SkyPilot has raised another $21m to continue growth: The company is an early entrant into metro-scale networking, once lumped together as mesh networking, but now involved a variety of approaches of which SkyPilot's is currently unique but analogous to methods employed by BelAir, Cisco, Motorola, and Strix. Their equipment is used by MetroFi, which has been scoring contracts left and right, and thus one might see a connection between the upcoming demand for millions of dollars of equipment by MetroFi and SkyPilot's ability to raise funds. However, the company talks about a large number of customers--15,000 units to 200 customers in 40 countries--MetroFi is the poster child because of its high visibility. MetroFi is mentioned once in the release, while MetroFi's cities are called SkyPilot's "significant wins."
What % of the wins by Metro-Fi and or Skypilot involved free build out or no expense to the Muni??
[Editor's note: To my knowledge, MetroFi has not required any funds from any bid it has submitted or won.--gf]
