EXTEND – Multi-gigabit Capacity for Miles

Now even better with Extend18

Delivering cost-effective, multi-gigabit mmWave capacity more than a few miles has been difficult.

Options to date often meant sacrificing “up time” or adding parallel links which resulted in cost increases, additional hardware and added complexity. To address these challenges and deliver multi-gigabit connections up to 6 miles (10km) or more, Siklu introduces Extend[tm].

Extend is a high-capacity and long-range solution that consists of a pair of multi-gigabit EtherHaul[tm]

Kilo radios, enhanced ExtendMM software, a built-in switch and 2-foot dual-band antennas, backed by SmartHaul[tm] Apps (LBC & WiNDE). A pair of third party 5GHz or 18GHz band radios enable the additional range at lower capacity.

These elements can be implemented on an a la carte basis, but when used in unison, they create a powerful package. For example, here’s how to create a 10 Gb link extending 6 miles (10 km) or more with 99.999% availability. Pair a Siklu EtherHaul[tm] Kilo radio with a lower-band radio (for example: 5 or 18 GHz), add the ExtendMM[tm] software license, add a dual-band 2-foot antenna and other accessories and that’s it! With “single click” simplicity, it is now possible to turn an EtherHaul[tm] Kilo product into a long-range link that delivers the capacity your network is demanding.

As a result, Siklu’s ExtendMM[tm] solution delivers a long-range multi-gigabit connection that is both economical and easy to implement.

With the new EtherHaul[tm] Extend18 solution upgrading existing 18GHz microwave to 10Gbps is just a breeze.
