Sky-View Technologies …
The Broadband Superhighway of Southern Utah
Digital Cable TV & High-Speed Wireless Internet
Technology has come a long way over the years. Digital Wireless Cable TV can bring the best of television and CD quality music to your entertainment center. With more than 140 clear digital channels, reliable service that is better than cable or satellite, you are sure to be pleased.
Along with desiring premium TV, the demands you make on your internet connection are changing. As the demand has grown so has the need for a transportation system to deliver it. The generation of tomorrow continues to look for faster and better ways to receive information.
Whether it’s downloading music or looking for recipes, the need for speed is definitely here. Everyone wants to jump on the information super highway. Even the senior generation is busy downloading the latest genealogy find or e-mailing the latest pictures of their grandchildren.
Meet Bea Robins. Although her name is not spelled like a bee, you could certainly fool those who know her. Bea is always busy with genealogy. She has compiled several books on her family and continues to surf the internet better than a California wave catcher. We asked Bea what she thought about Sky-View:
“Many times over the past six years, I have had to stop for a minute and give thanks for Sky-View Technologies and its staff. In the course of compiling a biography (a mini-history of Provo, Utah) with 640 pages and 235 pictures, Sky-View has played an important part in its publication. With several proof-readers scattered all over and myself in St. George with a 40 year collection of data, we relied heavily upon an internet server that was always up and going to transmit large volumes of data, pictures, and research notes. It took a fast, sizeable ‘wireless’ transmitting facility to handle the volume of internet communications between the publication team. Sky-View was always there with remarkable promptness to solve any problems. This same efficient, reliable service sustained me during hundreds of hours spent in ‘beta testing’ new superhighway internet programs for the LDS Church Family History Department. Without Sky-View, I could not have accomplished the many projects that required the latest technology in internet service they rendered to me.”
Sky-View also provides service to many of the local Family History Centers where many can enjoy the quick access, speed, and reliability.
Tim Weeks, a local rancher, recently had 8 internet cameras installed so he could monitor his prized mares from his place of business.
Many businesses utilize Sky-View internet services from Realtors, Mortgage Brokers, Web Designers, and authors. Even CBS utilizes the service to monitor their broadcast equipment in St. George.
Sky-View got its start in 1992 in St. George as a provider of Analog TV. It now provides Digital TV and High Speed Internet and Data Services
CEO and Founder of Sky-View Technologies, Ray Carpenter, had this to say: “I remember as a young man how enjoyable it was to have reference books and encyclopedias available to read and give knowledge to us. Today all we have to do is type a subject into our computer and find vast resources of knowledge at our fingertips. “Whether its watching TV for relaxation or education or surfing the Internet, Sky-View can help bring that knowledge home”
