Motorola Launches New Wireless Broadband Portfolio in U.S. and Canada
Motorola (News - Alert) has launched its 5.4 GHz Canopy Point-to- Multipoint (PMP) and Point-to-Point (PTP) wireless broadband solutions in the United States and Canada. The new offering is part of the MOTOwi4 portfolio, and will provide network operators, enterprises, government, and commercial customers with access to additional spectrum, enabling bandwidth-intensive data, voice and video communications.
Motorola points out that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC (News - Alert)) recently opened the 5.4 GHz radio frequency (RF) for commercial use. This has made more spectrum available to meet growing demands for bandwidth. As the 5.4 GHz spectrum offers 255 MHz of bandwidth, double that available in the 5.8 GHz band, it allows for the co-location of multiple radios on one rooftop or location with minimal interference simplifying overall network design.
According to Brian Magnuson, president, Cascade Networks, their network infrastructure currently consists of Canopy Point-to-Multipoint access modules and the Point-to-Point product for backhaul. The introduction of Motorola's 5.4 GHz unlicensed solutions will provide Cascade Networks with additional opportunities to leverage this newly available spectrum.
Magnuson said in a statement that these products bring more opportunities and greater flexibility as more radios can co-locate on existing infrastructure
Both the 5.4 GHz PTP 400 and PTP 600 unlicensed products provide reliable, high-bandwidth and high-speed connectivity to support convergent, multimedia applications such as data transfer, Voice over IP, video surveillance and audio downloads. Additionally, it also provides a powerful backhaul solution for Canopy PMP and mesh networks and PTP links where wired access is not available or is cost-prohibitive.
Motorola explains that the Canopy 5.4 GHz product provides a greenfield opportunity in the U.S. and Canada, for business and residential service providers that require additional bandwidth to support services such as data transfer, video streaming, VoIP and gaming while conserving tower costs.
Complying with power restrictions in the U.S.and Canada both the Canopy 5.4 GHz and the 5.4 GHz PTP 400 & 600 Series Integrated Systems easily integrate with other wireless systems in the 5 GHz spectrum, including the MOTOwi4 portfolio of broadband wireless solutions that includes Fixed Broadband, WiMAX (News - Alert), Mesh, Broadband Over Powerline (BPL) and enterprise WLAN for public and private networks.
