Competitive technology is already available, so what makes the Canopy solution faster and more affordable than other technologies?
The Canopy system was designed from the ground up, to provide the “last mile” of high-speed data connectivity for residential and small/medium business. It is ideally suited for ISPs, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, and any service provider who desires to provide high-speed data service to underserved or new market locations where existing infrastructure is not available. The Canopy system has an impressive C/I (Carrier to Interference) ratio on the order of 2-3 db, significantly better than that of other wireless products available today. Having a low C/I ratio equates to reduced numbers of trouble tickets, fewer calls for support, and reduced truck rolls. back to top Q: Other wireless technologies such as cell phones sometimes experience inconsistent service e.g., dropped calls. How reliable is the Canopy technology? What kinds of tests/trials has Motorola conducted to ensure reliability? A: As opposed to the wireless technologies that support the mobility of a cell phone, the C
Existing older wired technologies attempted to tie into available wired networks, such as the telephone network. Neither the telephone nor cable networks were designed for two-way high-speed Internet service, and both represent compromises designed to permit existing telephone or cable services to be extended (by the current operators). MMDS is an attempt at a wireless version of the wired cable network a compromise that most service providers have determined is not economical.
