How Canopy Works

Access Point (AP)
The basic service provider piece for distribution of service to the surrounding community is the Canopy Access Point (AP) Unit. They are the brains of your Internet access network and are to be mounted in a convenient location that faces your Internet users to provide direct clear radio signals to them.

Subscriber Module (SM)
The Canopy Subscriber Module is the Internet access receiver for your Internet customers or users. The Canopy Access Point (AP) units talk to Subscriber Modules (SM) using a Point-to-MultiPoint protocol.

Backhaul Unit (BH)
When you need to provide Internet “feed” from a remote location, the Canopy Backhaul Unit gives yo the flexibility to do so. A Point-to-Point link from a remote access point to the ideal AP site.

*Note: backhaul unit is limited by distance and presence of physical obstructions.
