Point-to-Multipoint System
The Canopy Point-to-Multipoint configuration is available in either the 5.2 GHz or the 5.7 GHz
frequency bands. Either the 5.7 GHz or the 5.2 GHz system provide a Line of Site (LOS) range
of approximately two miles (5.2 GHz) or ten miles (5.7 GHz with reflector) between the AP
Module and SM using their internal Canopy antennas. The 5.7 Point-to-Multipoint
configurations can support a 5.7 SM with the reflector kit (27RD). The reflector kit increases the
transmit and receive gain of the SM by approximately 17 dB, thereby increasing the range
between the AP Module and the SM to approximately 10 miles LOS. The Point-to-Multipoint
system enables the delivery of broadband access to multiple locations from a single AP Module.
The system, as shown in Figure 3, was developed to optimize its performance in high density and
low-density environments in the presence of external interference sources. Therefore, a Canopy
Point-to-Multipoint configuration can be deployed in both rural and metropolitan environments.
A wireless AP Cluster can contain anywhere from one to six AP Modules. Each AP Module can
deliver up to 6+ Mbps of effective data throughput with connectivity to a maximum of 200
subscribers. Six AP Modules in a cluster can deliver 360-degree coverage with approximately
two-mile (5.2GHz) or ten-mile (5.7GHz with a reflector) radius. A single SM is capable of a
maximum effective data rate of 4+ Mbps. (The short and long-term throughput averages of a
SM can be configured within the AP Module to less than the maximum)
