MOTOROLA CANOPY

WIRELESS BROADBAND
BANDWIDTH AND
AUTHENTICATION
MANAGER
Release 2.0
BENEFITS OF THE BANDWIDTH AND
AUTHENTICATION MANAGER:
Network operators control Canopy system modules via web
interfaces to achieve the following benefits:
Offer tiered services tailored to the bandwidth demand of
business, SOHO and residential subscribers.
Increase the level of security and keep out hackers by
requiring positive authentication from a central location.
Manage Network Assets efficiently by controlling license
management from a central location.
FEATURES OF RELEASE 2.0
RADIUS Authentication enables network operators to
exchange information freely from the Canopy system and
therefore, will not need to maintain separate databases.
Support for a Variety of Databases means that BAM 2.0 will
work with more installed operations systems including RADIUS
servers, or to a BAM specific database through ODBC (Postgres
and MySQL are currently supported).
Server-Based License Management saves time and effort
because BAM users will no longer need to manually manage
AP specific licenses.
SM Status Control provides the ability to suspend individual
Subscriber Modules without having to delete them from the
database saving time managing the Canopy system.
A centralized view of the network makes it easier to manage
resources efficiently. Motorolas Canopy system is enhanced
with network management tools that improve security
management, network operations and the installation process.
The Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) Release 2.0
reduces administrative effort and interfaces the Canopy
network to RADIUS databases.
OVERVIEW
The BAM provides network operators bandwidth allocation
control to assign maximum data rates per subscriber including:
Sustained Uplink, Uplink Burst Allocation, Sustained Downlink
Data Rate and Downlink Burst. In addition, the BAM is the
central point of authentication in the Canopy system.
Complementing the Canopy systems data encryption, the BAM
provides an additional layer of security to restrict access to
system data.
Motorola encourages customers to migrate to BAM Release
2.0 software. Existing BAM customers can upgrade to release
2.0 at no additional charge.
