Overview 

The SkyZhone access point (Models 1X00) are AC-powered carrier class 
outdoor Wi-Fi access points with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet backhaul to every unit. 
The SkyZhone supports a variety of applications including VoIP, internet 
access, mobile video, and enterprise VPNs optimized for citywide Wi-Fi 
deployments by telephone companies. 
 
SkyZhone enables telephone companies to deploy a more reliable, lower 
latency, higher speed and lower cost network than traditional mesh Wi-Fi 
solutions.
