SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 7 Conventions Used in This Guide This section describes the text and syntax conventions used throughout this guide. Text Conventions This guide uses the following text conventions: • Italic is used to introduce new terms. • Bold is used to indicate what you click or type in a graphical user interface (for example, commands names or text being entered). In examples showing user interaction with the command-line interface, bold is used to indicate user input as opposed to command output. • A monospace font is used for code elements (variable names, data values, function names, and so forth), command lines, scripts, and source code listings. • Italic-monospace is used for replaceable elements and placeholders within code listings. Syntax Conventions This guide uses the following conventions when showing syntax: • Angle brackets, “<“ and “>”, enclose mandatory elements. You must enter these elements. For example: ping <IP-address> • Square brackets, “[“ and “]”, enclose optional elements. You can omit these elements. For example: show filter [filter-table-number] Square brackets are also used to show the current value of parameters in the output of some commands. • A vertical bar, “|”, separates choices. For example: show bridge [cache | port] SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 9 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the SkyPilot Networks solution, describes the SkyPilot devices, and then illustrates how they combine to form a mesh network. Chapter Highlights • Solution overview • Mesh network • SkyGateway • SkyExtender devices • SkyConnector 1 SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 10 Solution Overview 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 can greatly reduce deployment and maintenance costs. Multiple topology options and network scalability create intriguing options for rapidly expanding a metro Wi-Fi customer base. SkyPilot devices’ multiple antenna configurations work within mixed-use environments of municipal applications and broadband Internet access, supporting public-private partnerships such as public safety services. Mesh Network The typical configuration for a SkyPilot network is a mesh topology, which uses SkyExtenders to extend range and add network flexibility. In a mesh configuration, subscribers can either connect directly to the SkyGateway or connect indirectly via SkyExtenders (see Figure ). In addition to adding range, a mesh network allows connections from locations where obstructions prevent line-of-sight access to a SkyGateway hub. Mesh networks are ideal for dense subscriber environments, for filling in coverage “holes,” and for reaching subscribers in areas where RF communication is obstructed by hills, trees, buildings, or other obstacles.
