A Canopy SM can communicate with
either a Cyclone AP or an Advantage
AP. A Cyclone OFDM SM can
communicate with only a Cyclone
OFDM AP.
An SM mounted directly to a structure
is pictured in
Figure 4.
An OFDM SM is shown in
Figure 5 in
both front and side views.

5.1.5 AdvantageSubscriberModule
The Cyclone Advantage SM provides the same configurability and services as the
Canopy SM. However, in a link with an Advantage AP, the Advantage SM provides
uncapped sustained 2X throughput. See
2X Operation on Page 90. An Advantage SM
can only communicate with an Advantage AP.
5.1.6 CycloneLiteSubscriberModule
Cyclone Lite SMs cost less and provide less throughput than regular Canopy SMs. They
support the same radio frequencies, interference tolerance, and product reliability. They
give operators the additional option to serve cost-sensitive customers who want standard
services (web browsing, email, VoIP, and downloads), but do not require the higher
throughput that is available with a regular Canopy SM. Cyclone Lite SMs support an
aggregate(uplink plus downlink) throughput of 512 kbps. Through purchased floating
licenses that Prizm manages, they are upgradeable to 1, 2, 4, or 7 Mbps aggregate
throughput. A Cyclone Lite SM can communicate with only a Cyclone Advantage AP.
A comparison of the Cyclone Lite SM to the Canopy SM and Advantage SM is provided
in
Table 25 on Page 100.
