General Description
SkyWay -- The Long Distance Connection. The SkyWay series of products
allows you to set up high-speed, wide area networks over long distances. SkyWay
gives you the power to establish LAN-to-LAN connections over distances of up to 30
miles (48 km) - with superior performance. Each SkyWay unit is a compact, single,
integrated outdoor unit designed to withstand harsh environments—there is no need
for an indoor unit. SkyWay can be mounted on a mast or tower up to 4,000 feet
(1200m)away from the LAN. This reach enables you to deploy far less equipment to
cover your service area.
Point-to-Point or Multi-Point Application. SkyWay products can be used any-
where high speed data transfer or Internet access is required including corporate
offices, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, manufacturing, or retail. Configura-
tions can be set for Point-to-Point or Multi-Point applications.
Each SkyWay can function as a base station (central site), a substation (remote site), or
either end of a point-to-point link. Solectek’s broad selection of certified antennas
ensures that you get exactly the radio coverage you need.
Remote Operations. With SkyWay Series products, all management functions,
monitoring, and software updates can be performed remotely from any desired loca-
tion.
Support. Solectek offers a world-wide network of factory trained resellers as well as
on-site and on-line technical assistance programs.
