The benefits of the Siklu EtherHaul-2X00 Series

These solutions are fantastic for a number of reasons; They only require a light licence though OFCOM when used in the UK meaning there will be minimal OPEX expenditure, they are relatively cheap to deploy, they offer fiber like quality of service in terms of availability and throughput and the frequency and narrow beam widths used means you won't suffer from interference from other radios. The only downside to these solutions was that its effective range was around 4Km. Typically if the required link was over 4Km and you wanted fiber like quality offer service you'd have to look at fully licensed frequencies which carry fairly hefty fees. The licence costs for these links can be thousands of pounds per year.

Siklu have bridged the gap. They have an E-band solution that will now provide 1 or 2 Gbps full-duplex connectivity over a distance of up to 7Km or further depending on the environment. They achieve this by using much wider channel widths (up to1250Mhz) than other solutions which enables the link to work at a lower modulation. The modulation can be as low as QPSK which is essentially 4 QAM. This means the link is going to be very robust in compassion to other available solutions. 

Product Benefits
