Follow on Google News | Siklu Millimeter Wave Radios Integrated into Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR for Small Cell Back HaulAlcatel-Lucent is integrating millimeter wave radios from Siklu into its small cell backhaul equipment in a move to broaden the deployment scenarios its equipment can address.
By: Siklu Operating in the 60 and 80 GHz bands, Siklu’s radios now supplement Alcatel-Lucent’ Through the relationship, Alcatel-Lucent and Siklu will be delivering industry-leading and flexible solutions for full outdoor wireless small cell backhaul that seamlessly connect into Alcatel-Lucent's 9500 MPR wireless macro cell backhaul and long haul applications through end-to-end management by Alcatel-Lucent's 5620 SAM management platform. The 9500 MPR product family is part of the broader award-winning multi-technology Mobile Backhaul solution from Alcatel-Lucent. The growing demand for mobile data everywhere is driving the need for operators to deploy high-capacity, heterogeneous LTE networks. Macro cell sites provide higher throughput and coverage and are augmented by small cells, placed in capacity hotspots and coverage black spots. These smaller radios are located on lampposts, streetlights, wall facades, and other areas where backhaul connectivity is a challenge. Because 60 and 80 GHz millimeter wave frequencies are less susceptible to interference and congestion, reliable connectivity can be delivered even in dense urban areas. A very small form factor is also a key requirement to support deployment on street furniture and to remain immune to pole sway, twist and tilt conditions. Spectrum acquisition in these frequencies is simple and fast, accelerating deployment timetables. Siklu’s EtherHaul millimeter wave radios provide gigabit throughput, giving operators the enhanced backhaul capacity they need for their small cell sites. François Allain, General Manager of Alcatel-Lucent’ Siklu’s CEO, Itzik Ben-Bassat, added that “Alcatel-Lucent is providing operators’ next-generation mobile networks and we are now a key part of their end-to-end solution. With the addition of Siklu’s EtherHaul to their portfolio, Alcatel-Lucent can better extend their high-capacity backhaul offering to dense urban areas and other spectrum-congested areas.” Siklu will be showcasing the EtherHaul gigabit radios at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona March 2-5, in Hall 2, stand 2D50. About Siklu Siklu delivers gigabit capacity millimeter wave wireless backhaul solutions operating in the 60, 70, and 80 GHz bands, ideal for dense, capacity-hungry urban networks. As the most deployed millimeter wave radios in the world, thousands of units are delivering carrier grade performance in varying weather conditions around the world. Siklu’s innovative all-silicon design has dramatically reduced prices and effectively opened the market for ultra-high capacity wireless links. Siklu is currently deploying its next innovation, 60 GHz backhaul that will enable mass deployment of small cells and other street-level networked devices. Learn more at www.siklu.com. End
