Siklu takes part in the successful first-of-its-kind pilot project to provide residential broadband service for families with K-12 students in Allendale County
COLUMBIA, SC – May 7, 2021 – Today, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS), in partnership with multiple public and private partners including Siklu, a world leader in 5G, Gigabit-speed fixed wireless network equipment, is announcing the completion of a successful first-of-its-kind pilot project to provide residential broadband service for families with K-12 students in Allendale County and establish multiple public Wi-Fi hubs.
A press conference to discuss the project is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the University of Salkehatchie Commons (465 James Brandt Blvd. Allendale, S.C. 29810), and speakers include U.S. Congressman Jim Clyburn and representatives from the Southern Carolina Regional Alliance, Allendale County Council, the Allendale School District, USC-Salkehatchie, SCETV, and the Office of Regulatory Staff.
Beginning in November 2020, the ORS partnered with SCETV, the South Carolina Department of Education, the University of South Carolina (USC) Salkehatchie, Allendale County School District, the Allendale Hampton Jasper Regional Library, the Town of Allendale, the Southern Carolina Alliance, and Revolution D, Inc., to launch the Allendale Broadband Pilot Project.
The goal of the project was to see how rapidly wireless internet infrastructure could be deployed by using existing state assets to a community that did not have internet access. The project was funded by the ORS using $393,104 of Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act appropriations.
Public Wi-Fi hubs were established at three different locations— Allendale Elementary School, USC Salkehatchie, and the Allendale Hampton Jasper Regional Library – thanks to equipment donated from Siklu and Linksys. Each location was equipped with high-speed Linksys outdoor access points. Direct fiber connections drive the hubs at Allendale Elementary School and USC Salkehatchie. The third hub at the Allendale Hampton Jasper Regional Library is connected to the USC Salkehatchie tower by using Siklu Etherhaul™ equipment (5G, 60GHz mmWave radios).
In addition to public Wi-Fi, Revolution D worked with SCETV to design and deploy a private LTE fixed wireless network or citizens broadband radio service (CBRS). CBRS is a band of radio-frequency spectrum from 3.5GHz to 3.7GHz that was made generally available for commercial deployment in January 2020 by the Federal Communications Commission. The Allendale Broadband Pilot Program is one of the first CBRS deployments in the nation.
Revolution D worked with Palmetto Rural Telephone Cooperative to establish a link from the main fiber network to two SCETV towers located at USC Salkehatchie and at Allendale Elementary School. Dominion Energy South Carolina helped to provide power to the sites, and corporate partners Linksys, Siklu, and Ookla® made significant contributions to the initiative. Local contractors were used for all engineering design and construction activities.
The result of the work was that a residential network was created that now provides internet access to approximately 1,000 homes in the Allendale community. Wireless network speeds will vary depending on each home’s geography, but initial tests have logged maximum download/upload speeds of 78 Mbps/6 Mbps.
In February, the first routers were distributed to 20 eligible families with students in the Allendale County School District. The remainder of the 300 devices purchased for this project will be distributed at no cost to additional residents.
“Providing wireless internet service where there was no access before using existing community assets such as water towers or nearby ETV towers provides a bridge to broadband,” said Jim Stritzinger of the ORS. “We were able to go into rural Allendale County and in 61 days we had 1,000 homes with internet access.”
“That’s tremendously exciting because it’s replicable. If you can do it in rural Allendale County, you can do it anywhere.”
ORS Executive Director Nanette Edwards said the project’s success was the result of dedicated stakeholders.
“This project could never have come to fruition without an incredible amount of willingness on so many people’s parts to do whatever they could to help,” Edwards said. “Everybody involved understood how important it was to this community to bring internet connectivity here as quickly as possible, and everyone gave of themselves and their time to make it a reality.”
As part of the Broadband Infrastructure Program (BIP), the Allendale pilot project helped aid the expansion of broadband infrastructure with emphasized services to rural communities and communities with a high prevalence of COVID-19 or with demographic characteristics consistent with risk factors for COVID-19.
The $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security or “CARES Act” was passed by Congress to help provide relief to the United States economy from the COVID-19 pandemic. The South Carolina General Assembly passed Act 142 authorizing the ORS to expend up to $50 million for broadband initiatives related to COVID-19. Included in this $50 million was funding to expand broadband access through the BIP.
Public Wi-Fi Maximum Download/Upload Speeds: Using Siklu’s EtherHaul™ 614TX and their state-of-the-art mmWave (5G) technology, achieved 300 Mbps symmetric circuit speeds (300M up and down), tripling the capacity of the library.
Residential Network Maximum Download/Upload Speeds: 78 Mbps / 6 Mbps
*The residence or business is eligible to subscribe to services.

“At SCETV, we have a unique set of tools and technology at our disposal. It’s my belief that we should leverage those resources however we can to most benefit the citizens of this state. “This project aligns perfectly with that belief as it utilizes two existing SCETV towers to bring Internet connectivity to a community in need. We’re proud to be a part of this multi-organization, public-private collaboration and look forward to using it as a model for other communities of need across South Carolina.” – Anthony Padgett, SCETV president and CEO
“We are very excited to be a partner in this project and look forward to seeing the benefits first-hand. Internet hotspots such as this one will afford many rural seniors with a wealth of opportunities, ranging from tele-health options to virtual interactions with grandchildren and other loved ones.” – Connie Munn, Director, S.C. Department on Aging
“Our teams are hard at work every day making sure customers get the safe, reliable electricity they count on us to provide. Playing a part in this project with so many others who care about our communities gave us a special opportunity to provide electricity for broadband receivers so students in rural parts of South Carolina like Allendale County can have the digital tools they need to succeed in school. It warms our hearts to put our energy to work by serving children in this way when the need is greater than ever.” – Keller Kissam, president of Dominion Energy South Carolina Electric Operations
“Fast, reliable broadband is critical to business in this competitive, global marketplace. We applaud the efforts of our state agencies in utilizing state resources in partnership with private industry to create the best stewardship of local and state assets. This project demonstrates that high speed broadband access can be expanded quickly and effectively in rural counties, where our citizens, students, institutions and industries can compete globally while enjoying the quality of life that rural South Carolina offers. We look forward to working with Congressman Clyburn and these partners to expand the program throughout our region.” – Danny Black, President and CEO, SouthernCarolina Regional Development Alliance

