Obviously sync is not supported in firmware yet anyway, but I’m really hoping the answer is “eventually”.
We’ve always had reliability problems with the GPS pucks on ePMP radios. Sync over power has solved those problems for us.
Unfortunately, it does not have hardware support for sync over ethernet. That being said, Cambium has made some improvements to its onboard GPS sync.
I would rather have sync over power than onboard sync any day! Regardless of the GPS improvements, relying on the onboard GPS has been a very big problem almost as big as not having sync at all. At least with a PF solution I have options, could even be convinced to toss in a CMM or cnMatrix if I had to, but not if the option isnt there.
Maybe a different SKU and see which one the community buys the most of, assuming the SKU difference is obvious like -GPS for onboard GPS???

Not trying to be snarky - but I was thinking the same thing. If Cambium doesn’t think there has been an issue… then what did they improve? Or how could those improvement be expected to address the reported issues, if they don’t agree that there are issues?
For what it’s worth, we’ve actually had very little GPS issues, including 3000 and 3000L with the pucks they shipped with (whatever flavor those are?) but for my 2c, the integrated GPS has been pretty good. Obviously others have different experience, but just saying it’s not horribly broken for everybody, everywhere, all at once.

I guess I overstated the GPS improvements as being “considerable”… but they do have a new improved GPS puck that adds filtering… aside from that, the GPS chip is the same in the e4k and e3k… so no real improvements or changes there.
