The Motorola Canopy Wireless Subscriber Module (SM) is the subscriber termination unit or the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). It consists of a single module that operates with an integrated 60-degree antenna. Each SM can communicate to a single AP Module at any given time. SM synchronization and control is accomplished via the received AP signal. SMs are typically located outdoor and Line of Sight (LOS) from the APs. Once the SM is initialized, it scans the Radio Frequency (RF) channels and automatically registers with the appropriate AP.
Each Canopy Wireless SM requires a Category 5 cable for its Ethernet connection to the premise IP equipment with DC power supplied to the SM through that same cable. The SM uses a 110 VAC power supply (ACPS110-01 or -02) or the 90V-230V switching power supply (ACPSSW-01) and associated RJ45 connector to power the SM. The Universal Mounting Bracket (SMMB1) is available for mounting the SM to the customer site. One SMMB1 is required for each SM. It is recommended to use a Canopy Ethernet Surge Protector (300SS) mounted at the Ethernet entry point on the outside wall of the premise.

Canopy Wireless Broadband
Motorola’s new wireless broadband offering, the Canopy™ system makes delivering low-cost broadband wireless Internet to consumers and businesses alike faster and easier than ever before. That’s because the Motorola Canopy Broadband Wireless Internet Platform solution is easily deployed and extremely cost-effective, so service providers can focus on delivering high-speed, high-quality service to their customers. Motorola Canopy™ is currently deployed in many countries and is available in various frequencies to suit your regional needs.
The Canopy Wireless System
The Motorola Canopy Wireless system provides cost-effective high-speed Internet access to residential and business customers alike. The Canopy family of products can help service providers deliver broadband service to local customers as well as improve the utilization of their existing network.
The Canopy broadband wireless platform is highly scaleable and exhibits low susceptibility to interference requiring no elaborate frequency planning and coordination. The Canopy hardware draws little power and its packaging is unobtrusive. The equipment uses antennas of only moderate gain resulting in minimal requirements for aiming the units. Hence, installation is easy, in contrast to many of the higher frequency solutions currently available. Finally, the built-in visual feedback installation indicators allow the unit to be installed by virtually anyone. These characteristics facilitate initial deployment and network expansion as capacity needs increase. Figure 2 illustrates how the Canopy system with its simple equipment makes it easy to build your own Internet access network.
Benefits of the Canopy Wireless System
-The Motorola Canopy Wireless Internet Platform delivers a telecommunications link that supports high speed data throughputs while requiring significantly reduced capital investments and lower deployment costs than other broadband technologies. Benefits include:
-Reliability and Availability – The Canopy system is designed around the philosophy of inexpensive hardware with redundancy where needed. This allows the Canopy system to be a very cost-effective yet highly reliable/available solution.
-Quality of Service and Capacity -- Ensuring that bandwidth is available for a range of data services to all subscribers is an essential requirement. The interference rejection characteristics of our system allow Motorola to provide aggregate system capacities that are far greater than the signaling rates alone might indicate.
-Security and Authentication – Privacy and integrity of data are key considerations of broadband subscribers. Security and authentication to prevent unwanted access to critical data or services are necessary for any broadband system. Canopy uses industry proven authentication and encryption technologies to ensure that the service provider maintains control of the network.
-Mitigation of Interference – As wireless broadband services become more widespread and unlicensed spectrum becomes more crowded coexistence or mitigation of signal interference becomes a greater consideration. The underlying modulation scheme used by the Canopy system provides one of the best interference rejection systems available and far surpasses the performance of competing technologies in the unlicensed band.
-Reduced Installation & Deployment Costs and Time - Network service providers have faced significant challenges in reducing wiring and installation costs in deploying complex systems. The Canopy technology easily supports network configuration changes on either a permanent or temporary basis.
-Reduced Customer Support Costs - Service outages and customer calls can rapidly drive-up operating costs. Canopy utilizes effective network management tools and detects system outages to minimize these costs.