Siklu recognized for its groundbreaking “Best COVID-19 Communication Solution”, MultiHaul™ Gigabit Wireless.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – December 17, 2020 – Siklu, a global leader in millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for gigabit fixed wireless access, smart city and security networks, today announced it is the recipient of a 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award from American Security Today for its MultiHaul™ Point to Multipoint solutions. The Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards is a premiere U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, highlighting the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today. Siklu’s MultiHaul™ Series was selected for its ability to assist mission-critical organizations to provide reliable Gigabit connectivity rapidly and cost effectively using mmWave fixed wireless access.
Establishing broadband communications in emergency situations can be a challenge, especially if access to fiber is limited as laying down new fiber would be both time and cost prohibitive. A temporary wireless network is the answer and one application is using these networks to connect “pop up” medical facilities. It’s not uncommon for traditional wireless networks to struggle to handle large amounts of data generated not the least of which is generated by cameras, temporary Wi-Fi hotspots, IoT-enabled medical equipment and increased services for first responders. This data “Tsunami” oftentimes results in network that lags, or complete communications failure.
Siklu’s MultiHaul™ differs from other legacy wireless solutions because it leverages narrow beams in the uncongested 60GHz mmWave spectrum, which are virtually immune to heavy Wi-Fi signals interference and network jamming and feature high security as well, standing in contrast to wide-beam legacy wireless systems that need to use multiple coding and frequency hopping strategies to perform reliably in dense areas.
“We are honored to be recognized for our pandemic response achievements in American Security Today’s distinguished 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program for advances in our Gigabit wireless access network solutions,” said said Ronen Ben-Hamou, CEO of Siklu. “With over 250 cities and 100,000 Siklu deployments, this award is a testament to our reliable and interference free Gigabit wireless technology that is ideal for mission critical, security and smart cities wireless deployments that demand secured always-on connectivity with ample capacity.”
“2020 has been a very challenging year for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic however, the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program was again a huge success and many new categories were added including a section for COVID-19 Detection and Innovation,” said Michael Madsen, co-founder and publisher of American Security Today. “In uncertain times like today we don’t know where or what the next crisis or emergency will unfold, however we do know that there will be a critical need for reliable gigabit communication services, and mmWave solutions deliver.”

Siklu Announces Gigabit Wireless Enabled Smart Poles for Smart Cities
David Sumi
VP of Marketing
December 1, 2020
Siklu and Schréder are introducing the first “wireless Smart Pole” ever – combining embedded Gigabit-speed mmWave wireless connectivity into light poles featuring Wi-Fi access points, HD cameras and more for smart city, campus and similar environments.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – December 1, 2020 – Siklu, a global leader in Fixed 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) solutions for Gigabit Wireless Access (GWA), Smart City and security networks, today announced an initiative with Schréder, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of outdoor lighting systems, to create the first-ever “Wireless Smart Pole” – thanks to a new module available with the Schreder Smart Pole: the famous SHUFFLE. The new module will launch officially in 1Q 2021 under the name “SHUFFLE Wireless Backhaul.” This new wireless Smart Pole features all the latest equipment for Smart City services and Gigabit wireless connectivity provided by the Siklu MultiHaul™ line of radios, all built in into a sleek streetlight unit.
The SHUFFLE Smart Pole is constructed of rotatable and interchangeable modules that seamlessly integrate various LED lighting options, security cameras, Wi-Fi Access Points, EV charging sockets, audio speakers and small cells for 4G/5G mobile networks. Today when cities or campuses wish to add these devices to an existing pole, the result is an unsightly “Christmas tree” look with boxes and wires protruding everywhere. In addition, these devices need connectivity — fiber where available, but often wireless. Adding a wireless connectivity device externally can exacerbate the “aesthetics” problem.
The newly announced module on the SHUFFLE solves this problem by integrating all the cameras and APs, as well as the mmWave MultiHaul™, into a sleek and attractive unit measuring approximately between 3 and 7 meters high, depending on what modules are chosen. This release of the SHUFFLE is the world’s first Smart Pole with integrated Gigabit-speed mmWave connectivity, designed with aesthetics that do not intrude on its surroundings.
The MultiHaul™ provides just under 2 Gbps of capacity, operating in the license-free 60GHz band, which is widely supported around the world. With this offering, SHUFFLE smart poles can connect to each other in a daisy chain, or in a point-to-multipoint topology. The latter has one SHUFFLE with a Base Unit that can connect up to eight additional SHUFFLES. With a flexible fiber or copper interface to a POP (fiber Point of Presence), this combined solution makes deployment of next-generation Smart City services cost effective and easier to deploy.
Furthermore, cities and campuses looking to add advanced services do not have to replace every streetlight pole currently installed, as the SHUFFLE’s Wi-Fi and camera capabilities allow them to be installed periodically into an existing streetlight topology. The SHUFFLE is designed to be environmentally-friendly with LED lighting and low overall power consumption. The SHUFFLE also eliminates the possible need for trenching and other street work to connect a smart pole to a fiber Internet connection – which also would reduce installation time.
“We are tremendously excited to continue our leadership in next generation street assets with the launch of the new SHUFFLE wireless Backhaul module together with Siklu. City infrastructure is an ideal vehicle for WiFi Hotspots and built-in cameras offer an unobtrusive security overlay. This new module is a win-win for cities and campuses alike, bringing Gigabit wireless connectivity and helping lower the Civil Works budget needed to otherwise install such a product,” says Cristian Tanase, Smart Pole Program Manager from Schréder.
“Smart Cities require advanced Gigabit connection solutions to tie all the Smart Applications together,” said Ronen Ben-Hamou, CEO of Siklu. “The new SHUFFLE with integrated Gigabit Wireless from Siklu leads the way in meeting this requirement and delivers on ease of deployment in an aesthetically-pleasing form factor.”

