Highly-scalable, the EtherHaul products are software-upgradable to support future
Layer 2.5/3 networking and routing capabilities as networks evolve to flat-IP topologies.
The EtherHaul products features advanced adaptive modulation, bandwidth and coding
- allowing operators to maintain, prioritize, and verify QoS in all weather conditions,
while achieving maximum (up to 99.999%) link availability for prioritized services such
as voice signaling and Sync.
Offering easy and low cost all-outdoor installation and a small form factor, the
EtherHaul products are also environmentally-friendly - boasting a small system and
antenna footprint with especially low power consumption.
The EtherHaul systems are High-capacity Gigabit Ethernet backhaul, with advanced
networking capabilities, at the lowest TCO in the industry. EtherHaul enables mobile
operators to profitably and reliably provide data intensive services. Provided by Siklu,
the pioneer in silicon based mm-waves backhaul systems, EtherHaul systems are the
perfect choice for future proof investment.
1.1
Main Features
Siklu’s EtherHaul wireless backhaul radio link operates in the new V-band and 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 Gigabit 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):
All-Outdoor Packet Radio
Operates in the unlicensed 57-64 GHz V-band and light-licensed 71-76/81-86
GHz E-Band
Up to 1 Gbps throughput
Asymmetric capacity configuration
High gain narrow beam-width directional antenna
Low latency
Highest Spectral Efficiency
250 MHz, 500 MHz channel bandwidth
Advanced hitless/errorless Adaptive Bandwidth, Coding and Modulation
(ABCM) for a large dynamic range
Configurable center frequency across the entire band
