◦
On July 10, 1997, the FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("the Bureau") and the Office of Engineering and Technology granted a request for waiver of the
Commission's Rules and concurrently the Bureau conditionally granted a fiveyear authorization to HySky’s predecessor and granted the right to construct and operate, on a secondary basis, a nationwide, commercial, two-way short-data messaging system in the high frequency ("HF") range of the electromagnetic spectrum, subject to certain technical and operational limitations.
◦
On July 20, 2002, the license was updated and reissued with all military restrictions lifted.

HySky uses 954 uncongested HF channels
A Network Operations Center scans the entire HF band every 5 seconds to determine which channels are unoccupied and optimal to transmit data over

The System knows what frequencies are propagating
A Propagation Evaluation Network of sounders & sophisticated algorithms evaluates the network and optimizes data traffic for 99.99% throughput.
HySky’s sophisticated waveform & modem technology overcomes multi-path effects
HySky adapts a military HF waveform and proprietary modem technology to ensure the highest level of service
HySky uses time & frequency diversity to ensure message delivery
If a message is not received on the 1 st try, the message is repeated at a different frequency to guarantee delivery; the system then generates a message acknowledgment.

This year (2013) the transition to 3G will no longer be a matter of choice. That’s because carriers are already migrating their product lines to 3G.
A major cellular carrier in the U.S. recently stopped certifying 2G-only products of any kind and remaining carriers are sure to follow suit.
Before 2015 over 5 million 2G cell mods (resulting in
5 million truck-rolls) used in the security industry will be changed due to obsolesce of the technology
ADT will change over 1 million
Vivint will change over 700,000
HySky Proprietary Information 2013 23
In the U.S., the lower frequency band
(2G) is at 850 MHz and the higher band is at 1900 MHz. (3G). Most cellular devices installed inside homes and businesses rely on the deep penetrating
850 MHz band to connect to neighboring cell towers.
After December 31, 2016, when the
2G Sunset is complete, it will be just like the Analog Sunset. Anything using 2G will stop working overnight. Only 3G/4G will work from that day forward
