The N360 is topology independent and can be deployed in PtMP or a mesh topology with a built-in wireless backhaul. The node can be installed as an enhanced Base Unit in a PtMP topology, with the advantage of only one install required for >90° coverage and the wireless backhaul connection. If the target region is a neighborhood of single family units, where take rates are uncertain, the N360 can be used as a self-organizing (SON) mesh node, adding nodes as the network expands and densifies. The built-in wireless backhaul via other N360 devices or the ability to connect to a network PoP via fiber or a Siklu EtherHaul link with up to 10Gbps FD provide a fit for any topology. On the subscriber side, the N360 delivers a gigabit to either of the currently available Siklu MultiHaul Terminal Units (T200, or the cTU T201). The N360 is supported by Siklu’s advanced SmartHaul tools including WiNDE for network design and SmartHaul EMS for management. It’s focused on reducing the total cost of ownership by adding SON for centralized and automated operations of the meshed nodes. When deployed in a mesh topology, Siklu’s self-organizing protocols, centrally controlled from SmartHaul SON, ensure “light- touch” deployments and on-going optimiza- tions, eliminating service disruptions, said Siklu. Combining the advanced self-organizing central- ized controls with superior automatic beam steering allows installations to be completed within minutes and with minimal skillsets. “Siklu continues to be the leader in mmWave systems, offering the broadest portfolio of PTP (EtherHaul), PtMP (MultiHaul), SaaS tools and now mesh products in the market,” said Eyal Assa, Siklu’s CEO. “When deploying Gigabit connections to customers it is not a one size fits all scenario. At Siklu we understand this, and with the N360 we continue to provide solutions that deliver robust and sustainable ROIs to carriers and smart cities across the globe.” m Visit Siklu at WISPAMERICA booth #225.
