Introducing the Skyroute Transceiver
The Skyroute transceiver offers a new wireless communica-
tion method for the transmission of event information using
the Cellemetry service. Events are transmitted from the Skyroute
transceiver via the Cellemetry network to the Clearing House
and then to the Central Station in a fast, reliable manner.
Skyroute has been designed for simple and straightforward
installation. Using the Keybus technology, wiring connections
are made directly between Skyroute and the security control
panel.

How the Skyroute Transceiver Works
Cellemetry Communication
The Skyroute transceiver communicates using the control chan-
nel of the existing cellular network. Signals are routed to the
Cellemetry gateway via the SS7 cellular network. A Clearing
House then receives the signals which forwards the events to the central station. Upon receiving an acknowledgement signal from
the central station, the Clearing House then returns a confirma-
tion of delivery signal to the Skyroute transceiver over the
network. For transmission sequence see drawing below:
