Backhaul Solutions for the Most Challenging Locations and Applications
Key Selling Points:
• Remove System Bottlenecks in the Network with Increased Throughput
• Canopy 30 Mbps Backhaul (Software Upgradeable to 60 Mbps BH)
o Up to 21 Mpbs - aggregate usable throughput (30 Mbps - Signaling rate)
• Canopy 60 Mbps Backhaul
o Up to 43 Mbps - aggregate usable throughput (60 Mbps - Signaling rate)
• Canopy 150 Mbps Backhaul (software Upgradeable to 300 Mbps BH)
o Up to 150 Mbps - aggregate usable throughput
• Canopy 300 Mbps Backhaul
o Up to 300 Mbps - aggregate usable throughput
• Establish Robust Links to Challenging Locations
• Single hop long range LoS links – up to 124 miles (200Km)
• Previously nearly impossible or marginal links can now be established in:
o nLoS – up to 25 miles (40km)
o NLoS – up to 6 miles (10km)
• Disaster recovery connectivity in a matter of hours
• Reduce Capital and Deployment Costs to:
• Locations previously inaccessible due to nLoS and NLoS conditions
o Reach around buildings, trees, hills and over water
o Establish long-range LoS links with a single hop
• Meet the growing bandwidth requirements of voice, video and data
• Expand video surveillance applications beyond the constraints of existing wired infrastructure
• Replace a wired connection with a higher capacity wireless connection that is less expensive
• Eliminate Monthly Recurring Costs Associated with Leased T1/E1 Voice Circuits by:
• Build-in T1/E1 port
o
Single port on Canopy 150 Mbps Backhaul
o
Dual ports on Canopy 300 Mbps Backhaul
•
Pairing the 30/60/150/300 Mbps Backhaul with a T1/E1 Multiplexer
• Reduce Overall Operating Costs
• Operators can remotely manage, monitor and optimize link performance via comprehensive web
based management
• Small form factor reduces the costs of leasing tower space
• More links can be co-located without creating excess interference
o Narrow 8
0
antenna beam width – dual polarized antennae
o Narrow 12MHz Channel (30/60) and 30MHz Channel (150/300)
• Provide Secure Communications
• Canopy OFDM BH Solutions utilize a complex proprietary signal with scrambling applied
• Deliver High Availability in Noisy and Constantly Changing RF Environments via:
A combination of several interference mitigation techniques:
• Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) automatically changes channels to avoid interference and
combat link fading without user intervention
• Adaptive Modulation ensure maximum throughput optimized for the radio path even as path
characteristics change
• Transmit Diversity which transmits two redundant signals spaced in time to bring multi-path
signals into phase resulting in better performance and link availability.
• Offer Network Design Flexibility
• Choose from four platforms, 30/60 or 150/300 Mbps Canopy BH links, available in two versions -
integrated or connectorized
