Plan The Installation
Site Survey
In a typical wide-area wireless network utilizing SkyPilot units, the SkyGateWay is
installed on the roof of a tall building or tower. The direct coverage area of the
SkyGateWay is generally proportionate to the height of the installation.
A SkyGateWay may also be used in smaller scale networks. Examples include high-
capacity business or academic campus interconnection, or a localized access
network. In this case, the SkyGateWay could be installed on a local, medium height
building or utility pole.
The SkyExtender may be installed on home rooftops, tall buildings, or on light or
utility poles.
Refer to the
Site Planning
document for more information.
Frequency
SkyPilot recommends that an operator utilize a spectrum analyzer to scan the UNII
spectrum prior to installing one or more SkyGateWays. This information will be
necessary later when configuring the frequency. See the
SkyPilot Network
Management Guide
for more information about frequency
