Motorola’s Canopy range is a world class solution for today's multi service environment.
Delivering wireless networking systems designed for wireless internet service providers that operates in both the point-to-point and point-to-multipoint architectures.
Canopy can be deployed in various network topologies such as star, bus, or ring configurations. The line includes the original products frequencies starting at 900mhz, plastic cases, "real" speeds of 4.4, 7 and 14Mbit/sec, and PtP backhaul solutions which are the latest addition from Motorola Canopy.
A typical Canopy setup can include a cluster of up to 6 co-located standard access points, to achieve 360 degree coverage. Also included would be one or more backhauls or otherwise out-of-band links. Customers of the system receive service through subscriber modules (SMs) aimed towards the AP. The SMs should be mounted on the tall point of a building to get a reliable connection else Fresnel zone obstruction will weaken the signal.
Under ideal operating conditions connections at distances up to 3.5 miles can be achieved using equipment with integrated antennas. Network operators can opt to install reflector dishes or use Canopy models that accept external antennas at one or both ends of the link to increase coverage distance. Most Canopy equipment receives its power using Power over Ethernet.
