Ignite Skyus DS Installation Guide  

Overview 

The Skyus DS is a rugged, low-cost, self-contained modem kit that simplifies the integration efforts of adding mobile 
connectivity in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and accelerates time-to market for creating connected devices. In 
contrast to standalone radio modules, the Skyus DS uses a standard USB connection interface, making it readily 
compatible with the largest choice of host devices. 

Integration of the Skyus into a Windows based system requires at a minimum two high level components, the driver 
and a mechanism to provide connection management. This document is intended to guide you through the process 
of connecting the hardware and setting up these two components. 

Skyus DS features include: 

 

Operation on T-Mobile networks 

 

Integration with Crossroads IoT application framework 

 

GPS ready 

 

External SMA antenna ports
