POE Injector

Okay, looking at the market, DLI has come as close as anyone to what would work as the real deal all in one POE injector.

I would think it would have to be a 2 or 3U device to squeeze all of the stuff into, but I would like something that goes like this:
32 ports, setup like a DLI, split into two sets. Top being powered and bottom being unpowered. Have surge protection built into it as many ways as possible.
Have it to be tri-powered: 110, solar and wind. Basically integrate a Morningstar Tristar 45amp charge controller for batt charging, with some other 110 based charger like a little cheap meanwell for on grid charging applications.
Also, have selectable voltage out so that you could power everything from a AF24 to a passive +24v regular POE radio.
Have a processor that can drop power relays(like ham guys do) at the early warning signs of static discharge to create a spark gap, and have a watchgaurd to do the same if the radio is not responding to a ping.
Extended temp range ofcourse, but since its a 2 or 3U thing, don't use small high speed fans that are noisy, use nice big slow fans that will last a long time.

Lastly, don't make it a switch, let us use what we want to use for that. I prefer a rb2011, if there are more than 5 PTMP antennas, then I use 2 with a MM fiber jumper between them.

Well our switches will soon come in DC versions so that part is covered as you can also use it as a mid span if you want instead of a switch but not sire how many people would do that other then like in our sample deployment in the spec sheet PDF. And our switch does allow 24V/48V and 48VH for airFIBER radios.

We are working on a rack mount inverter charger with web monitoring and alerts.
We are considering a version that is instead of AC power is the charging controller for a wind and or solar site.

We also "might" buy and resell solar panels I would guess? Not sure?
