Siklu
The radio relay specialist for EtherHaul E-band & V-band radios
Increasing demands on the data volumes to be transmitted, driven by the unabated development of mobile media usage behaviour, require new solutions for wireless communication with extremely high transmission speeds.
Due to the high bandwidths available, frequencies in the so-called E-band between 71 and 76 gigahertz (GHz) and between 81 and 86 GHz are particularly suitable for terrestrial applications with high bit rates.
In addition, the comparatively low attenuation of electromagnetic waves due to atmospheric influences in this frequency range allows long transmission distances.
The gigabit radio relay solutions from Siklu operate in the licence-free 60 GHz band as well as the 70/80 GHz band, which requires a licence, and offer full-duplex bandwidths of up to 2 gigabits per second. The Siklu outdoor solution is designed for distances of several kilometres and, thanks to its small dimensions of 30-60 cm and integrated antennas, allows extremely unobtrusive installation. As a complete outdoor radio relay solution with integrated PoE power supply, as well as installation by our experienced system technicians, quick and easy commissioning at your site is guaranteed.
Siklu's EhterHaul is a carrier class, high performance E-band radio relay system that dramatically reduces the cost of wireless backhaul while increasing throughput. The system is based on an all-silicon design, which consists of few components and convinces with more reliability and enormous cost savings. The low power consumption and the low-cost licensed E-band 80 GHz spectrum also help to reduce overall costs.
Highlights:
- 2 Gbps throughput
- The most deployed millimetre wave radios in 2012, selected for wireless backhaul Tier 1 operators worldwide.
- Operates in a licensed, reliable and cost-effective 80 GHz E-band spectrum
- Revolutionary all-silicon design offers the most favourable price in the industry
- High reliability with advanced interference-free / error-free adaptive bandwidth, coding and modulation (ABCM)
- Enhanced timing-over-packet handling (SyncE, 1588) allows migration to packet-based backhaul
- Carrier-class availability and resilience with extended ring, mesh and link aggregation (1+1,2+0)
- Standards-based for seamless integration into existing networks and multi-vendor interoperability
Green design - extremely low power consumption, zero footprint, all-outdoor, extremely light weight - Quick and easy installation requires minimal site preparation
- Winner of the "Frost & Sullivan 2011 European Gigabit Ethernet Radios New Product Innovation Award".
With the 60 and 70/80 GHz solutions from Siklu, our customers have many advantages both commercially and technically: Commercially, we are talking about an unbeatable price-performance ratio for the systems; technically, Siklu develops and produces the systems itself and can offer the best directional radio results on the market thanks to the new "all-silicon technology".
Interference, i.e. interference in the radio signal, is occurring more and more in urban areas, where licence-free 5 GHz connections were previously the first choice. Times have changed a lot, however, as the 5 GHz radio spectrum cannot be used as often as required. So when all channels are full with 5 GHz applications, there is a lot of interference - and this has an impact on bandwidth and availability. The 60 and 70/80 GHz bands are completely different: Siklu's 60 and 70/80 GHz solutions in particular provide much more spectrum bandwidth than all 5 GHz or 6 to 42 GHz frequency bands combined.
The very small aperture angle of the antennas also offers a further advantage, as we can place a large number of systems next to each other in a small space - such as a radio tower. Another advantage is the bandwidths that can be transmitted in the 60 and 70/80 GHz band. We currently see a minimum bandwidth of 500 MBit/s up to 2 GBit/s full duplex transmission bandwidth for most projects. This means that we at LanCologne are optimally prepared for interference-free operation and high bandwidths for the requirements of today and tomorrow.
