SMA Antenna

Connectors

The Skyus platform is a rugged, low-cost, self-contained modem kit. The Skyus platform simplifies the integration
efforts of adding mobile connectivity in M2M solutions and accelerates time-to market for creating connected
devices. In contrast to standalone radio modules, the Skyus uses a standard USB connection interface, making it
readily compatible with the largest choice of host devices.

Integration of the Skyus into a Windows based system requires at a minimum two high level components, the driver
and a mechanism to provide connection management. This document is intended to guide you through the
process of connecting the hardware and setting up these two components.

Intended Audience

This document is intended for users responsible for the initial set-up of the Skyus and assumes the installer possesses
