Elliptical Parabolic Reflectors for the Motorola Canopy™ Broadband Wireless System.


RD18 Reflector

RD18 Reflector
EDDCO offers a range of Elliptical Parabolic Reflectors for the Motorola Canopy™ Broadband Wireless System to WISP customers throughout the United States.

Our antenna reflector concentrates the signal and reduces noise, which really helps 'jitter' by narrowing the pattern and reducing multi-path signals coming from the sides. The reflectors are functionally similar to the Motorola reflector kit, and accept the standard Motorola Subscriber Modules (SM). Performance of the RD18 is comparable to the Motorola reflector kit, offering several dB of gain over use of the SM by itself, and it is compatible with the 2.4GHz, 5.4GHz, and 5.7GHz Canopy™ systems.
