Is a Skyriver connection secure?
First, unlike analog telephone transmissions, digital transmissions of data traffic are much more difficult to intercept because of the complex cryptology associated with the technology. Second, like other Internet applications such as secure email or web browsing, users can employ many security applications which prevent eavesdropping on transmissions – whether such security applications are installed on the last-mile link to the user’s house or elsewhere in the Internet. Third, Skyriver’s fixed wireless system provides an over-the-air encryption, which cryptographically scrambles the data bits, preventing anyone “listening” to the airwaves from deciphering any messages. In fact, the microwave system’s over-the-air link may be the most secure leg of the typical user’s Internet connection.
