The SkyGateway™ Pro complements the SkyGateway series of products, operating as a carrierclass

SkyPilot® network base station that can be used as a building-block for high-capacity

network deployments. Mirroring the fl exibility of a standard SkyGateway, the SkyGateway

Pro provides capacity injection to the mesh network. Unlike the SkyGateway, however, the

SkyGateway Pro employs a high-gain, steerable beamforming panel antenna to service a 90°

sector. By deploying multiple SkyGateway Pro units, service providers can easily scale available

bandwidth to meet changing application demands and enhance network reliability with redundant

points of service. The SkyGateway Pro enhances the range of SkyPilot options available

to service providers, integrators, and municipalities to deploy a wireless infrastructure ready to

serve multiple private and public sector applications.

The SkyGateway Pro employs a smart antenna that is able to steer a 15° (azimuth beamwidth)

high-gain (22 dBi) beam over a 90° coverage arc. The high gain provides an improved link

budget compared to the SkyGateway, supporting comparably higher modulation data rates

and allowing increased data throughput to be achieved. The SkyGateway Pro uses advanced

RF isolation techniques to improve performance in environments prone to radio interference

and to allow units to be readily collocated. Each SkyGateway Pro panel can then be mounted

with the desired downtilt as needed for tower and building deployments, unlike the standard

SkyGateway where its 360° antenna array did not allow donwtilting.

Multiple SkyGateway Pro units can be collocated, where any unit serving the same sector must

be confi gured to operate on diff erent frequency channels. Up to four SkyGateway Pro units can

be confi gured to operate on the same channel and provide full 360° coverage. When multiple

SkyGateway Pro units operate on the same channel, the units are connected together with an

external Ethernet switch in order to coordinate packet transmission and reception. Coordinated

scheduling is distributed among the units to avoid creation of a single point of failure. Throughput

is increased, however, because each SkyGateway Pro can transmit and receive simultaneously,

except in certain cases when the beams are too close to each other. As a result, up to a 4x

increase in capacity compared to a standard SkyGateway can be realized.
