Can we get Canopy POE support on the WISP and Tower SW series? its 24 vdc reverse pins , That would expand your market share to Canopy and EPMP users

The last Canopy radios I used only support 10/100, if that's still the the case simply change the wiring on one end of your cables or make an adapter that does this.

I was wondering about ePMP radio's on the WS myself the other day but had not looked up the pin out. I guess there would be no way in software to just say "reverse polarity"?

LOL - nope, but we are discussing this
So far I have always been PRO Ubiquiti even though it has been a 1 way relationship as of late

If it can be fixed by using an adapter cable at the switch or the radio (so it can be labeled as such) I think that would be good enough.

Yea we can made a little adapter, not the prettiest solution.
You guys might be surprised at what is being discussed right now!

Would be great to see the option to power the Canopy gear with an adapter etc.
We are phasing out Cambium gear for the most part, but would be cool to get rid of more POEs at the towers and still have option to reboot these radios remotely.

We can look into an adapter, can you post the pin out, and power requirements here?

My thought was to make the polarity swap in a surge protector. That way you could just swap the guts if you need to change the polarity and the cables stay the same.
