SKYWAN 5G
YOUR 5G HIGHLIGHTS

The SKYWAN 5G satellite IP router has integrated an MF- Get all-in-one - the reliable ONE solution
TDMA modem and a DVB-S2 receiver. Whether you need Gain flexible topology - star to mesh networks
a star, multi star, hybrid or full mesh network, the unique Gain space & portability - smallest unit available
hardware design of SKYWAN 5G reliably fits all existing Gain powerful performance - with easy interface
topologies within the VSAT world. Each unit can act either Generate savings - lower cost of ownership
as a HUB or so-called Master Station, thus highlighting its
agility in its network role. Geographical redundancy of
the master station is already built-in. The device is so flex-
ible that you can change your topology at a later point,
use the unit for other networks or even split or pool net- KEY FEATURES
works together.
