SKYFIBER offers the industry’s first On-Demand broadband licensing model, providing a lower cost of entry and faster time to market than that available with traditional solutions such as fiber or microwave. With the on-demand model, a monthly subscription fee provides bandwidth to meet the customer’s current capacity needs, eliminates on-going equipment maintenance costs, and enables the customer to maintain total flexibility to increase capacity or take advantage of technological advances. SKYFIBER markets its solutions into the Enterprise and Telecommunications global markets and is expanding market penetration by developing strategic partnerships to identify referral opportunities and to provide implementation services.

Led by Co-Founder Mark Doucet, SKYFIBER has assembled a team of seasoned executives with deep industry and technology expertise in fields including high tech, telecommunications, engineering, corporate enterprise, and finance. SKYFIBER’s executives have consistently delivered superior results and demonstrated excellence in all aspects of their business operations.

PATENTED SUPERIORITY AND RELEVANT SOLUTIONS
SKYFIBER™ has a rich patent portfolio that significantly differentiates its products and services from all other competitors in the market. Most notable is the landmark patent, successfully defended in federal court, for the use of Optical Wireless Broadband (OWB) in a mesh (point-to-multipoint, or P2MP) network environment. This means that no other provider can effectively deliver a mesh network using Optical Wireless technology. These unique design advancements enable SKYFIBER to deliver carrier-grade reliability unmatched by our competitors.

Reflecting a continued commitment to developing ground-breaking products, SKYFIBER’s Next Generation product features the ability to increase capacity through a field upgradable software key. As bandwidth demands increase, SKYFIBER’s design enables capacity to be increased, extending the value of the customer’s investment. With free space optical link data rates of 125Mbps and 1.25Gbps, the SKYFIBER solution provides full support of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet services.

As a complement to the technical superiority of the SKYFIBER hardware, SKYFIBER Network is a solution-based methodology that is a core element of SKYFIBER’s ability to deliver true robustness to networks. Within SKYFIBER Network, in-depth business focus is merged with industry leading expertise in wireless optical network design. Our patented architectural elements form interconnected blueprints for SKYFIBER’s business solutions which, when properly configured, establish a network topology to surpass business, competitive differentiation and economic value generation objectives.

SKYFIBER is not necessarily a replacement for fiber or microwave technology, but can work in conjunction with existing infrastructure to provide a hybrid extension. SKYFIBER technology has multiple applications and advantages in building point-to-point (P2P) and patented mesh networks for private and public sector enterprises, or for service providers offering bundled services to network customers. Enhancing their position as an industry innovator, SKYFIBER™ offers the industry’s first On-Demand broadband licensing model, providing a lower cost of entry and faster time to market than that available with traditional solutions such as fiber or microwave. With a fiber solution, for example, it can take six months or more to obtain the necessary permits, procure right-of-way access, and to complete construction. On top of construction expenses, fiber bears recurring access costs as high as $5000 per month. With SKYFIBER, installation can often be completed in a matter of days and monthly subscription costs can be as low as $300.

OUR CORPORATE VISION
Today’s global economy is transforming communications and network business models, propelling telecommunications into a $2.1 trillion market segment, accounting for a full 3% of the global gross economic product. Demand for expanding services and better delivery channels continues to grow exponentially. The Internet is firmly established as the dominant vehicle through which business is conducted, and it continues to revolutionize the way we interact with each other in our daily lives.

This transformation has resulted in unprecedented demands for greater capacity, faster speeds, and higher quality broadband coverage to support the proliferation of voice, data and video content in both wired and mobile enterprises. Current infrastructure capacity is stressed if not saturated. Corporate enterprises must determine how to increase bandwidth availability for their employees or risk impacting productivity and critical business operations. Dial-up lines, and in many cases even DSL, are already well past their ability to answer the demand. Carriers are unable to deploy additional bandwidth fast enough. The cost of deployment, and the time required to do so, are often prohibitive in today’s competitive climate.

This paradigm shift in the world’s communication model poses challenges for communications carriers, operators and other suppliers, as well as the businesses and individuals who are dependent on readily available communication services. It poses an even greater challenge for businesses and individuals in emerging countries and other unreachable areas that do not have access to the communications infrastructure and services needed to compete in the 21st century!

SKYFIBER™ was founded on the belief that demand for bandwidth would continue to rapidly expand; that both the cost of deployment and the time required to deploy must decrease to meet demand. By offering solutions to address exactly these conditions, SKYFIBER endeavors to have a positive impact on the growth efforts within the business sector as well as in aiding the development efforts of emerging and underserved populations.
