Hills technology partners and customers now have direct access to Siklu’s Gigabit- speed, end-to-end solutions for Hills market segments, which include secu- rity, smart cities, backhaul and critical infrastructure. Siklu radios and related equipment are currently deployed in some of the most high-security facilities around the world, for temporary events and as part of critical backhaul network infrastruc- ture for broadband access and Wi-Fi services, such as that for the town of Gawler, Australia. Siklu equipment also helps protect critical infrastructures such as power plants and production facilities in the petrochemical sector. “Siklu looks forward to working with Hills to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher bandwidth solutions across Australia,” said Ronen Ben-Hamou, CEO of Siklu. “We are looking forward to the opportunities resulting from this partnership, particularly in the security networks sector, and solving the ‘Gigabit gap’ challenge that customers often face when fiber is unavailable, is too expen- sive or takes too long to deploy.” “The opportunity for Hills to distribute the Siklu portfolio is an exciting one as the products are complementary to our IP networking and surveillance security solutions,” said Carl Jefferys, general manager IT product sales at Hills. m Visit Siklu at WISPAPALOOZA 2021 booth #201 or go to www.siklu.com. WISPTV Offers WISPs Turnkey OTT Solution A fter implementing it on its own platform, WISPTV has built a white-label turnkey over-the-top (OTT) service that allows WISPs to offer live TV, movies and other great content to their subscribers. In less than 24 hours, the company can build out a fully customized platform for WISP businesses that will allow their customers to watch their favorite TV content, and even record live programs on a cloud DVR without taxing existing infrastructure. WISPTV’s OTT content is a great comple- ment to the standard streaming services that current subscribers already are using such as Netflix, Hulu and others. “As a WISP ourselves, we are constantly looking for ways to maximize revenue per user and minimize subscriber churn,” said WISPTV executives. “Today, we want to share an opportunity that we leveraged to maximize RPU, minimize churn and reduce band- width costs by bringing video applications inside our network.” The platform works on all internet connected devices including smart TVs, and an IPTV box can be branded with a WISP’s logo. “The platform allows WISPs to fully control the branding and customer experience for their subscribers in order to provide a truly integrated service extension,” said the company. m
