Motorola Canopy Solutions Focus:
Motorola Canopy Solutions for WISPs
In today’s crowded broadband communications marketplace, no system can match the Motorola Canopy platform’s combination of advanced technology, simplified configuration, rapid deployment and remarkable cost effectiveness. The system enables ISPs to differentiate themselves, create competitive advantage and attract and please increasingly demanding residential and business customers, even in hard-to-reach areas.
The Canopy system’s intelligent protocols streamline deployment and operation. A simple network design allows the system to complement your existing network, and makes it exceptionally easy to install. There is no need to run overhead or in-ground wire, install microwave or software. The equipment is intuitive and efficient, providing built-in installation and deployment assistance that makes it faster to get up and running… often in a matter of hours or days instead of weeks or months.
The Canopy system offers configuration options that meet and exceed both provider and customer expectations. The platform can be configured as a single-site point-to-multipoint system that supports subscribers for distances up to 15 miles (24 kilometers). Configuring it as a point-to-point system increases delivery range up to 80 miles (129 kilometers). In addition, the system includes interfaces that enable it to easily integrate with standard network management tools and billing systems, as well as diagnostic capabilities you’ll need to remotely monitor the network.
The Canopy solution delivers superior performance using a modulation scheme that improves the quality of data delivery and mitigates interference from other systems. The system’s wireless signals are highly effective in penetrating obstacles and avoiding obstructions, making it as efficient in dense urban environments as it is in suburban areas or rural locations. The platform provides last mile access in a variety of spectrum choices, ensuring exceptional broadband performance no matter which spectrum is best for your network.
The platform also offers security with over-the-air DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption and is also available with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) capabilities, which provide 128-bit encryption, to ensure secure data delivery and exceptional reliability. With AES, it would take approximately 149 trillion years—that’s older than the earth itself—to crack a code.
The Canopy platform’s upload and download speeds are as fast as or faster than virtually every other service available today. The point-to-multipoint Canopy system offers up to 6 Mbps (aggregate data rates) and the point-point system delivers 33 Mbps (aggregate data rates) to your users now. Of course, upload and download speeds are affected by several factors so actual speeds may vary, but the potential to offer an incredible broadband experience is inherent in the Canopy system.
Motorola Canopy Solutions For Carriers
Motorola’s Canopy wireless broadband system is designed to help carriers and cable operators add capacity, increase revenues and grow their businesses faster and more cost-effectively than with wireline… while maintaining wireline-quality performance and security.
In more than 75 countries around the globe, network operators are using the Canopy system in a number of innovative ways.
- Many operators use Canopy technology to extend DSL and cable service to serve more customers without having to incur the high installation costs of traditional copper wire or cable.
- As customer demand increases, a great many operators use Canopy technology to add high-performance capacity quickly and inexpensively.
- Startup operators often use the platform as an interim system, allowing them to begin providing service to customers while their wired networks are being constructed.
- In many countries, operators use the Canopy system’s powerful wireless technology to reach customers over difficult terrain and long distances, where extending existing wired or cable networks is cost prohibitive.
- A number of operators use the Canopy system to test market feasibility and measure profit potential before investing in extending a wireline or cable network.
The Canopy solution’s simple network design allows the system to complement existing networks, and makes it exceptionally easy to install. There is no need to run overhead or in-ground wire, install microwave or software. The system also offers a wide range of flexible, practical configuration options. The platform can be configured as a single-site point-to-multipoint system that supports subscribers for distances up to 15 miles (24 kilometers). Configuring it as a point-to-point system increases delivery range up to 80 miles (129 kilometers).
The Canopy platform’s upload and download speeds are as fast as or faster than virtually every other service available today. But today’s broadband marketplace is no longer simply about speed; that’s just the price of admission. Today, both business and residential customers are also demanding high quality, reliability, scalability and enhanced security.
Canopy technology delivers superior performance and reliability using a modulation scheme thatimproves the quality of data delivery and mitigates interference from other systems. When capacity needs increase, the Canopy solution is scalable to accommodate changing requirements, wider geographic areas, larger user populations and higher traffic volumes.
The Canopy platform also offers enhanced security with over-the-air DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption. Importantly, it is also available with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) capabilities, which provide 128-bit encryption, to ensure secure data delivery and exceptional reliability. That’s significant, because many customers—such as financial institutions, healthcare networks and municipalities—virtually always specify AES.
Motorola Canopy Solutions for Enterprise
The business benefits of broadband communications and Internet access are easy to see. Broadband can unite corporate and institutional campuses and locations. Promote communication, information sharing and collaboration. Tighten security and increase safety. Improve employee and customer relations. And a lot more.
The challenges of setting up an effective broadband system, however, have always been significant: cost, complexity and time. From purchasing spectrum licenses to designing, installing and maintaining complicated and cumbersome networks, the process has been expensive, time-consuming and daunting.
The Canopy™ system, Motorola’s innovative wireless broadband solution, has changed all that.
The Canopy platform brings powerful radio technology to enterprise communications applications, making deploying and delivering low-cost broadband access faster and easier than ever before. It provides the performance, versatility, ease-of-use and affordability that enable enterprise environments—including corporate, municipal, healthcare, education and more—to improve communication, productivity, security and return on investment (ROI).
The Canopy wireless broadband system offers products in the 900 MHz, 2.4, 5.2 and 5.7 GHz frequency bands. Start-up costs are more affordable than virtually any other connectivity option, yet Canopy technology delivers speed and performance second to none. In addition, the Canopy platform reduces monthly recurring cable or T1 costs because there is no need to go through phone or cable networks.
With the Canopy solution, there is no need to run overhead or in-ground wire, install microwave or software. The equipment is streamlined, with built-in installation and deployment assistance, making it faster and easier to get up and running. The Canopy platform also includes interfaces that enable it to easily integrate with standard network management tools and systems.
The platform delivers superior performance using a modulation scheme that improves the quality of data delivery and mitigates interference from other systems. It enhances security with over-the-air DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption and is also available with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) capabilities.
Canopy technology can be adapted to fulfill a wide range of enterprise needs. The point-to-multipoint application can serve numerous enterprise locations of virtually any size. The backhaul application can serve as a dedicated data link for the enterprise community. A single-site point-to-multipoint Canopy system can be used for distances up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) while the point-to-point system delivers up to 80 miles (129 kilometers). When your capacity needs increase, the Canopy solution is scalable to accommodate changing requirements, wider geographic areas, larger user populations and higher traffic volumes.
