SkyWay USA Professional Installation
SkyWay USA will schedule a professional installation of your home equipment at a time convenient for you. We will ship your SkyWay USA satellite dish antenna with LNB, SkyWay USA modem, and SkyBeeper directly to your home. The installer will provide all necessary cabling, grounding materials, and other accessories necessary to complete your installation:
A standard residential installation includes:
- Mounting and grounding the SkyWay USA dish at a mutually approved location at your residence. The location must have a line of sight to the satellite and be accessible with a 25 ft. ladder. The SkyWay USA dish should be mounted at least 5' off the ground and out of reach of small children. Wall mounts must be attached to surfaces or building materials able to support the SkyWay USA dish; stucco, aluminum or vinyl siding may not be suitable.
- Drilling one point of exterior entry, one point of interior entry, and installing one wall jack at the interior point of entry location
- Installing and routing the RG-6 coaxial cable from the dish antenna, through the exterior point of entry, through the interior point of entry, to the interior wall jack. Standard installation includes up to 100 ft. of cable; longer cable could require installation of a line amplifier and will result in additional charges.
- Connecting the ground wire (provided) from the grounding block to a NEC-approved bonding point. Where necessary, your installer may drive a standard 6 foot grounding rod into the adjacent earth (available at an additional charge).
- Installing and weather-sealing appropriate cable bushing, wall penetrations, and mounting locations
- Obtaining the azimuth & elevation for the SkyWay USA satellite, pointing the dish antenna to find the satellite and optimizing signal strength to the modem.
- Connecting your computer to the SkyWay USA modem with a second cable (up to 25 ft.). You will also need access to a standard outside telephone line close by.
- Activating and commissioning your SkyWay USA system with your permission
- Demonstrating your SkyWay USA system is operational by browsing the Internet
- Cleaning up debris from your residence after the installation is complete
- Completing the Installation Work Order along with your signature for verification
