Interesting device though.
Skyboxe is positioning its 4G and 5G fixed wireless broadband device as an alternative for consumers who don’t want to pay cable companies for TV and internet.
The company said its Skyboxe Hub 4G – which combines hardware, data connectivity, and entertainment and productivity software – has received an equipment authorization from the FCC. That means the company can begin trials with potential wireless partners and soon begin selling the device and service to consumers. The company is also selling Skyboxe Live, a subscription service “tied to your wireless data plan that allows the Skyboxe platform to work seamlessly with your mobile service provider.”
The Skyboxe platform is powered by Android TV and provides fixed, high-speed broadband and additional services from a wireless carrier. The device can handle a combination of live, local broadcast TV channels along with free and subscription-based video-on-demand services. In addition to its 5G modem, the Skyboxe Hub also supports a 802.11ac Wi-Fi router.
