Re: [WISPA] Motorola Canopy 2.4

I use canopy gear at 5.7 and problems are very minimal. Most of the 
time (99%) it's a set and forget system. Most of our customers on 
canopy we never hear from again, it's that stable.


We are just deploying 2.4 canopy gear so can't really speak to how well 
they deal with that band. The vast majority of our trouble tickets come 
from our 2.4 gear (smartbridges). We are looking at replacing our 2.4 
APs with Mikrotiks, mostly for the bandwidth control and routing 
capabilities.


As far as speeds go, I can pull about 3 meg at my house. That link is 
behind a 22 mile Canopy BH that has about 150 other users, then to 
another 3 mile Canopy BH that has another 450 users (600+ total end 
users). We probably could use faster BH radios, but then the fastest 
speeds we offer is 2.8Mb.


Very stable gear, has had some issues but nothing major.

If fact, I just designed a 900+ user wireless system for a huge corp. 
and I'm in the process of designing another one for them of the same 
size. I wish I could say who it is but am under a NDA.

I am sure the gear works well. I am equally sure other systems work well 
and Motorola has made waves with the FCC that have been anti-unlicensed 
and in my opinion negative to the WISP industry. This is my personal 
belief and does not necessarily represent the views of WISPA. I do not 
use a single Motorola product in my network because of Motorola's 
comments to the FCC regarding WISP related NPRMs.
