coolbuster2007 Posted July 12, 2008 CID Share Posted July 12, 2008 hi there syd vasquez & welcome to tmn does being padlocked mean smartbro has no more signal in your area? becoz it will be useless if you buy a new canopy if you will not be able to receive signal from them. or are you currently using the usb modem (smartbro plugit)?

COOLBUSTER, All SMART BRO as well as GLOBE CELLSITES here in Abra has a major transmitter at CANAO (Ilocos Sur) RADAR STATION which is transmitted to various CELLSITES in Abra Province, is it possible that I will change my present MOTOROLA CANOPY Antennae to a compatible model so that I can have SMART BRO signal just like other SMART BRO CELL SITES in Abra?

coolbuster2007 Posted July 13, 2008 CID Share Posted July 13, 2008 from my experience, a subscriber doesn't have to buy a canopy antenna. for replacement, he just have to request it from the smartbro installer/franchisee/agency. for new subscription, it is included in the plan package. regardless of if your gonna pursue with the purchase or not, let me give you this guide: i only know two canopy antenna models which they are installing, these are 1. Canopy SM The Subscriber Module (SM) is a customer premises equipment (CPE) device that extends network or Internet services by communication with an AP. The SM is configurable through a web interface. A Canopy SM can communicate with either a Canopy AP or an Advantage SP. 2. Canopy Lite Canopy Lite SMs cost less and provide less throughput than regular Canopy SMs. They support the same radio frequencies, interference tolerance, and product reliability. They give operators the additional option to serve cost-sensitive customers who want standard services (web browsing, email, VoIP, and downloads), but do not require the higher throughput that is available with a regular Canopy SM. Canopy Lite SMs support an aggregate (uplink plus downlink) throughput of 512 Kbps. Through purchased floating licenses that Prizm manages, they are upgradeable to 1, 2, 4, or 7 Mbps aggregate throughput. A Canopy Lite SM can communicate with only a Canopy Advantage AP. The older antenna is Sendfar, faster than the Canopy in terms of speed but is rarely available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
