Canopy APs and a BHS can be collocated at the same site only if they operate in
different frequency band ranges.
12.6 DIAGRAMMING NETWORK LAYOUTS
12.6.1 Accounting for Link Ranges and Service Coverage
A 2.4-, 5,4-, or 5.7-GHz SM can be used with a Canopy Passive Reflector dish. This
reflector extends the maximum span of a link as indicated in
Table 28.

NOTES:
1. DES indicates that the module is preconfigured for Data Encryption
Standard security. See Encrypting Canopy Radio Transmissions on
Page 296.
2. AES indicates that the module is preconfigured for Advanced
Encryption Standard security.
3. Terrain and other line of sight circumstances affect the distance that
can be achieved. Additionally, local or national radio regulations may
govern whether and how the Passive Reflector can be deployed.