The new wireless network was designed by Siklu and deployed within a week to connect campus buildings and open air lecture areas.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – October 29, 2020 – Siklu, a global leader in Fixed 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for Gigabit Wireless Access (GWA), Smart City and security networks, today announced that Bar-Ilan University Smart City Center, Israel, has selected Siklu to deploy a multi-gigabit 5G network for fast internet around the campus – as part of the Center’s vision for using the university campus as a living laboratory for innovative solutions in the field of Smart Cities.
The Bar-Ilan Smart City Center, which cooperates with high-tech companies, 20 local Israeli authorities and a further dozen cities worldwide, recently hosted Israel’s Minister of Communications, Yoaz Handel, who requested a demonstration of the alternatives for deploying an innovative network on campus, such as those implemented by smart cities in Israel and abroad.
In the course of the minister’s visit a discussion was also held on the present need to supply quick communication solutions for setting up open-air lecture areas around the campus according to COVID-19 restrictions. The existing campus Wi-Fi network was unable to deliver the required speed and quality, and with fiber access being limited, additional trenching would have been disruptive, cost prohibitive and too time consuming. The chosen solution is based on mmWave wireless technology, enabling swift installation without compromising on the speed and reliability typical of fiber optic connections.
The new wireless network, designed and deployed by Siklu within a week, comprises nine 5G macro sites providing mesh connectivity between the university buildings as well as coverage for the open-air lecture areas. The result is a practical application of a “green” initiative led by the university, taken while adhering to the restrictions imposed by the corona virus pandemic. The innovative network, developed and manufactured in Israel, provides the Bar-Ilan campus with wireless flexibility and fiber-like quality that enables connection speed ranging from 1Gbps to 10Gbps. It also brings the campus a step closer to becoming a smart campus.
About the Bar-Ilan Smart City Center
The Bar-Ilan Centre for Smart Cities is an ecosystem for smart city development. Scientists, entrepreneurs, municipalities, solution providers and citizens work together to better understand a city’s needs and find appropriate solutions. The university campus acts as a living lab, where researchers and solution providers can test their ideas and solutions and get feedback from the end users, i.e., citizens. Cooperation between scientists and solution providers improves the end results and increases knowledge for all participants. https://biu-smart-city.com/

Pelephone Chooses Siklu mmWave for their Mobile Network Backhaul
David Sumi
VP of Marketing
September 3, 2020
Pelephone has selected Siklu to migrate lower capacity microwave backhaul links to much-higher capacity Gigabit mmWave equipment.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – September 3, 2020 – Siklu, a global leader in Fixed 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for Gigabit Wireless Access (GWA), Smart City and security networks, today announced that Pelephone, the first mobile operator established in Israel, has selected Siklu to migrate lower capacity microwave backhaul links to much-higher capacity Gigabit mmWave equipment.
As the first mobile operator in Israel, Pelephone has been offering services for over 30 years. Starting with AMPs all the way through to today’s 5G NR, Pelephone’s network has changed over time with more and more bits moving about as the access radio technologies evolved. Today Pelephone has over 2 million LTE subscribers, most if not all of whom will move to the much higher bandwidth 5G network.
Similar to many mobile operators around the world, Pelephone had an extensive transmission network of point to point microwave solutions (18, 23GHz) to backhaul their cell sites. While roughly 70% are connected with fiber for backhaul, 30% were using microwave for a total of more than 500 microwave links.
As the Radio Access Network added capacity with the introduction of LTE and the latest 5G NR, the microwave links began running out of capacity needed to connect these cell sites. While range was good with traditional microwave, the capacities topped out at 400Mbps which could only be achieved with advanced technologies. Three years ago the Israel government opened the E Band (70/80GHz) to operators, and Pelephone as a leader and innovator did not wait. E Band radios can support anywhere from 1Gbps full duplex up to 10Gbps full duplex. A massive increase over microwave capacities.
With an initial roll out of 250 E Band links replacing existing microwave systems, Pelephone started with gigabit connections and a roadmap to multi gigabit as 5G is deployed. Not only are the E band radios faster but they end up being cheaper as well. Pelephone decided to go with Siklu for these E Band radios as Siklu has the longest range, carrier class systems backed by Siklu’s industry leading customer support team. Initially Pelephone chose Siklu’s EtherHaul™ 1200 series, a carrier grade 1Gbps mmWave radio. One year later they started deploying the EtherHaul™ 2500, again a carrier grade radio but this time with 2Gbps full duplex capacity. All microwave links under 5km will eventually be replaced with mmWave.
Upgrading these backhaul connections not only provides a much needed capacity boost, but is also more economical from both a CAPex and OPex perspective. License fees for E Band deployments are significantly lower than those for microwave hence the company saves money with every microwave link they replace.
“We have seen the traffic levels on our network experience huge growth with each new cellular technology” said Pelephone’s Transmission Network Senior Director, Yaniv Shahar. “We believe that mmWave, and specifically Siklu mmWave, is a must for our Mobile Backhaul network to support today and tomorrow’s data tidal wave.”
Today Pelephone continues replacing microwave links with Siklu EtherHaul™ products, with an expected 350-400 links total being upgraded. In addition to lower OPex costs from reduced licensee fees, the EtherHaul™ 1200 and 2500 offer an integrated 4 port switch. This small but critical addition means less equipment to be mounted, maintained and integrated. As an innovator, Pelephone will continue to use mmWave as the prime wireless backhaul solution wherever possible.
Future plans include the Siklu 600 series carrier-class V Band (60GHz) solutions as there are no license fees for these radios, reducing OPex even further. The Siklu 600 series are also the smallest carrier grade Gbps radios on the market delivering range and capacity, making site acquisition and installation of upcoming 5G small cells on street furniture straightforward. Following the recent increase in mmWave experience and the massive deployment performed, Pelephone as a leader in mobile communications in Israel is ready.

