SyncMesh™
Synchronous Time-Division Duplex (TDD) Protocol
All SkyPilot mesh infrastructure products have an embedded GPS chip that provides a common clock for synchronization. With synchronization across all elements, SkyPilot utilizes a WiMAX-like time-division duplex (TDD) protocol to schedule transmissions between devices. SkyPilot's TDD protocol is inherently deterministic and thus provides the low-jitter and low-latency required for latency-sensitive applications like VoIP.
Dynamic Bandwidth Scheduling
The most significant aspect of SkyPilot's system is its ability to dynamically optimize network-wide bandwidth through a sophisticated, distributed scheduling protocol. This synchronous mesh protocol takes into account the interconnected mesh of sectorized antennas to coordinate point-to-point transmissions between systems that maximize the available frequency, link capacity, and overall network architecture. Not only does this mitigate interference and provide spectral reuse and spatial segmentation (see Superior RF Management), but it also provides prioritized traffic management to maintain quality-of-service metrics and optimize throughput for all other traffic.
