trusted vendor of mine
recently released a switch chipset with 5 Gigabit copper ports, 1 GBIC
port, and 1 management port, and which seems to be able to be
integrated well. I need to spend some time with the eval board which
is sitting here, but other things have taken priority.
Over the last couple of months, we've pretty much finished all of the
pending projects, and so I'm working on figuring out which of the
partially started projects around here I need to pick up and run with.
There are some which are minimal work which will likely get done soon
(i.e. producing medusa-compatible cambium sync products in various
other form factors, and finishing a couple of i/o board which are
basically done).
Of the rest, part of what I'm going to be listening to at WISPAMERICA
is what people are needing. I really don't want to build things people
don't want, so I'm going to be listening as to what people are looking
for. I've got lots of ideas, just not sure how many of them are
really of interest.

Forrest,
It would be awesome if you could ever develop products with switches
inside, I know you have a (Cisco?) preference but other's dont.
I would have purchased lots. I hate that I have to use a separate
switch so we moved away from packetflux for new deployments.

I'm assuming you mean includes switch+poe.
I'm in the process of working on something specificaly for the
450i/450m with 5 ports and sync hardware all in one box (+1 SFP
port), mainly designed for tower top mounting. Not far enough along
to say when it will ship, or even if it's ever going to see the light
of day.
Any other solution you look at, you should make sure that whatever
solution you find will support at least 70W per port, and all 4
pairs. Neither the 450i or 450m really care about polarity, unless
you're doing sync, and then only on the 450i since the 450m does the
new cambium sync only.
If you can live with separate poe box, of course the packetflux
powerinjector+sync powers 450m's really well. There will be a
version which does medusa sync out sometime soon, it's a sure thing,
just we don't know timing yet.

Good morning,
Looking for an all in one, but reliable, power source for 4 - 450m
aps per tower.
I have heard netonix a few times but I have also heard about some
issues with these devices and their support not being that great.