These radios like all MultiHaul™ products, feature multi-Gigabit capacity, plug & play scalability, patent-pending scanning antennas that auto-align links, and connectivity for up to 8 terminal units at ranges up to 400 meters. Siklu will begin the certification process for other current and future MultiHaul™ products, including the Facebook Terragraph-compliant version – the MultiHaul™ TG, at a later date.
“With Broadband Internet considered a basic service, and unprecedented circumstances demanding increased network capacity, the market for Gigabit wireless access networks is rapidly expanding in Canada. The prospects for V-Band systems look particularly promising,” said Siklu Canadian partner, Trispec Communications, a wholly Canadian owned and operated National distributor, systems integrator, and network solutions provider. “We have seen significant interest in the last few months from end users such as broadband service providers, private companies, security firms and municipalities.”
Siklu previously received ISED approval for its EtherHaul™ product line and currently has multiple deployments in Canada, including the city of Cambridge, Ontario, where EtherHaul™ radios provide Gigabit-speed connectivity for an extensive video security network and public Wi-Fi hotspots.
“We are excited about the ISED certification and the prospects for the Canadian market, which are in line with V-Band growth around the world,” said Ronen Ben-Hamou, CEO of Siklu. “Unlike the congested lower frequencies, the V-Band has plenty of interference-free spectrum for advanced Gigabit-speed applications to close the digital divide, enhance security operations and hasten the implementation of various Smart City services. And the V-Band is unlicensed, making it easier and less expensive to use.”

Connecting Battery Park and Liberty Park to Ellis Island and Liberty Island to enhance safety and security at The Statue of Liberty
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – March 10, 2020 – Siklu, a global leader in Fixed 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for Gigabit Wireless Access, Smart City and security networks announced today that its millimeter wave (mmWave) solutions have been deployed at the Statue of Liberty to provide high speed, secure and interference free connection to the mainland.
Providing security for our national monuments is one of the primary concerns for the National Parks Service. Many of our greatest treasure as a country are often natural environments, or monuments that are located in highly scenic environs. What they have in common is minimal availability of wireline connectivity to support video surveillance and other security systems. This is the situation for the Statue of Liberty located on Liberty Island in the NYC harbor.
There are no high-speed wireline connections between Liberty Island and Manhattan or New Jersey, the two closest areas with fiber availability. Connecting the island across the harbor which has heavy ship traffic and delivering the gigabit speeds needed is a major challenge. Security on the island is supported by a large network of video cameras generating tens if not hundreds of Mbps of traffic. All of which needs to be off-loaded from the island to the mainland fiber network.
When the National Park Service reached out to Total Recall, an experienced and trusted Security Systems Integrator, they knew exactly how to deliver the speed, reliability and security needed for this project. The approach taken by Total Recall, a Convergint Technologies company, was to use mmWave solutions from Siklu Communications. Siklu offers a variety of mmWave solutions with a choice of capacities (1Gbps to 10Gbps Full Duplex) and distances supported. By using mmWave to connect Battery Park and Liberty Park to Ellis Island and ultimately Liberty Island the height requirements for the wireless network were greatly reduced. Due to the narrow pencil beams used in mmWave, the radio connections can avoid ship traffic without being mounted on hundred-foot towers, as well as avoid suffering from reflections off the water.
The frequencies used as well as the narrow beams, also ensures that not only is interference not a concern today, but it will never be an issue for these connections. On one end of this network are an array of Axis HD fixed, PTZ and thermal cameras all connected to the mainland via Siklu mmWave. A Genetec™ Security Center unified security platform is used for monitoring and recording the video surveillance system.
This project was deployed in Q4 of 2019, vastly upgrading the existing system in capacity and moving away from potential interference issues with the existing system. The result is a high speed, secure and interference free connection to the mainland. In addition, with the massive amount of available capacity, the network is designed for future scalability and to support any additional applications that may arise. The net result from this project is exactly what the National Park Service was looking for – enhancing safety and security at one of our most iconic national monuments – The Statue of Liberty.

