SkyConnectors link your subscribers to the SkyPilot wireless network. An
Ethernet port on the SkyConnector enables a connection to be
established to the subscribers’ computers, or to a local area network
(LAN) via a data switch or router. For flexibility of installation, SkyPilot
offers indoor and outdoor versions of the SkyConnector.
Designed for installation by the service provider, the outdoor version of
the SkyConnector attaches to an external structure such as an eave,
roof, or pole. Because it provides a better line of sight to the SkyGateway
or a SkyExtender, the outdoor SkyConnector generally offers greater
range than the indoor unit.
The indoor version of the SkyConnector is a plug-and-play network
device that a subscriber can easily install without technical assistance.
Service providers should advise subscribers to place the SkyConnector
in a location with an optimal sight line to the SkyGateway or a
SkyExtender.
SkyAccess DualBand offers the same features as a SkyConnector, plus
a Wi-Fi access point that allows service providers and municipalities to
provide standard 802.11 wireless access across great distances, for
targeted hot zones, or for dense coverage patterns.
