INTRODUCTION
Siklu’s Gigabit Wireless mmWave Systems offer five 9s of Reliability and ample Capacity to Securely Transmit HD Video Streams
Got HD? Many of today’s video security systems feature 4K HD video to help human operators monitor and react better – but also to provide the best possible pictures for the AI and machine learning programs that are used to continuously enhance operations. The transition from analogue to IP and multi-sensor cameras often mounted on rooftops, light poles and other “street furniture,” is driving huge amounts of bandwidth across these networks.
As fibre cannot connect everything, private companies, municipalities, and other public entities need Gigabit speed mmWave wireless connectivity to make it work properly. Learn more about Siklu’s mission-critical mmWave wireless network systems — which offer as much as “Five 9s” of reliability, unparalleled data rates, and highly secure transmissions. We offer a complete solution set of products and support for any security scenario, such as public safety, and surveillance of critical utility infrastructure and parking facilities. Other key benefits include straightforward and speedy installation, compact radios designed with urban aesthetics in mind and convenient power over Ethernet capabilities.
Mobile Public Safety networks are designed to support the city, regional and federal level first responders. But public safety use cases also include video surveillance, Call Boxes and a host of other applications intended to protect and secure the safety of a city’s residents. mmWave systems in the 60 and 70/80 GHz bands are an excellent choice for wireless networks supporting these public safety services. mmWave networks deliver the Gigabits modern networks demand to support the massive increases in the amount of interactive video used by police and fire departments.
Public Safety
Wherever Public Safety Goes, mmWave Wireless Will Be There
The term “Public Safety” conjures up images of firefighters, police, and other emergency services, as the most important purpose of a public safety network is to support this mission-critical personnel and their often life-saving activities. However, public safety also includes emergency call boxes, crowd surveillance, weather monitoring and a host of other functions intended to protect and secure the safety of a city’s residents.
The common thread in all public safety applications is the need for high speed on the order of gigabits/second, reliability, and rapid deployment – potentially in response to a natural disaster or other emergency situations. Siklu Fixed 5G solutions are a perfect fit for these use cases offering multi-gigabit speeds, virtually zero interference now and in the future, and rugged mission-critical design and construction of the radios.
Critical Infrastructure
Enhancing Security with Future-Proof Gigabit Wireless Networks
Siklu’s mmWave systems meet all the “mission critical” criteria needed to protect vital assets such as bridges, railways, ports, utility infrastructure and more as they are secure, reliable, ruggedised and feature Gigabits of capacity and flexible deployment options. mmWave systems are secure. Intercepting a wireless signal is not a trivial task. With mmWave and its narrow beam angles, jamming or tapping into the transmission is almost impossible without detection. Security is boosted with encryption capabilities of 128 or 256 AES, secure user access via SSH and more.
Mission-critical connectivity requires as close to 100% uptime as possible. Siklu radios have “MTBF” (mean time between failures) measured in decades even deployed in the harshest conditions. Radios rated IP-67 for outdoor operation mean that, with Siklu, customers really can “set it and forget it”. 4K full-rate video, thermal cameras, radars, and other sensor systems are used to extend the perimeter protection boundary for dams, power plants and other high-security areas.
These tools require anywhere from 25Mbps to 100Mbps of throughput – with at least a Gigabit preferred. A Gigabit can support the high-quality video needed to support AI and machine learning applications as well. Only mmWave can deliver these Gigabits wirelessly, with enough extra capacity to ensure the solution meets not only today’s needs, but tomorrow’s as well.
With the most extensive portfolio of mmWave systems on the market, Siklu can fit into a wide range of network topologies and requirements – such as all wireless or mixed fibre and wireless. Deployment options include simple 1 km / 1 Gig links, longer range 10 Gig connections, and point-to-multipoint or even mesh configurations.
Education
Getting Top Marks – mmWave for Education and Smart Campus Networks
When applied to campus settings, Gigabit speed mmWave networks provide the best coverage for multiple applications including linking HD security cameras for academic buildings, dormitories, athletic facilities and parking lots and garages. They can also be used of course to improve the distance learning infrastructure, for real-time interactive video classes and more, for local school districts and at the university level. The goal is to have these and a myriad of other applications on one wireless network – creating and supporting a Smart Campus. Siklu Gigabit mmWave seamlessly connects multiple buildings and facilities and devices typically located within an area measuring several square kilometres. The Siklu network also can accommodate the many high-speed Wi-Fi access nodes located throughout the campus – to improve intra-campus connectivity and as a backhaul to the wide area network.
Campus sizes vary widely of course, and the topology of each campus will require a unique network design. Siklu offers a broad selection of products – in terms of capacity and range/link distance — to provide the best solution for each portion of the network. This includes 1Gbps to 10Gbps full duplex point-to-point connections and point-to-multipoint beam steering solutions. In short, only Siklu has the depth and breadth of products for a fully functional, full-coverage mmWave Smart Campus network.