Millimeter wave system to provide Smart City and public Wi-Fi services and support educational institutions
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA / Barcelona, Spain – November 18, 2019 – Siklu, a global leader in Fixed 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for Gigabit Wireless Access, Smart City and security networks today announced at the Smart City Expo in Barcelona that its millimeter wave (mmWave) core and access network equipment have been deployed in an ongoing project for the city of Jerusalem, which will become one of the largest municipal networks in the world.
Adopting a cost effective multi-service approach, Jerusalem’s new wireless broadband infrastructure, known as a “Gigabit wireless access” (GWA) network, will provide high-speed Internet service in public spaces and municipal buildings and to educational institutions, of which 30 have been connected to date. The network will also connect thousands of security, traffic control and parking management cameras at speeds ranging from hundreds of megabits to 10 Gigabits (10Gbps).
As in other cities around the world, GWA is needed to bring smart city services everywhere in Jerusalem, as fiber optic deployment throughout the city is very limited. A GWA network is a more expedient solution as the addition of new fiber optic lines would involve lengthy and expensive trenching work, vehicular traffic disruption and an overall nuisance for local residents.
“Jerusalem is an ancient city filled with historic sites and careful planning is required to avoid harm to antiquities,” said Eitan Barzilai, the Municipality Head of Technological Development. “Therefore, we looked at a wireless network to speed up the process. In addition, our proof of concept studies showed that a private mmWave based system would offer us more available bandwidth at a lower overall cost, as compared to leasing high-speed lines from a public network operator, for example.”
Therefore, the city decided to build a unified wireless network that would leverage its building and “street furniture” assets to serve as inter-connection points above the ground. The GWA network operates in mmWave bands at 60GHz (V-Band) and 70/80GHZ (E-Band). These frequencies enable what is known in the industry as “wireless fiber,” as they are uncongested, more readily accessible (e.g., as compared to 5GHz) and the available spectrum offers predictable net capacities as high a 10Gbps.
The City selected SMBIT, the leading integrator in Israel for the design, construction, and operation of unified services smart city networks, to coordinate this project.
“Siklu’s mmWave broadband product line is the only solution in the market that has been developed to support the challenges of smart city networks and which complied with the stringent requirements in the project tender,” said Yoav Ludmer, CEO of SMBIT. “Siklu equipment ensures a long-term solution, both in terms of quality and bandwidth, and it complements perfectly the city’s existing fiber infrastructure.”
The GWA current network consists of hundreds of connections in two layers: a core redundant ring offering speeds of 5-10 Gbps with inter-hop ranges of up to 10km, and a street-level access layer ranging from hundreds of Mbps to 2Gbps. The network currently operates via point-to-point connections and will expand soon with a point-to-multipoint configuration after the 60GHz band is opened for use by the Israel Ministry of Communications.
“We thank Mr. Barzilai and SMBIT for the confidence they placed in us to realize this important project. Today more than 200 municipalities around the world use Siklu equipment to plan and operate their own GWA networks for a variety of smart city services and to improve broadband to educational institutions as well,” said Ronen Ben-Hamou, Siklu CEO. “And our Facebook Terragraph announcement last week also illustrates how our progress in 60GHz systems will afford more options for municipal networks.”
Siklu’s solutions will be showcased at Smart City Expo Barcelona 2019, November 19-21, booth #B215.

Siklu and BATS Wireless Announce Successful High Throughput Trials of combined EtherHaul™ 8010FX Radio and OnPoint 5G Antenna Stabilization Solution
San Jose, California – September5, 2019 – Siklu, the global market leader in 5G mmWave wireless network solutions, and BATS Wireless (BATS), the world’s leading innovator of wireless stabilization, optimization and tracking systems today announced the successful testing of BATS’ OnPoint 5G antenna stabilization system with radio partner Siklu’s EtherHaul™ 8010FX, a high-throughput, millimeter wave wireless radio, ideal for 5G backhaul applications. The successful test demonstrates how the OnPoint 5G can help meet or exceed the stability requirements of a high capacity mmWave link.
The OnPoint 5G solution is ideal for applications where thermal venting or excessive wind become a barrier to link placement, or in areas where the infrastructure’s rigidity is affected by environmental changes, such as heat and cold cycles. Due to its precise stabilizing ability, the OnPoint 5G has proven successful in helping Siklu deliver stable and reliable millimeter wave links for critical high capacity backhaul links.
During initial testing, Siklu, in combination with BATS, was able to demonstrate continuous connectivity under adverse conditions, with throughput rates up to 10Gbps Full Duplex. This performance is key due to the limited number optimal backhaul sites in most cities, a critical barrier for the deployment of large-area wireless backhaul networks.
The OnPoint 5G also helps Siklu reduce the time of installation by automating the alignment and fine-tuning process for the link. Where normal alignment procedures can take hours, the OnPoint 5G can have a millimeter wave link aligned and online in a matter of minutes.
“The need for ultra-high throughput solutions has increased with the coming adoption of 5G networks. While sensitive to alignment issues, millimeter wave wireless backhaul is one of the most compelling technologies capable of delivering the capacities needed for these cutting-edge networks. We’re excited to show what our stabilizing systems can do to not only eliminate the effects of wind and sway, but also speed up installation time,” says Phillip Cramer, BATS Wireless’ Executive Vice president of Sales and Marketing. “With the BATS OnPoint 5G, Siklu installers only need to get the system roughly aligned in the area, and the OnPoint 5G system will automatically do the rest.”
We are excited to demonstrate how high capacity mmWave systems can be used in conjunction with the OnPoint 5G system increasing the availability of suitable installation sites in urban and rural deployments,” said Ronen Ben-Hamou, CEO of Siklu. “The performance of the BATS system exceeded and maintained the alignment needed to enable these multi-gigabit wireless connections.”

