Is there a way of getting a cheaper switch than the CMM3/4/5 to power up multiple ePMP APs which are at one hub site. it should have a 48V imput as most of my hubs are to be located at Telecomms Towers with 48-56V power.
Are you familiar with the gear from PacketFlux? You can get a SiteMonitor ($100), a SyncBox GPS ($100), and as many 4-port Sync Injectors ($170) as needed, then feed them into a basic switch or router. (we usually use Mikrotik 24-port CRS on more heavily-loaded towers, plus a CCR1009 router, plus the mentioned gear. Price ends up similar to a CMM3, but scalable, and much less expensive than CMM4 (and CMM5). And supports Gigabit and 48v. (you'd need to work that out for the switch/router in this scenario, but the PacketFlux gear will run on just about anything from 15VDC to 56VDC)

Thanks.
I think scalling up is a better aproach as a number os sites only have 3 or 4 devices and getting a CMM is a bit too much for them. i will try this solution.
