Towns and cities of all sizes are providing essential video security and public wi-fi services with Siklu’s advanced mmWave technology. These are “public facing” services that garner a lot of attention from the city’s citizenry. However, keep in mind that these are Gigabit – or multi-Gigabit – capacity networks and there is room for more – such as a city’s day to day operations. For instance, why continue to lease lines from the local carriers when the city can migrate all the network connections to fire and police stations, city hall, libraries, schools and other municipal facilities to a single independent Siklu Gigabit wireless fiber network?

After migrating leased-line services to the new mmWave wireless network, city administrators now have a network that can grow with the city limits expansion – no need to wait for a carrier to lay new fiber optic lines or put up with the lengthy and expensive permitting process and trenching work – which often disrupts vehicular traffic and annoys local residents. Siklu’s solutions are also flexible with point to point, point to multipoint and mesh configuration options.

New fiber will eventually be laid to connect new housing developments, business parks and shopping areas – and Siklu’s mmWave systems have always been a perfect complement to these fiber networks. In addition, with Gigabit wireless fiber infrastructure in place, cities of all sizes can more easily add “smart city” services, such as sensors for water, gas and electrical distribution systems, vehicular and pedestrian traffic monitoring and more. With Siklu, a dedicated, Gigabit speed network connecting municipal buildings is only the beginning.
