SkyPilot Connector | 5

SkyPilot Connector

SkyPilot Connectors link your subscribers to the SkyPilot wireless network. An

Ethernet port on the device allows a connection to a subscriber’s computer, or to

a local area network (LAN) via a data switch or router. Designed for installation by

the service provider, the SkyPilot Connector attaches to an external structure such

as an eave, roof, or pole.

The SkyPilot Connector DualBand offers the same features as a SkyPilot Connector,

plus a Wi-Fi access point that enables service providers and municipalities to

provide standard 802.11 wireless access, for targeted hot zones, or for dense

coverage patterns.
