This guide assumes administrator-level knowledge of IP networks and a familiarity with configuring wireless devices. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 6 SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 7 O v e r v i e w SkyAccess DualBand is a dual-radio solution that combines SkyPilot’s long- range, high-capacity 5.8 GHz mesh backhaul with a high-powered 802.11b/g access point that lets service providers and municipalities offer standard Wi-Fi to subscribers. *     ( SkyAccess DualBand provides a highly flexible wireless solution that combines scalable Wi-Fi capacity with the seamless coverage of a wireless mesh network. Each SkyAccess DualBand can support multiple WLANs (wireless local area networks), each with its own VLAN and security policy. One SkyAccess DualBand can support several business models with a single service installation. <<Illustration?>>   ) (# The SkyAccess DualBand access point is set up to provide Wi-Fi access right out of the box. The access point includes a preconfigured WLAN with the SSID (service set identifier) SkyAccessDualBand, providing WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected access – pre-shared key) protection. Users attempting to connect to the SkyAccessDualBand WLAN must provide a password (publicpublic by default). The default configuration is provided for initial management and configuration of the SkyAccess DualBand access point via a wireless connection.

    )# SkyPilot Networks™ delivers a wireless, end-to-end broadband solution that seamlessly supports high-capacity, high-coverage mesh networks. Designed for managed-access networks and service providers, the SkyPilot network takes broadband wireless the “last mile” with a cost- effective, robust infrastructure solution. Based on a high-performance architecture that deploys intelligent antenna arrays, the SkyPilot network delivers a dynamic broadband solution with significant advantages for business and home users. SkyPilot wireless devices are simple to install and easily fit into any type of wireless environment—metropolitan, business, or home. The auto-discovery and rapid provisioning features of a SkyPilot wireless mesh network greatly reduce deployment and maintenance costs. Support for multiple topologies and high scalability allow attractive options for rapidly expanding a metro Wi-Fi customer base. A SkyPilot network (as illustrated in Figure 1) may include the following physical components:

    The SkyGateway operates as a base station for a wireless mesh network. It provides an interface between wired infrastructure and a wireless network of subscribers who enjoy secure, high-speed access to the Internet or to wide area networks (WANs). A SkyPilot wireless network requires at least one SkyGateway for normal operation. If necessary, you can add additional SkyGateways to increase network capacity or provide redundancy. The SkyGateway typically resides at a location with easy access to wired infrastructure—usually a POP (point of presence) or data center. For optimal performance, install the SkyGateway on an elevated site such as a cell tower or the top of a tall building.

/0    SkyExtenders and SkyExtender DualBands provide a cost-effective way to add capacity and balance network loads, by operating as “repeaters” to extend the wireless range of a SkyGateway (see Figure 1). You can add these devices to your network to expand your coverage footprint and provide redundancy through SkyPilot’s mesh networking features. (A SkyExtender can also provide subscribers with a direct connection to the wireless network via its Ethernet port.) In addition, the SkyExtender DualBand serves as a Wi-Fi access point, enabling service providers and municipalities to provide standard 802.11 wireless access across great distances, for targeted hot zones, or for dense coverage patterns. For optimal performance, install the SkyExtender in an elevated location such as a roof, tower, or utility pole. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 11
  
  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 prov…

1 Helen Zhao Subject: FW: Skypilot Network Inc., FCC ID: RV7-SC3110, Assessment NO.: AN07T6708, Notice#1 From: September Radecki Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 12:29 PM To: Helen Zhao Cc: Barbara Judge; Michael Heckrotte Subject: RE: Skypilot Network Inc., FCC ID: RV7-SC3110, Assessment NO.: AN07T6708, Notice#1 Hi Helen, Attached are the replies to your questions on the above referenced application. Question #1: This dual-band device has a 2.4GHz radio and a 5.8GHz radio, but the user manual which is specifically for SkyAccess Dualband indicates: Frequency band: 4.940-5.150, 5.150-5.450, 5.450-5.725, or 5.725-5.850 GHz Wi-Fi Access: 2.400-2.491 GHz Please update the user manual. By the way, page 14 contains unreadable characters, please update that page. <CCS ANSWER:> The User Manual has been corrected, and a new revised version is attached. Question #2: The two test reports (one for 2.4GHz band, one for 5.8GHz band) provide incorrect EUT Description. The EUT is not a single radio device, please update the test reports. <CCS ANSWER:> The 2.4 and 5.8 reports have been updated and combined into one and the IC standards have been included so we now have one combined report, for your reference. Please see attached revised report. Question #3: The test report shows the 5.8G band test was done at low channel: 5740MHz & high channel 5835MHz, the Form 731 lists incorrect frequency range. In future please always check the test report to ensure correct entries on Form 731. <CCS ANSWER:> Thank you for your patience and help! Sorry for the inconvenience.

This product operates at both the 5.8GHZ and 2.4 GHZ licenses exempt bands. This product is similar to the earlier certified Single Band Connector (SBC), FCCID – RV7-SC1110. The difference being the new product has the software added to enable operation of the 2.4 GHz radio portion of the unit. The same controller PCB is used in both products. All testing performed in the SC1110 certification used identical controller hardware. The added circuit to the DBC is the 2.4 GHZ active T/R switch circuit external to the controller board. The 5.8GHZ radio chain remains identical the SBC product. The Theory of operation highlights the added circuit for the dual band product. Sincerely Yours, William G. Olsen Director of Hardware Skypilot Network Inc)
