1. The document discusses 5 options for network synchronization in a Cambium wireless network: Universal GPS, CMM4 rack mount, CMMmicro, CMM4 without switch, and CMM4 with switch. 2. The CMMmicro provides GPS synchronization to access points and modules to reduce installation time and costs by requiring only one cable between modules. 3. Network operators can choose the CMM solution best suited to their environment from the 5 options presented.
