| SkyConnector – Indoor and Outdoor CPE |
One of the key success factors for service providers deploying broadband wireless is cost effectiveness. The wireless network has to be capable of providing an economical means of building an infrastructure as well as a profi table method of deploying subscriber access devices. SkyPilot’s SkyGateway™ and SkyExtender™ provide a cost-effective way to build a world-class infrastructure and the SkyConnector™ enables service providers to focus on profitable subscriber access.
 The SkyConnectors were designed to keep both capital expenditures and operating costs in check when deploying broadband wireless access (BWA) services to a broad base of subscribers. Like their DSL and cable modem counterparts, the SkyConnectors are costeffective indoor and outdoor CPE that can be used for either business or residential access but without requiring copper or coaxial connections. The SkyConnectors provide an Ethernet drop to the subscriber and connect to the high-capacity wireless mesh network through a directional 5 GHz link. In addition to keeping per-unit costs down, the SkyConnectors also make efficient use of the wireless mesh infrastructure through long range (up to 7.5 miles/12 km) and non-line of sight (NLOS) connectivity. To combat ongoing operational expenses, the SkyConnectors are easy to deploy with audible and visual feedback of signal strength to ensure proper installation and are provisioned through the centrally-management SkyProvision™ application.
Not only do the SkyConnectors keep costs down but they also provide a range of advanced, revenue-enhancing services. The units integrate per-user rate control to allow for different service tiers (i.e. 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, etc.) as well as providing VLAN support for transparent LAN services and quality of service parameters for latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP and video surveillance.
The indoor and outdoor units are available in a choice of frequency bands to meet the variety of specifications for international deployments. The frequency bands include 4.940-5.150, 5.150-5.450, 5.450-5.725, and 5.725-5.850 GHz and selection of the frequency band is made at the time of ordering. |
