The (hi)story of Skyline Communications
connecting the world since 1985
It all started in the year 1985. Back in the day, Skyline Communications was a local hardware distributor, well-known for its expertise and technical support. But around the turn of the century, the introduction of the DataMiner NMS/OSS platform changed the game completely. Skyline quickly acquired the main position in the market of vendor-independent network management solutions, resulting in the innovative and thought-leading company it is today.
