The basic building blocks are:

Access Point (AP) to distribute service to the surrounding community.

Back haul Unit (BH) provides Internet "feed" from a remote location.

Subscriber Module (SM), the Internet access receiver, installed in or on your customer's site. A site with Canopy AP Units can serve up to 1,200 subscriber modules in all directions.

Canopy is Affordable
Canopy operates in the unlicensed 5GHz U-NII band, so there's no need for spectrum acquisition or site licensing. And, because Canopy is wireless, there's no need to go through existing phone or cable network. Canopy closes the gap between the cost of dial-up and broadband access, making the decision to switch easy for everyone.

Canopy is Easy to Install & Operate
Its simple network design makes it easy to install. And, with Canopy's small cells, there is no need for coordination, so a single-site Canopy system can begin serving a surrounding two-mile community right away. What's more, Canopy AP Units include all the user authorization, network management, and diagnostic capabilities you need to remotely control and monitor your network.

Canopy is Flexible
Canopy can be adopted to server the needs of many customer communities. The Point-to-Multipoint application can deliver service to homes or small businesses - or serve as a dedicated data link for small business applications.

Canopy is Scaleable
Intelligent protocols make deployment and operation of large wireless networks easy and cost effective. Canopy is scalable to accommodate changing needs, wider geographical areas, larger populations and higher traffic volumes. Further, adding additional transceivers increases capacity without interference.

Canopy is Fast
Canopy offers the affordable, high-speed Internet connection your customers have been waiting for. Canopy upload and download speeds are as fast or faster than dial-up, ISDN, DSL, MMDS, cable or satellite access*.

Canopy is Secure
Canopy offers security with over-the-air encryption scrambles data bits and prevents interception.