Ohio Campgrounds Choose Siklu’s PtMP 60GHz Gigabit mmWave Wireless to Deploy WiFi Hotspots in Two of Their Campgrounds
David Sumi
VP of Marketing
August 22, 2019
Siklu announced today that its radios have been chosen by Ohio Campgrounds.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – April 22, 2019 – Siklu, a global leader in Fixed 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology for Gigabit Wireless Access, Smart City and security networks, announced today that its radios have been chosen by Ohio Campgrounds. Choosing Siklu’s PtMP 60GHz Gigabit mmWave wireless as the core technology to deploy Wi-Fi Hotspots in two of their campgrounds and provide each end user 50Mbps under load, an investment that will be paid off in just over 1 ½ summer seasons.
Two campgrounds in Northwestern Ohio has been a popular destination for families for years. Many reserve a campsite for the entire season, while others may rent for a weekend or more. But what they all have in common is the desire to stay connected and for that they need a broadband connection. “Getting away from it all” is not a message kids have ever heard or appreciate and parents are not far behind. After receiving numerous calls from campground renters to solve this issue, the owner of one such campground decided this was a problem that needed to be resolved.
The challenge of course is how to deliver these services to what can be thought of as rural beyond rural. The initial thought was to run a fiber connection to each trailer/camp site. This was quickly deemed untenable just from a cost perspective. No one runs fiber inside a campground, there are no DSLAMs nearby to tap into. Using a cellular plan over a weekend, a week or more will almost certainly put you on the throttling list of most mobile providers. Let alone consider the limited speeds of a few Mbps from a typical mobile network.
In the East Campground there are 200 campsites, while in the West campground there are 60 sites for use. Given the locations and limited amount of wireline infrastructure not only nearby the campgrounds but especially within the campgrounds themselves made a wireless solution an easy decision. There are several wireless systems available that can perform this function, however the 5GHz solutions that were considered just did not have the capacity to serve so many sites without extensive deployments of multiple base stations with all that entails –power and backhaul for every AP or Base Station unit deployed. In addition, if they were going to deploy a wireless network, it should be future proof for increasing end user demands as well as new applications.
Both campgrounds contacted M2X Communications, the local Internet Service Provider in the area to solve the problem. Siklu worked together with M2X Communications and ADTRAN to design the wireless network and T3 Broadband to provide full turnkey installation and turn-up services. The concept adopted was to deploy WiFi Hotspots throughout the campsites allowing campers to use their phones, tablets, PCs just as they would at home. These Access Points based on 802.11ac were capable of delivering 1 Gbps to the end users. But this meant they also needed a high bandwidth backhaul connection to support those speeds.
ADTRAN and T3 worked together and immediately recommended mmWave systems from Siklu as the answer. With a variety of mmWave products in both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint and supporting from 1 to 10Gbps Full Duplex, ADTRAN and T3 knew they could find the right backhaul connection for each AP deployed in Siklu’s broad product solution set. As is typical with many campgrounds, heavy foliage is present. However, with the narrow beams that are an inherent part of mmWave, the design and installation was able to meet the line of sight requirements.
After careful consideration of both cost and performance determined that the Siklu point-to-multipoint system the MultiHaulTM (MH), was the right answer. Detailed site planning identified where the WiFi APs needed to be deployed to provide complete coverage for the entire campground it was determined that 5 MultiHaulTM Base Units and 6 MultiHaulTM Terminal Units were required. Poles for the WiFi and MultiHaulTM radios were installed and the service went live on June 1, 2019. Installing and commissioning the network was a matter of days.
Today campers arrive at their nature retreat, set up the trailer or campsite, and go online just as they would at home. M2X provides a mix of packages, from a 3-day pass, a month long, or an entire season subscription. The network has been designed to give each end user 50Mbps under load, a speed that often surpasses what they have at home. The response has been phenomenal and M2X predicts that the entire investment will be paid off in just over 1½ summer seasons.
With ample capacity measured in Gbps, the network that was installed is not only good for today but has enough capacity to be future proof for increasing end user demands, but for additional applications as well. For example, M2X Communications has been asked to consider adding video security cameras to the network, an application that can require has much as 50Mbps per camera. This can easily be supported with the mmWave wireless network that has been installed.
“At first we were not sure how to bring the speeds people wanted at a cost that made sense. After we reviewed the proposal from T3 we saw how we could not only do this at a cost that worked for us from a business perspective, but at a cost people could afford”. Based on the success of these first two projects, M2X Communications has identified an additional 5 campgrounds in the area, both commercial and state run, that have similar needs. Families on vacation that want to stay connected. This is camping in the 21st century – brought to you in collaboration by Siklu, T3 Broadband and M2X Communications.

