New Dual-Band Backhaul Antenna Provides 10 Gbps at distances upto 10 km

Siklu, a provider of fixed 5G millimeter wave technology for Gigabit Wireless Access, Smart City and security networks, has announced a new EtherHaul 2-foot (61 cm) dual-band antenna (EH-ANT-2ft-DL5). This new antenna is designed to work seamlessly with Siklu’s ExtendMM feature on the EtherHaul 8010FX, 2500FX and other Siklu E-Band models.

ExtendMM is a Siklu product suite consisting of the new Dual-Band antenna, software for monitoring and provisioning, a built-in switch in the EtherHaul radios, and purpose-built accessories, all of which are integrated with Siklu SmartHaul Apps – such as LBC (Link Budget Calculator) for link planning and WiNDE for network design. This system of hardware and software easily and seamlessly combines a high-capacity EtherHaul link with an inexpensive, unlicensed, low capacity and lower frequency link, such as 5, 11, 18 or 23 GHz. The net result is that customers can have confidence in engineering and extending their EtherHaul links to distances never considered before.

When the new dual-band antenna is combined with ExtendMM, installation is simplified, as there is now a single cable run to the rooftop or tower, as opposed to two cables for two antennas. This approach saves both time and labor costs during installation, as well as recurring payments for hosting fees.

Siklu continues to deliver the broadest portfolio of mmWave hardware and software solutions in the market with new and exciting 5th generation EtherHaul products on the horizon. Siklu’s ExtendMM dual-band solution will be showcased at WISPAPALOOZA 2019, in Las Vegas from 14-18 October.
