replies: text: I know your comment is about 4 years and some months old, but I thought I would just say, the company I work for uses 5.7 GHz Canopy point-to-multipoint wherever possible due to its longer range and better throughput than other frequencies, specifically when using ODFM rather than FSK.Cr@$h3d@t@t@1k t0 m3 19:09, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Early questions

message: The first bullet point under Comparison with other wireless networking systems includes a whimsical line referencing gremlins which I am unsure is appropriate. Suggesting a rewording if it would indeed be appropriate but unwilling to do so myself with concern of omitting a possibly (if somewhat unlikely) pertinent technical term. 
Comparison with other wireless networking systems[edit]
These products are fixed wireless technology. Canopy protocol products have many advantages over Wi-Fi and other wireless local area network protocols:
Transmission timing is explicitly controlled, so that all access points (AP) on all towers can be synchronized by gremlins to prevent interference. APs of the same band can be placed right next to each other, and back-to-back units can use exactly the same frequency.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Motorola Canopy. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20071028001836/http://motorola.canopywireless.com:80/support/library/ to http://motorola.canopywireless.com/support/library/
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

message: The article states that among the disadvantages is wireless round trip time when compared to wired technologies, but in testing on older canopy gear, ping (round trip times) were as low as 30ms (comparable to most Cable Internet implementations of the time, and even exceeding some poorly setup or maintained DOCSIS Cable systems). Newer Cambium Medusa gear improves this even further. I have no source for this (yet... I am searching), but in my own testing, I have seen the new medusa gear achieve ping times as low as 7ms, which is comparable to many Fiber systems. Yes, Medusa uses multiple frequencies, and wide band channels (80Mhz wide) to improve speeds, and reduce ping, but it is misleading to cite this as a disadvantage when the difference is so nominal that it is not perceivable in real-world use. In addition, as long as there are no obstructions or trees, some WISPS have achieved the same, or even higher reliability levels vs their local wired provider. 
While I think it right to list legitimate disadvantages, due to these things, which should be verifiable using third party sources, it is misleading to list some of what is in the article as disadvantages, and seems like something a wired provider would list as a tactic to discourage people from using a WISP. Yes, Wireless systems CAN go down, or experience increased air-delay during *SOME* storms. However, even this is rare with more modern gear from Cambium and others, and when it does happen, it tends to be storms that also cause issues with some wired providers (which, contrary to popular belief are NOT immune to decreased speeds and reliability with severe storms).

replies: text: Also, even fiber has round-trip delay... the speed of light. It is in ALL network systems. Yes, Wireless tech is more susceptible to increased delay due to interference if not setup properly, BUT THIS IS NOT DUE TO RADIO SIGNALS TRAVELING SLOWER THAN FIBER SIGNALS.... Radio waves, including those put out by Cambium Canopy, Ubiquity's competing platforms, and even your local radio station travel AT THE SAME SPEED AS A FIBER SIGNAL... the speed of light, when in a vacuum. Yes yes, but the atmosphere isn't a vacuum, and it will experience delay in atmosphere... True, but that reduction in speed is so small that even latency and delay sensitive applications wont show any perceivable difference with the relatively short distances of these wireless systems (around 5 KM is the maximum distance recommended by the manufacturers, but some ISPs push it to up to 11 or 12 KM using special gear, but even then it is a nominal difference). Increased round-trip times are not usually due to it just being wireless, but due to interference, which is becoming less of an issue with modern systems that use GPS sync, multiple frequencies on the same subscriber link, and beam forming.

thread_title:  Name change Cambium Networks 

message: Originally, Canopy was part of Broadband over Power line (BPL) which use power lines for backhaul to the system and internet. I came wondering if/how it has evolved and see nothing about the backhaul except a reference to Ethernet. Can someone add something?  I worked for Motorola back then, but didn't have and now have nothing to do with any related business.   -- Steve --  (talk) 17:20, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
