Introduction to the EtherHaul System
This chapter provides a brief overview of the EtherHaul product line.
The EtherHaul-5500FD product line delivers high power, carrier-grade wireless point-to-
point multi-gigabit Ethernet services utilizing the light-licensed 71-76GHz and 81-86GHz
E-band spectrum (FDD).
The EtherHaul is based on Siklu’s revolutionary integrated-silicon technology, which
results in a highly reliable, zero footprint, and low-cost radio.
The EH-5500FD brings 5Gbps full duplex throughput for demanding networks in the
metro, aggregation and trunking applications.

Main Features
Siklu’s EtherHaul wireless backhaul radio link operates in the E-band spectrum, which
provides clear technological and economic advantages over the existing lower frequency
bands. Taking advantage of the new spectrum, the EtherHaul enables easy migration to
support Gigabits throughput, enabling operators to enhance bandwidth capacity on a
“pay as you grow” basis. Supporting point-to-point, daisy-chain, ring, and mesh
configurations, the EtherHaul system offers carrier class availability and services.
The following are some of the main features of the EtherHaul (availability of features
depends on platform):