C Spire-led consortium launches website on rural broadband access challenge
admin
July 17, 2019
Ridgeland, Miss. (July 17, 2019) by C-Spire: A group of tech firms led by Mississippi-based C Spire are stepping up their efforts to bridge the “digital divide” with the launch today of a new website, publication of a white paper on the rural broadband access problem and continuing research and development of several potentially disruptive service solutions.
The consortium, which also includes Airspan Networks, Microsoft, Nokia and Siklu, was formed earlier this year to test and deploy a variety of broadband technologies and new business models for use by regional fixed and wireless internet service providers, utilities and others to help improve broadband connectivity and adoption in rural areas.
Mississippi, with almost 28 percent of its residents lacking any broadband connectivity and less than 18 percent using broadband, is the primary focus of the group’s work as nearly half of its 3 million residents live in rural areas. The state ranks 46th nationwide in broadband access and 47th in urban population.
C Spire is taking the lead on this effort as part of its broader Tech Movement initiative, which is designed to help move the region forward through improvements in broadband access, workforce development and innovation. Improvements in rural broadband access are a key objective of the initiative.
The website, featuring a white paper on the problem as well as blog updates on consortium activities so far, also will be home to future updates on testing and deployment of various fixed wireless technology solutions, including TV white spaces, massive MIMO using Band 41 LTE spectrum and C Spire’s own 5G internet product.
“Our work is focused on developing technology solutions that can be easily, quickly and affordably implemented to scale to boost broadband adoption and affordability in several rural areas of Mississippi with few choices or no options,” said C Spire Chief Innovation Officer Craig Sparks. “No rural community should be left behind in today’s new digital economy.”
Sparks said the consortium is on track to achieve its goal, which is development of a new playbook on how to close the broadband adoption and affordability gap in rural communities across Mississippi and the rest of the U.S. The group plans to share its preliminary findings this fall with other industry stakeholders. A larger public conference is planned in 2020.
Elements of the rural broadband blueprint include testing technologies, creating new business models, building new automated tools and education and training communities in digital skills. “Hyper-local collaboration and automated toolkits are going to be key factors in developing these easy-to-deploy network technologies,” Sparks added.
The broadband “digital divide” between cities and rural parts of the country is substantial. According to a 2018 Federal Communications Commission [1] report, over 19.4 million rural Americans still lacked basic broadband at the end of 2017 with profound negative social and economic impacts on the nation’s rural communities.
Unfortunately, the problems are even more acute in states like Mississippi where rural residents have limited or no access to basic broadband. A 2017 Mississippi State University Center for Technology Outreach study [2] found that the state’s rural counties lose millions of dollars a year in deferred economic benefits due to lack of availability and slow internet speeds. The report concluded that those same counties will lose billions of dollars over a 15-year period.

Siklu Delivers Public Safety and Public Wifi for the City of Cambridge, Ontario Canada
Shiri Butnaru
Director of Marketing
June 19, 2019
San Jose, California – June 19, 2019 – Siklu, the global market leader in 5G mmWave wireless network solutions, today announced that its radios have been deployed in the City of Cambridge, located roughly 100km West of Toronto in Ontario Canada. Like many municipalities, the city was concerned about crime and the spread of drug use in downtown area. Of particular concern where outdoor venues where people were congregating such as parking lots and empty lots.
The city has fiber connections connecting several municipal buildings and continues to deploy more where it makes economic sense. Fiber is used to connect fire stations to City Hall for example. However, this particular application, outdoor video security, was one that needed more flexibility to accommodate the necessary camera locations. Most parking lots, Intersections and pedestrian walkways do not have a fiber POP nearby. This meant the answer would almost certainly have to be a wireless solution.
The solution to be chosen had several additional requirements. It needed to be flexible when it came to expanding the video security coverage, it had to be secure and it also had to have enough capacity that it could support additional high bandwidth applications, ensuring the City of Cambridge stayed on the leading edge of Smart City Technology. One example could be a deployment of Public Wi-Fi. The wireless network would then need to be able to backhaul gigabit per second public Wi-Fi APs with no additional truck rolls.
The successful bidder on the project was, Alliance Security Systems. Alliance investigated 5GHz solutions as well as 60GHz and determined that only the 60GHz products could meet all the requirements today and tomorrow. The EtherHaul™ 600 point to point 60GHz solution from Siklu had plenty of capacity (from 100Mbps up to 1Gbps software upgradeable), was extremely flexible in deployment (up to 1km range), small in size as they would be deployed on light poles and was inherently immune to interference.
The same could not be said for the 5GHz systems they reviewed as all suffered from the ever increasing Wi-Fi noise floor in 5GHz, and could not offer the capacity the mmWave solution was able to provide let alone support future high bandwidth applications such as Public Wi-Fi backhaul.
Phase one of the program supported ten multi-lens camera deployments, and the network design had 6 1Gbps Siklu V-Band radios collocated at the city Clock Tower. This dense colocation was a result of the very narrow 60GHz radio beams and the abundant spectrum (14GHz) available. Deployment of the Siklu radios was accomplished within a week. Using Axis Communications P3717 multi lens cameras managed by a Genetec Security Center unified security platform. Tom Hackett, Alliance Security Systems stated that “By utilizing the point to point technology in such a way where we co-locate the head end, we end up approaching a cumulative speed of over 10Gbps per second once Phase 2 is commissioned. That’s just an astounding wireless speed in today’s world. The network has been such a success that beyond expansion plans with Cambridge, we are in discussions with other municipalities.”
Since deployment of the initial Phase 1 with ten cameras, the City operates the network providing access to police as requested for specific incidents/investigations. Since the installation of the video security network a car theft ring was apprehended and there has been a noticeable reduction in crime. Phase 2, adding 7 new cameras to be supported by Siklu’s V-Band system 1Gbps EtherHaul™ 600 units that are scheduled to be installed in June of 2019 as soon as the light poles are available. With the flexibility to place cameras where needed additional future expansions are also in discussion. “The network was installed and is delivering in all aspects – high up time and excellent video quality.,” said Trevor McWilliams, Manager of Business Development for the City of Cambridge Ontario Economic Development. “We are confident that the network deployed will operate for many years and be able to support new applications as needed.“

