New PoE Bitscope product for PoE and Raspberry Pi 3B+ mentioned in blog post

accipiter

The following blog post mentioned a new BitScpoe product that was described as likely to be available at about the same time as the Raspberry Pi PoE Hat (now available...):

There was very little detail in the post apart from one CAD diagram with Bi3B+ in situ.

 

Is there any more detail?  I was hoping that it could accept a PoE directly without an external splitter and utilise Bitscope board's more robust power management and breakout several more 5V feeds in addition to the Pi3B+'s USB ports which the new Raspi Foundation new PoE board wont do as far as I can see.

    It's coming real soon now. It accepts PoE via the B+ LAN connector (like the PoE HAT). It has the same robust BitScope Blade onboard power regulation (supports 12V-48V), mounts in a similar way to existing Blades, can be used stand-alone or in racks, provides a breakout for a 5V feed for external circuits and supports third party HATs. It actually does quite a bit more than this, but we'll leave the details for the launch (hopefully in a month or so).
