The unique thing about the 450m is the SFP port. The concept would be fiber to each radio for data, and this box would be for power+sync. It would include the GPS antenna in the box, etc. Essentially you'd provide bulk power to this box, run a short CAT5 jumper to each radio for power/management, and a strand of fiber down the tower for management of it all. That would get you management into each of the 450m's and power and sync.
For data, you'd put a SFP in each of the 450m's and run that down the tower via fiber. At the bottom, you'd just have a fiber switch and a bulk power source. This box would do double duty with small clusters of 450i. On Feb 2, 2018 10:40 AM, "George Skorup" <[email protected]> wrote: > Could be fine for a tower-top DC+fiber fed injector(+sync)-switch.
