The Canopy Advantage platform is built on field-proven Canopy technology. Building on these strengths, the Canopy Advantage platform provides the following enhancements:

Higher Performance
Effectively reduces latency by one-third (from approximately 20 milliseconds to 5 to 7 milliseconds).

Faster Speeds
Essentially doubles throughput of a Canopy subscriber module (SM). It delivers data rates in excess of today's DSL and cable networks of 7 Mbps. With the new Canopy Advantage SM, the throughput doubles yet again to 14 Mbps to a single user.

True Quality of Service
Enables operators to provide differentiated levels of service using Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Maximum Information Rate (MIR).

Comprehensive Multi-Services Platform
An ATM frame structure uses small frame sizes that reduce retransmission times and provide for low latency - a critical component for delivering high quality services such as VoIP and online gaming.

Seamless Integration
The Canopy Advantage platform provides investment by providing compatibility with existing networks and by being upgradeable to meet future performance requirements. The end result is an ROI that's more impressive than alternatives and a level of performance that could only come from the MOTOwi4TM  portfolio.

All subscriber modules currently in the field can easily be upgraded via software download and benefit from the Advantage platform when used with a Canopy Advantage Access Point (AP). Adding Advantage Capabilities through software upgrades  is as simple as 1-2-3.

Customers can take advantage of Motorola's world-class professional services and comprehensive operations, administration, maintenance & performance system, providing the key element management system tools essential to running a well-performing network.
