Municipal Utility Deploys Motorola's Canopy Wireless

The East Bay Municipal Utility District, which is the water utility serving Oakland, California and adjacent communities, is deploying Motorola's Canopy wireless broadband technology to monitor data at its pumping plants, reservoirs, dams, water treatment plants and other sites. The wireless WAN backbone has over 20 point-to-point links utilizing Canopy's 5.7 GHz 20 Mbps backhaul equipment. Some of the links extend over 35 miles. The utility plans to add access points at many East Bay locations and subscriber modules at over 200 remote sites.