The Town of Gawler, Australia Selects Siklu’s mmWave Wireless Solutions for its Smart City Surveillance Network

FORT LEE, NEW JERSEY – June 4, 2019 – Siklu Inc., the global market leader in mmWave wireless solutions, announced today that its radios have been deployed in the Town of Gawler, a local government area in South Australia. This deployment is providing high capacity wireless data links in support of a new IP networked CCTV system to provide surveillance for the city and public spaces.
The core requirements for the CCTV solution were that it needed to be:
Back-hauled wirelessly, no structured cabling available
Centrally recorded
Cover all existing areas plus several new locations
Be modular and expandable
Can be remotely viewed at the local Police Station
Provide innovation with a focus on “Value Add” and “Future Proofing”
The existing wireless network infrastructure was an aging 802.11a WiFi backhaul. Due to the growth and presence of Sub 6GHz technology in the area utilised by local wireless service providers, local businesses and the council themselves, class license radio spectrum within the 5GHz range was densely populated which resulted in the poor performance of the existing wireless backhaul.
MIMP Connecting Solutions approached local security experts Security and Technology Services to assist in the specification of the CCTV hardware and then, having used the Siklu millimetre wave wireless fibre line of products for gigabit network extensions for over 3 years, designed a robust, reliable, high bandwidth network solution using the Siklu EtherHaul™ EH-600TX 60GHz Point to Point radios as the primary network backhaul.
Operating in the license exempt 60GHz frequency band, the millimetre wave radios ensured interference free connectivity with 99.999% availability, leveraging narrow beams and the massive amount of spectrum available in 60GHz which are immune to the heavy Wi-Fi signals within the Town of Gawler. The last mile cameras then utilize Ruckus Wireless mesh radios for short haul connectivity.
From the start of the deployment, physical network design had to change due to the unavailability of one of the local council key buildings which was being refurbished at the time. This meant that it could not be used for a backhaul repeater as per the original design. Due to the ease of installation and flexible mounting solutions of the EH-600 radios, the design was able to be physically changed with no loss in performance over the network.
Since majority of the existing CCTV Cameras were located within the main street, co-ordination of high access equipment, traffic control and efficiency were key for this installation. MIMP had to ensure that the installation caused minimal disruption to the local traffic flow and businesses. With the ease of installation of the Siklu product line, constant communication, pre-preparation and professional project management, MIMP were able to facilitate the Main Street installation with minimal disruption within a week, during business hours.
Within 10 minutes of the installation going live, the local police were utilizing the solution to review and confirm a local traffic accident that had happened moments prior. The high-quality footage was able to be easily retrieved and remotely viewed with the new high-performance solution.
Even with CCTV as the primary function of the network solution, the Town of Gawler now operate an expandable, high bandwidth, robust network that can be used for multiple services / analytics and is IoT ready for future public services.
“The Town of Gawler had set high expectations for the replacement Main St CCTV system, and both MIMP Connecting Solutions and Security and Technology Services have delivered” stated Rebecca Howard, Team Leader, Property and Procurement Town of Gawler. “From beginning of the project, through the system design, survey and installation phases the project ran smoothly, with regular progress updates from MIMP. The system installed has exceeded the Council’s expectations and provides the local Police functionality never previously available. Since installation, the system has been robust providing consistent footage at high quality. Any minor issues experienced have been addressed quickly and handled remotely by the MIMP and STS Teams.“

At less than fifth the size, the cTU is virtually invisible. This mmWave full gigabit speed radio is the smallest in the industry, roughly the size of a smartphone.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – May 14, 2019 – Siklu, the global market leader in 5G mmWave wireless solutions, announced today the general availability of its new Terminal Unit for its industry-leading PtMP MultiHaul™ series: the MultiHaul™ compact TU (cTU) T201. With the cTU, the customer premise side of the system has been reduced over 85% in total volume when compared to the standard TU, while maintaining the same gigabit performance. A pocket size package only 6.5”x3.1”x1” (165mm x 80mm x 25mm), a light half lb. weight (250gr), together with a selection of colors will blend the cTU into existing surroundings to further reduce the sight lines of deployed cTUs.
The MultiHaul™ cTU is inherently interference-free and secure under any circumstances thanks to a unique combination of narrow pencil beams operating over the uncongested 60GHz frequency spectrum, coupled with embedded AES encryption, exactly the same as the standard TU. Multiple subscribers and services can be connected on the same mmWave wireless gigabit network simultaneously with complete isolation based on physical port, VLAN ID and/or a Terminal Unit.
The cTU smart package is designed for a quick and simple, one-person installation. The integrated Anymount allows for pole or wall attachment, and the installation is completed with a single CAT5e cable into the premise where the cTU gets standard POE power from an Ethernet device. An optional POE injector is included in the package to guarantee power in non-standard installations. The narrow-beam is aligned automatically, and provisioning from the BU is automatic for any Terminal Unit (TU and cTU).
The cTU compact and slim form-factor is available in multiple color options allowing installation everywhere, eliminating costly site preparations and long cable runs. The solution is also supported by Siklu’s SmartHaul™ software management tools for automated network design and planning with Siklu radios.
“With the cTU Siklu has broken new ground, delivering the same gigabit performance as the TU but in a form factor that is dramatically smaller. This product represents the first of several advances Siklu will be introducing over the next 12 months enabling a complete self-install experience for our customers” said Eyal Assa, Siklu’s CEO. “Siklu continues to the deliver the most comprehensive portfolio of end2end mmWave solutions in the market and a rich portfolio of advanced software management apps”.
