Skylark Wireless

Skylark Wireless's Faros® Technology

Skylark Wireless's Faros® platform represents a significant advancement in wireless communication technology. Supporting up to 40 MHz of bandwidth, Faros® can deliver up to 2 Gbps of aggregate capacity per sector and support up to 32 spatial streams. This translates to a robust and high-capacity network that can serve large areas with reliability. Faros® utilizes true Massive MIMO beamforming, which dramatically extends the coverage range, making it ideal for rural and underserved areas. Additionally, Faros® can be deployed in point-to-multipoint (PtMP) configurations, covering over 1,000 square miles from a single tower with non-line-of-sight (NLoS) connectivity.

Skylark Wireless's Impact on Rural Connectivity

Skylark Wireless is transforming the economics of rural connectivity with its Faros® platform. By drastically lowering the cost per household served, Skylark makes it feasible to provide high-speed internet to remote and underserved areas. The Faros® system meets the speed requirements for major rural broadband initiatives such as the Connect America Fund (CAF), USDA ReConnect, and FCC Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF). These initiatives aim to bridge the digital divide, and Skylark's technology plays a critical role in achieving this goal by offering scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance wireless solutions.

Skylark Wireless's Product Range

Skylark Wireless offers a comprehensive range of products designed to meet various wireless communication needs. The Faros® Remote Radio Head (RRH) units are available in multiple frequency bands, including CBRS, EBS/BRS, Low-UHF, and Broadband. The Iris software-defined radio (SDR) platform supports advanced wireless research and rapid prototyping, making it ideal for 5G/6G and Massive MIMO development. Additionally, Skylark provides analog radio front-ends and distributed fronthaul components for custom MIMO radio platforms. Their Faros® Radio Access Network (RAN) Hub ensures clock and time synchronization for scalable Massive MIMO systems, while the Faros® Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) serves as a versatile software-defined radio subscriber unit.

Skylark Wireless's Distributed RAN Architecture

Skylark Wireless's distributed Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture is designed to minimize self-interference and enhance cell-edge performance. This architecture is particularly beneficial in dense deployment scenarios where interference can significantly degrade network performance. By distributing the RAN components, Skylark ensures that each radio unit can operate efficiently, adding more range and capacity. Moreover, the software-defined nature of Skylark's systems allows them to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure and adapt to new regulations and requirements, ensuring long-term viability and performance improvements.

Skylark Wireless's Made in USA Commitment

All of Skylark Wireless's category-defining hardware is designed and assembled in the USA. This commitment ensures high-quality manufacturing standards and supports the domestic economy. By keeping the design and assembly processes within the country, Skylark can maintain stringent quality control measures and deliver reliable products. This approach also allows Skylark to respond quickly to customer needs and regulatory changes, providing a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving wireless communication industry.
