The Canopy 400 Series AP and SM products operate in the 5.4 GHz spectrum. In many parts of the world, this newly available spectrum gives operators 255 MHz of usable frequency band - that’s almost double the amount available in the 5.7 GHz band. The Canopy 400 Series offers a fast, cost-conscious way to enter this exciting and advantageous spectrum.
 
GPS Synchronization. The 400 Series is equipped with powerful GPS synchronization that significantly reduces self-interference, allowing for co-location applications with existing Canopy networks. Co-location capability enables the system to be deployed as a 5.4 GHZ frequency band overlay network.

Deployment Options. The standard Canopy 400 configuration uses an integrated 60-degree antenna. In addition, the Canopy 400 Series is also available as a connectorized solution, allowing operators of overlay, expanded or greenfield networks to choose the antennas they prefer.

Common Canopy Environment. The 400 Series can lower the cost of ownership for existing Canopy network operators because the 400 Series APs and SMs use the same Release 8.x application software. They also use the same power supplies, brackets, surge suppressors, and Cluster Management Module (CMM) as other Canopy components—reducing training, support and inventory costs. For simplified network management, 400 Series products are also compatible with the Prizm Element Management System.

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS). Because the 5.4 GHz frequency band is shared with certain government radar systems, networks operating in the band must have DFS capabilities for resolution of conflicts. Canopy 400 Series APs and SMs meet ETSI DFS Standard for Europe and Brazil, and the FCC Standard for the United States and IC Standard for Canada.
