Initial
Email Letter to Journalists for SkyPilot Networks
This was a three-week effort to
develop interest in SkyPilot from analysts and writers in the wireless broadband
field prior to the SuperComm convention in order to increase booth traffic
for SkyPilot's product release. FNS, working as a subcontractor under Code8
Communications, was responsible for interviews with both the top two analysts
and the top technology editor designated by SkyPilot, as well as nine more
of the twenty interviews scheduled before SuperComm.

Dear Journalist,
Wireless broadband
is a rapidly developing market. Networks are already going into place in England
and Japan. The FCC has just convened a special panel to consider how best
to bring wireless broadband to market. SkyPilot Networks has an excellent
technical solution based on readily available 802.11 chipsets nearly ready
for market. Although we are monitoring WiMAX and 802.16 development, we believe
that by using 802.11 technology we have solved two of the greatest barriers
to an effective wireless broadband network: cost and bandwidth as the network
develops. The FCC seems to agree.
We have a team
deeply experienced in three important areas: wireless transmissions; broadband
development and mesh technology. Using those talents, SkyPilot developed a
system combining commodity chips, an unlicensed spectrum, and standards-based
software to reduce the cost and complexity of wireless broadband deployments.
One of SkyPilot's greatest assets is flexibility. The company started as an
operator and then shifted to an OEM, so carefully examined operator challenges
and made design decisions to enable greater coverage, range and capacity with
a much more modest investment than other networks.
Unlike competitors,
we can deploy point-to-point, point to multi point and mesh topology to fit
customer needs and geography. The simplicity of the SkyPilot Network means
the network goes up almost as fast as you can plug in the hardware, and the
cost is amazingly reasonable. The FCC thinks enough of SkyPilot's potential
to have invited them to stand alongside Verizon and Motorola at the FCC's
wireless broadband forum earlier this month.
We have believe
we have achieved a real breakthrough in bringing wireless broadband to market
and would love to tell you how we came to be invited to the forum, and how
SkyPilot's carrier-grade solutions are substantially better than the competition.
Mark Johnson, our CEO and Paul Gordon, vice president of technology, are both
available to talk about what puts us in front in this important market. We
will have a booth at SuperComm, in Chicago, June 20-24, and would welcome
your visit.
