Motorola Canopy Antenna

Canopy Wireless Broadband Platform

The Canopy^® system is the ideal technology for developing, enhancing and extending advanced broadband networks and services - and for making delivery of high-demand technologies like Internet access, voice over IP, video services, and security surveillance both much quicker and much less expensive.

Canopy broadband technology combines field-proven toughness with exceptional performance, security, ease-of-use and cost effectiveness. Available in frequencies from 900 MHz to 5 GHz, with an array of options and accessories, Canopy systems can be designed to make your business case a success.

Motorola Canopy systems are total broadband access solutions designed for extending networks wirelessly to provide broadband services to virtually any customer in virtually any environment. These systems provide wireless Ethernet connections which can be used to transport voice, video and data in channelized or unchannelized formats. Modules are available to support Line of Sight and Non-Line of Sight point-to-point links and point-to-multipoint last mile access solutions. With a broad array of Backhaul, Access Points and Subscriber Modules, these systems can be configured to meet the current and future needs of business and residential network users.

Service providers can enhance their customer base and revenues by extending their network to reach new business and residential subscribers beyond the reach of wireline broadband offerings.

• Complement existing broadband network to reach customers in new territories, whether adjacent to an existing network or a completely new region
• Offer wireless broadband services to existing subscribers currently using dial-up; alternative to other equipment like DSL and cable
• Extend network geography into new, underserved areas
• Rapidly mass-deployed, value-based broadband

Patch Panel

A patch panel or patch bay is a panel, typically rackmounted, that houses cable connections, or a mounted hardware unit containing an assembly of port locations in a communications or other electronic or electrical system. In a network, a patch panel serves as a sort of static switchboard, using cables to interconnect computers within the area of a local area network (LAN) and to the outside for connection to the Internet or other wide area network (WAN). A patch panel uses a sort of jumper cable called a patch cord to create each interconnection.

Information Outlets

In a telephone wiring system in a building, a connection device designed for a fixed location (usually on a wall) in which telephone wiring terminates; the outlet contains a female jack to receive a male plug that is inserted into it. Such outlets are used to connect a telephone, FAX, telephone answering machine, etc., to a telephone line.

Difference between ROUTER and SWITCH

A router is an electronic device in computer networking that forwards data packets to their destinations, based on their addresses (IP,MAC). The work a router does it called routing, which is somewhat like switching, but a router is different from a switch. The latter is simply a device to connect machines to form a LAN.




A switch is a computer networking device that connects network segments.

The term commonly refers to that processes and routes data at the (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or a network bridgedata link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the network layermultilayer switches.

The term network switch does not generally encompass unintelligent or passive network devices such as hubs and repeaters.

Consequently, these two differ in several ways:

• Router understand IP head, and switch deal with MAC address
• Router has its own IP address(es), and switch don’t
• Router has an operating system running inside, and allow administrator to login into the system.
• Router has an operating system running inside, and allow administrator to login into the system.
• You (network administrator) must configure routing table to make it works.
• You (network administrator) must configure routing table to make it works
• Switch is usually ready to use.
• Router has routing software running inside, including route discovery protocol.
• Routing software know how to deal with different IP packet, such as ICMP and other IP option functionality. Switches don’t.
• Multiple routers can be connected together as a network.
• You can’t directly multiple switches together to form a large network.
