Deployment and Installation Services

SKYRS provides comprehensive on-site deployment across Pakistan, ensuring the 5508 is integrated into your network core with maximum efficiency.

Hardware Installation

1. Rack Integration: The unit is mounted in a 19-inch rack. SKYRS engineers ensure a 1RU space with adequate ventilation (front-to-back airflow).

2. SFP Fiber Connectivity: We utilize the 8 SFP ports to provide link aggregation (LAG), connecting to your core switches (e.g., Catalyst 6500 or 9500) for high-bandwidth backhaul.

3. Power Redundancy: We install dual hot-swappable AC power supplies to prevent downtime during power fluctuations common in local industrial zones.

Deployment Topology

The 5508 is typically deployed as a Centralized Controller. All wireless traffic is tunneled via CAPWAP from the Access Points to the 5508 for centralized policy enforcement and data switching.
