SkyPilot Networks, the provider of municipal wireless access nodes for Metrofi and others, today announced that it has received FCC certification for products in the 5.250-5.350 GHz and 5.470-5.725 GHz frequency ranges.
These frequencies add to SkyPilot’s FCC certifications in the 4.940-4.990 and 5.725-5.850 GHz ranges as well as other international certifications across the entire spectrum from 4.940-5.850 GHz, which currently provides coverage for over 50 countries around the world. “The availability of an additional 355 MHz of unlicensed spectrum is significant to last-mile wireless ISPs,” said Paul Gordon, president and CEO for SkyPilot.
When combining this much spectrum with SkyPilot’s unique ability to easily deploy remote point-to-multipoint base stations, wireless operators now have an extremely cost-effective method of leveraging unlicensed spectrum to provide high-capacity last mile broadband services over large coverage areas.”
“The new certification is available on SkyPilot’s base station products – SkyGateway and SkyExtenders – as well as on the SkyConnector customer premise equipment (CPE).
These frequencies can also be used to provide backhaul for outdoor 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks and 4.9 GHz public safety networks through the multiple band products.
