As shown, the system has application for serving enterprise properties, such as schools, municipalities, hospitals and small business campuses. It is also an excellent system for serving residential single family and multi-family housing units with users experiencing data rates in excess of 6 Mpbs per subscriber. The Canopy Wireless system enables

broadband access deployment with a wireless point of presence that can be connected directly to broadband infrastructure or indirectly via a wireless backhaul link to fiber or microwave network infrastructure. Figures 2 and 3 depict Canopy in its various configurations (point-to-multipoint and a point-to-point configuration).
A wireless access point can contain anywhere from one to six Canopy sector transceiver(s). Each transceiver delivers 10 Mbps connectivity with up to 200 subscribers per sector, ensuring omnidirectional coverage within a two-mile radius. Six transceivers have an aggregate capacity of 60 Mbps. To increase capacity beyond 60 Mbps, additional transceivers can be easily co-located on an access point resulting in up to 12 overlapping sectors for aggregate data rates up to 120 Mbps. Transceivers interface with the network infrastructure routers and the subscriber computers via 10 or 100 baseT auto sensed Ethernet.
Bandwidth efficiency is achieved using a proprietary, exceedingly robust modulation scheme that allows for superior cochannel performance and mitigation of interference from other systems operating in the same frequency bands. Canopy systems are engineered to compensate for the propagation problems associated with common variations in weather such as rain, fog or snow. These problems largely affect the operation of numerous more expensive high
