The SkyZhone access point uses 5dBi antennas that provide a 26 degree
beam-width per antenna. Additionally, the three 2.4 GHz antennas are
oriented to provide complete coverage both horizontally and vertically.
SkyZhone access point’s signals extend up and down, and all around to
minimize dead spots.
MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology maximizes the receive signal
strength from typical low-power 802.11b/g client devices and enables
SkyZhone to maintain a reliable link at distances more than 50% greater than
non-MIMO solutions.
In Figure 1 on page 12 , note that the 4.9 GHz 802.11a radio uses the bottom
two antennas and the 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g radio uses the top three antennas.
The 2.4 GHz radio operates in the unlicensed ISM band and can be used for a
variety of applications such as Internet Access, Voice over IP, Mobile Video,
or Enterprise VPN.
The 4.9 GHz radio operates in the licensed spectrum reserved for Public
Safety users including city government, police, fire and EMT.
SkyZhone features
The SkyZhone access points communicate with SkyZhone aggregators using
standards-based SHDSL-EFM uplinks to transport data traffic between access
points and the Central Office or remote cabinet.
After initial power up, the SkyZhone access point contacts the ACS Server,
downloads the latest software, downloads the configuration file, and registers
itself with the Network Management System (NMS) system.
The SkyZhone access points’ dual-radio architecture provides 2.4GHz access
for residential and commercial applications while simultaneously providing
4.9GHz access for public safety applications, using industry standard IEEE
802.11 client devices.
Remote configuration and troubleshooting is supported via SSH and HTTPS
to SkyZhone access points through a separate management VLAN. In
addition, a console port is provided for local access to the CLI.
SkyZhone also includes a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port which provides for
connectivity from the SkyZhone access point to a video camera or other
accessory.
Bonding
The SkyZhone access point supports Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
bonding on SHDSL lines. This bonding complies with the IEEE 802.3ah
standard. Additional SHDSL lines can be added as your bandwidth needs
increase. The SkyZhone access point automatically performs load balancing
over the SHDSL lines.
Figure 2 shows an example of a SkyZhone network configuration.
