CANOPY WIRELESS |Alphaserver|Alphaserver|refurbished servers|refurbished Compaq Canopy wireless users attach small subscriber modules to their homes orsmall businesses and connect to centralized access points within two miles. With six sectorized access points installed, a cell can support up to 1,200 users. The system can also work in a point-to-point backhaul configuration at ranges of up to 20 miles. Motorola claimed the system is "at least as fast as MMDS," and much simpler and less expensive to deploy than any competing broadband access method because of its scalable architecture and unlicensed spectrum use. The company seems to be aiming Canopy wireless at the growing number of grassroots initiatives in which frustrated users are trying to get around the incumbent last-mile bottleneck. One tagline from Motorola's marketing is that Canopy wireless "makes becoming an Internet Service Provider faster and less costly than before." Canopy wireless broadband technology combines carrier-grade toughness with exceptional performance, security, ease-of-use and cost effectiveness. Canopy wireless significantly reduces the time to design and deploy new commercial and enterprise broadband networks. It also seamlessly integrates with existing network systems and management tools to make extending and augmenting existing service simpler and less cost-intensive. |
