Canopy
System Access Point to Backhaul Link Spans 35 Miles in East Bay Municipal
Utility District Deployment
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March. 11,
2003 – The Motorola Canopy™ broadband wireless portfolio now offers
a 20 megabit per second (Mbps) backhaul radio that is optimally designed to
offer “last mile” high-speed data connectivity in enterprise
deployments.
The 20 Mbps backhaul is
designed with the same form factor as the 10 Mbps Canopy solution and provides
greater than 13 Mbps throughput. Both also allow for cost-effective and quick
deployment.
“We have deployed a 20
megabit Canopy system for the East Bay Municipal Utility District in northern
California. A 5.7 GHz, 20 Mbps
backhaul link from Valley Springs to Stockton, Calif., was installed. The distance covered measures 34.65
miles. Motorola’s Canopy
solution is really phenomenal technology,” said Dewayne Hendricks,
president and chief executive officer of the Dandin Group.
“The Canopy 20 Mbps
radio is designed to be a flexible solution in enterprise deployments, such as
connecting government buildings, business campuses and university dormitories
and offices with very high-speed Internet connectivity. The Motorola Canopy technology is a
cost-effective way for enterprises to deliver Internet Protocol connectivity
where they need it,” said Tony Kobrinetz, Motorola vice president and
Canopy general manager.
Motorola’s Canopy
system is based on wireless broadband technology that provides for high-speed
Internet access utilizing the unlicensed UNII bands (5.25-5.35GHz or
5.725-5.825GHz). The Canopy system was designed to provide cost-effective
“last mile” high-speed data access for customers previously
underserved or who live in locations where infrastructure and return on
investment previously has been unattainable.
