With Canopy™ you can go
from being an Internet User to an Internet Provider - in
a Flash
No License Needed
Canopy works in the unlicensed U-NII spectrum so there is no
need for spectrum licensing.
No Complex Equipment
Canopy equipment is streamlined and easy to install.
No Major Investment
The start-up cost of the Canopy platform is more affordable than any other
wireless Internet connectivity option.
No Complex Infrastructure
Your Canopy system can be up and running in a day! No need to run overhead
or in-ground cable and there is no microwave or software to install.
A Canopy™ System is based
on a wireless broadband technology that provides for high-speed
Internet access and was designed to provide cost-effective, "last-mile" high
speed data access for customers who previously were underserved
or lived in locations where infrastructure is non-existent.
The Canopy system uses Point-to-Point and Poiint-to- Multipoint
networks than can distances ranging from two to 10 miles
in a Multi-Point configuration, to as many as 35 miles
in a point-to-Point configuration.* The basic building
blocks of a Canopy system are:
Access Point (AP) easily
interfaces with your existing Local Area
Network (LAN)
Backhaul Unit (BH) provides
Internet “feed” from a remote location.
Subscriber Module (SM) the
Internet access receiver, is small and easy to install
- there’s no obtrusive equipment.
The Access Point and Subscriber
Modules are compact and designed to be mounted outdoors,
so there is no need to run overhead and in-ground wire
or microwave. And, there’s no additional software
for you to install, further limiting exposure to error.
The Canopy solution also delivers
outstanding performance using a modulation scheme that
improves the quality of data delivery and mitgates interference
from other systems. Motorola’s Canopy platform offers
security with over-the-air encryption that scambles data
bits and helps prevent interception, so data delivery with
the Canopy solution is very relaible.
Point-to Point configuration** up to
10-35 miles at 6-14 Mbps
Point-to-Multipoint configuration**
up to 2-10 miles at 4 Mbps
Canopy™ is faster than
any other ISP option and delivers more reliable service.
DIAL-UP: Is
much slower ISDN & DSL: have slower speeds and
higher user costs for service CABLE: is much more expensive to deploy MMDS: is much more expensive and difficult
to deploy SATELITTE: has slower speeds and higher user
costs
