For the record, all PoE is 44v or greater - the radio will absolutely work on 48v IF THE 48V IS BEING SUPPLIED BY A POE INJECTOR INTO A POE-COMPATIBLE ETHERNET PORT. This is in no way suggests that putting 48v into the standard power connector will result in anything but a crisped radio, but plugging a PoE injector into the radio will work just peachy. It is, however, specifically outlawed in the rules - since there isn't a 48v source on the robot, you need an active power converter, so even if you take a DC/DC converter and strip the Ethernet cable to give 48v to the radio, all you will have done is created your very own custom injector, which is illegal.
