SAN JOSE, Calif, Nov. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Siklu's New N366 Network Nodes and T265 Customer Premises Equipment Bring
Cost-effective, Gigabit-speed Wireless Broadband to Homes and Businesses
Siklu [http://www.siklu.com/], a global leader in millimeter wave (mmWave)
technology for gigabit fixed wireless access, smart city and security networks,
today announced it will begin shipping its new N366 & T265 Terragraph-compliant,
gigabit-speed fixed wireless broadband access systems to service providers in the U.S.
and UK. Field trials have also begun and full commercial services are expected to
commence in 1Q 2021.
Terragraph [http://www.terragraph.com/] is a technology developed by Facebook
Connectivity [https://connectivity.fb.com/] to solve the last mile connectivity
challenge and serve under-connected communities around the globe. Terragraph is
an 802.11ay-based, multi-gigabit wireless technology designed to deliver
fiber-like speeds over the air at a significantly lower cost and faster time to
market than that of trenched fiber. The 802.11ay standardization results in
complete end-to-end solutions and promotes volume production of equipment,
which drives down prices.
The 60 GHz band is attractive for this application as it is unlicensed (free
to use) and supported in the vast majority of countries around the world.
Further, it has virtually zero interference from other 60 GHz wireless networks
and plenty of available bandwidth, conditions which enable high-density low
latency multi-gigabit connections.
"Siklu's announcement and other recent developments at Terragraph demonstrate
the viability of a mass market for gigabit fixed wireless broadband access for
both residential and business customers," noted Sue Rudd, Director – Networks
and Service Platforms at Strategy Analytics. "By achieving important economies
of scale and Gigabit-speed connections, Siklu and Terragraph fixed wireless now
offer a flexible high performance alternative to optical and co-ax options such
as FTTH and DOCSIS 3.0 - at a lower cost and with faster deployment."
"We expect 2021 to be a big year for the deployment of cost-effective,
Terragraph-based fixed wireless broadband, and Siklu's announcement today
provides further evidence of that," said Dan Rabinovitsj, vice president for
Facebook Connectivity. "We have worked with Siklu since the early days of
Terragraph, and we are excited to see the progress they have made to
incorporate our technical innovations into the already impressive Siklu
portfolio of high-speed broadband infrastructure."
Siklu's Terragraph product line
[https://www.siklu.com/product/multihaul-series-tg/] represents the company's
third generation of 60 GHz multipoint solutions, known as the MultiHaul(TM)
product line. The N366 is an integrated system that features 360-degree
coverage, the ability to self-organize into a neighborhood L2 SDN
(software-defined network) mesh and just under 16 Gbps of total capacity.
Combined with the first Terminal Units, the T265, network operators are able to
cover entire cities with Siklu's Terragraph solution. Siklu also offers a
complete line of advanced software applications for planning, designing,
deploying, and operating extensive fixed and smart city mmWave networks. More
information about the Siklu MultiHaul Terragraph product family (MH TG) can be
found here [https://go.siklu.com/multihaul-tg-node-n366-datasheet-lp].
"In almost all situations, wireless networks are quicker to deploy than wired
ones. By incorporating Terragraph into our fixed wireless equipment, service
providers can now easily generate profits based on the MH TG fiber quality and
wireless flexibility in a variety of network topologies," said Ronen Ben-Hamou,
CEO of Siklu. "As we have learned over the last several months, broadband is
needed more than ever and MH TG is an effective way to close the digital divide
with gigabit-speed broadband. This release represents the first of a full suite
of Terragraph-based products on our roadmap for 2021."
