MemoryLink’s Coverage Extender™ RA5000C provides a simple, cost effective expansion of your Canopy® network to service potential end-customers outside of your current wireless coverage range. These potential customers may simply be located beyond the line-of-site (LOS) of the Access Point (AP) or AP cluster, or within range, but in a coverage dead-zone, blocked by manmade or natural obstructions. In such cases, the RA5000C can be deployed, as shown below, with a connected Canopy Subscriber Module (SM) at an intermediate location within range of both the endcustomer, and the AP or AP cluster. By connecting one or more additional AP’s to the RA5000C at a non-interfering frequency, your coverage area can be expanded, and bandwidth essentially extended, to capture new customer revenue opportunities. |
Designed to be mounted outdoors within close proximity to the connected SM, The RA5000C comes with its own power supply and eliminates the need for individual power supplies for each connected Canopy device. This allows for a quick, “clean” deployment in a variety of situations.
