About This Guide

This guide explains how to install and set up a SkyPilot™ SkyAccess™

DualBand that provides access to a SkyPilot wireless mesh network and serves

as an access point for users of 802.1x wireless (Wi-Fi).

This guide assumes administrator-level knowledge of IP networks and a

familiarity with configuring wireless devices.

SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 5

Overview

SkyAccess DualBand is a dual-radio solution that combines SkyPilot’s

long- range, high-capacity 5 GHz mesh backhaul with a high-powered

802.11b/g access point that lets service providers and municipalities offer

standard Wi-Fi to subscribers.

Features and benefits

SkyAccess DualBand provides a highly flexible wireless solution that

combines scalable Wi-Fi capacity with the seamless coverage of a

wireless mesh network.

Each SkyAccess DualBand can support multiple WLANs (wireless local

area networks), each with its own VLAN and security policy. One

SkyAccess DualBand can support several business models with a single

service installation.

About access point configuration

The SkyAccess DualBand access point is set up to provide Wi-Fi access

right out of the box. The access point includes a preconfigured WLAN

with the SSID (service set identifier) SkyAccessDualBand, providing

WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected access – pre-shared key) protection. Users

attempting to connect to the SkyAccessDualBand WLAN must provide

a password (publicpublic by default). The default configuration is

provided for initial management and configuration of the SkyAccess

DualBand access point via a wireless connection. You should always

create a unique access point configuration before testing the device or

making it available to customers.

NOTE A wireless network protected by WPA-PSK is vulnerable. To

provide a more secure level of protection, configure the WLAN

for WPA authentication in which each user is authenticated

separately.

SkyPilot network topology

SkyPilot Networks™ delivers a wireless, end-to-end broadband solution

that seamlessly supports high-capacity, high-coverage mesh networks.

Designed for managed-access networks and service providers, the

SkyPilot network takes broadband wireless the “last mile” with a cost-

effective, robust infrastructure solution.

Based on a high-performance architecture that deploys intelligent

antenna arrays, the SkyPilot network delivers a dynamic broadband

solution with significant advantages for business and home users.

SkyPilot wireless devices are simple to install and easily fit into any type

of wireless environment—metropolitan, business, or home.

The auto-discovery and rapid provisioning features of a SkyPilot wireless

mesh network greatly reduce deployment and maintenance costs.

Support for multiple topologies and high scalability allow attractive

options for rapidly expanding a metro Wi-Fi customer base.

A SkyPilot network (as illustrated in Figure 1) may include the following

physical components:

SkyGateway™ (required)

SkyExtender™

SkyExtender™ DualBand

SkyConnector™ Indoor

SkyConnector™ Outdoor

SkyAccess™ DualBand

SkyGateway

The SkyGateway operates as a base station for a wireless mesh

network. It provides an interface between wired infrastructure and a

wireless network of subscribers who enjoy secure, high-speed access to

the Internet or to wide area networks (WANs).

A SkyPilot wireless network requires at least one SkyGateway for normal

operation. If necessary, you can add additional SkyGateways to increase

network capacity or provide redundancy.

The SkyGateway typically resides at a location with easy access to wired

infrastructure—usually a POP (point of presence) or data center.

SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 8

For optimal performance, install the SkyGateway on an elevated site

such as a cell tower or the top of a tall building.

SkyExtender and SkyExtender DualBand

SkyExtenders and SkyExtender DualBands provide a cost-effective way

to add capacity and balance network loads, by operating as “repeaters”

to extend the wireless range of a SkyGateway (see Figure 1). You can

add these devices to your network to expand your coverage footprint and

provide redundancy through SkyPilot’s mesh networking features. (A

SkyExtender can also provide subscribers with a direct connection to the

wireless network via its Ethernet port.)

In addition, the SkyExtender DualBand serves as a Wi-Fi access point,

enabling service providers and municipalities to provide standard 802.11

wireless access across great distances, for targeted hot zones, or for

dense coverage patterns.

For optimal performance, install the SkyExtender in an elevated location

such as a roof, tower, or utility pole.

SkyConnector and SkyAccess DualBand

SkyConnectors link your subscribers to the SkyPilot wireless network. An

Ethernet port on the SkyConnector enables a connection to be

established to the subscribers’ computers, or to a local area network

(LAN) via a data switch or router. For flexibility of installation, SkyPilot

offers indoor and outdoor versions of the SkyConnector.

Designed for installation by the service provider, the outdoor version of

the SkyConnector attaches to an external structure such as an eave,

roof, or pole. Because it provides a better line of sight to the SkyGateway

or a SkyExtender, the outdoor SkyConnector generally offers greater

range than the indoor unit.

The indoor version of the SkyConnector is a plug-and-play network

device that a subscriber can easily install without technical assistance.

Service providers should advise subscribers to place the SkyConnector

SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 9

in a location with an optimal sight line to the SkyGateway or a

SkyExtender.

SkyAccess DualBand offers the same features as a SkyConnector, plus

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

provide standard 802.11 wireless access across great distances, for

targeted hot zones, or for dense coverage patterns.
