The SkyNet® Ethernet Series of freespace optical transmission systems have been designed to provide a secure 10 Mb/s Ethernet connection across open spaces without the need for DTI licensing and any recurrent licensing fees. There are three models of the SkyNet® Ethernet Series giving connection capabilities over distances of 500, 2000 and 4000 metres. Located within the Infra red head unit is an AUI DTE 15 pin socket to which is mounted a standard form transceiver which gives the ability for connection formats utilising either ThinNet, UTP, Fibre or AUI cable.
Due to the unique nature of the SkyNet® series the products do not affect the standard configuration of any networks and do not act as a hub/bridge or add to the repeater count. All systems are totally transparent to the network and act in exactly the same manner as a section of cable, the SkyNet® Series are a true plug and play connectivity solution. By utilising a unique advanced error resistant coding the SkyNet® Series offers a highly secure connection between sites and a connection which cannot be detected by standard RF scanners or spectrum analysers.
The system offers an industry accepted performance availability figure, which, through field trials and independent laboratory testing, has achieved a continuous operational availability in excess of 99.1% to 99.9% within the UK and world-wide. All SkyNet® systems have been designed to the highest specifications and offer a bit error rate greater than 10-10 during operational availability.
