Canopy Equipment Proves Reliable in Overcrowded Wireless Space
DHAKA, Bangladesh, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pervez Sajjad spent three years attempting to deploy wireless broadband service in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city of about 4 million people where no standard Digital Service Line (DSL) service exists. Non line-of-sight wireless infrastructure proved to be too costly for Sajjad, managing director of Ektoo, Ltd., so he turned to Motorola's Canopy solution and quickly became an Authorized Canopy Solution Provider (ACSP) in Bangladesh.

"Motorola provided us key differentiating factors that made my job of deciding on the Canopy products an easy one," said Sajjad. "It required a very low initial investment as well as low expansion costs; it is high performance and has high bandwidth, which allows for a low per megabit cost; it has outstanding range; it is interference resistant and it has name brand recognition in Motorola."
Ektoo installed six 5.7GHz Canopy access points strategically centered in Dhaka, giving him coverage throughout the city limits and in some neighboring towns.
"We offer high available premium bandwidth catering to businesses, cyber cafes and corporate and service provider customers," said Sajjad. "These customers appreciate the high availability of our service delivered via Canopy because the smallest downtime directly impacts their revenue stream. We may have set a record in Dhaka by having zero downtime in three months. People here are used to experiencing outages on an hourly and daily basis. Motorola Canopy equipment completely resolves those problems and our customers recognize that," said Sajjad.
"We were able to supply Ektoo, Ltd., a Motorola wireless broadband solution that has proven reliable, scalable and cost effective in a city that has no standard DSL service but that is inundated with Internet Service Providers competing for customers," said Dennis Stipati, director of international markets for Motorola Canopy Wireless Broadband group.
Motorola offers wireless broadband products in 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz and 5.7GHz spectrums. Canopy products are deployed in more than 70 countries on six continents. For more information about Motorola Canopy products and service offerings, please visit www.motorola.com/canopy.
