About Siklu
Siklu was founded with a goal to develop, build and deliver the best mmWave wireless connectivity radios on the planet, bringing high speed Gigabit connectivity to the world.
Founded in 2008, Siklu was acquired by Ceragon Networks in 2023.
Siklu by Ceragon brings to the market affordable gigabit capacity for a variety of applications. We created the first mass-produced millimeter wave radios, which are the most deployed mmWave connectivity solution in the world.
It is a Gigabit world and customers are demanding gigabit everywhere. mmWave wireless systems have been identified as the ideal technology to meet this challenge providing up to 10Gbps. With recent release of our 60GHz advanced Beam Forming technology, Siklu continues to drive the cost/performance ratio for both 5G GTTH and Smart City applications today and tomorrow.

Siklu New Products
Siklu MultiHaul™ TG Node N366 - 60GHz 4-Sector Wireless L2 SDN Mesh Node
MultiHaul™ TG Node N366 - Complete 360-degree coverage in one unit for Terragraph deployments.
The MultiHaul™ TG system marks the release of Siklu’s 3rd generation point to multipoint 60GHz products, with Terragraph certification. The solution consists of Nodes operating over millimetre waves in a redundant mesh topology which connect a suite of Terminal Units (TU). The MultiHaul™ TG family of products brings the advantages of mmWave spectrum - multi-gigabit capacity, immunity to interference and massive amounts of available spectrum to an easy to deploy solution with the addition of L2 SDN mesh, enabled by Siklu’s SmartHaul™ Runner application, for stress-free coverage extension and multi-path reliability. MultiHaul™ TG Node, N366, is the ideal solution for scalable deployments across neighbourhoods and business environments.
High Capacity and Flexibility for Dense Deployments
The MultiHaul™ TG Nodes operate with 4 independent sectors over the millimetrewave spectrum using narrow beams. This confers several advantages including multi-gigabit capacity in dense deployments. With 4 independent high-gain beam-forming antennas, a multitude of network topologies can be realized to optimize coverage, capacity and performance.
Fiber Quality with Wireless Flexibility
Siklu’s millimetre wave radios successfully combine the capacity of fiber with the flexibility, speed of deployment and low TCO of wireless networks. That is what makes them the world’s best-selling millimetre wave radios every year since 2011. They provide rock solid performance, even in very dense networks or under severe weather conditions, in thousands of networks around the globe.
Highly Secure and Physically Immune Beams
The narrow beamwidthconfers several advantages including immunity to interference and network jamming.In contrast to wide-beam wireless systems that need to use multiple strategies to perform in denseareas. Multiple subscribers and services can be connected with complete isolation based on physical port, VLAN ID and/or a Terminal Unit.
Always-On Mission Critical Networks
When you can’t afford to lose a video stream, critical safe city sensor data or any other mission critical data, you need a wireless network that’s as reliable and secure as fiber. With maximal immunity to interference and hacker-proof links with embedded AES encryption, MultiHaul™ TG delivers a network you can count on. An additional layer of reliability is available through the L2 self-organizing (SON) capabilities enabled by SmartHaul™ Runner, enabling automatic reorganization and rerouting around site failures.
MultiHaul™ TG LR Terminal Unit T280 - Long Range Options in Terragraph Deployments
The MultiHaul™ TG system marks the release of Siklu’s 3rd generation point to multipoint 60GHz products, this one with Terragraph certification. The TG network solution consists of Nodes operating over millimeter waves in a redundant mesh topology which also connect to Terminal Units (TU). The T280 is Siklu's long range TG TU, compatible with the N366 in PtMP mode for additional distances to served locations. The T280 can also operate in PtP mode, 2 identical units on each site, for even longer distances. The T280 offers up to 3 ports with both copper and fiber interfaces as well as a PoE out to power a collocated N366 or any other 3rd party device.
Long Distance and High Capacity
The Long Range T280 provides deployment options like no other 60GHz radios, with the inherent capacity of the Terragraph links. A choice of 0.5ft, 1ft or 2ft antenna allows choosing the perfect solution for the most challenging long distance links, while allowing installation on roof tops, or on street furniture with its compact streamlined reflector antenna.
Flexibility for Demanding Applications
The MultiHaul TG LR Terminal Units operate over the millimeter wave spectrum, with a range of reflector antennas. This confers several advantages including multi-gigabit capacity in dense deployments. With 3 ports, RJ-45 up to 5GE or fiber up to 10Gbps, a multitude of service deliveries and interfaces can be realized to meet the need of any demanding application.

Siklu Featured Product
Siklu EtherHaul™-8010FX 10Gbps 70/80GHz radio - High Bandwidth for Demanding Networks
The EH-8010FX delivers 10Gbps Full Duplex throughput for high capacity networks in Metro, Aggregation and Trunking applications.
10Gbps Over Long Distance
The EH-8010FX radio delivers 10Gbps full duplex point-to-point wireless Ethernet connectivity with the longest mmWave reach by means of the highest system gain in the market. Incorporating dozens of Siklu innovations, the EH-8010FX is based on the same platform that has been deployed in tens of thousands of links from the EtherHaul family.
Carrier Grade Features
High throughput and low latency combine to deliver fiber compatible performance. The EH-8010FX incorporates QoSaware adaptive bandwidth coding and modulation for high availability and easy integration with Ethernet switches or MPLS routers in highly resilient topologies.
The EH-8010FX is designed to connect into existing networks with its support for both copper and fiber 10G interfaces allowing service providers and enterprises to extend their copper or fiber networks.
Small Size, Easy to Deploy & Manage
The all-outdoor radio has a small footprint and is light weight which makes site acquisition a breeze. The product comes pre-configured out of the box with no license to download greatly simplifying the time and cost for installation. The intuitive web GUI manages local and remote units to enable fast commissioning and configuration.
Exceptional Value
With its IP67 construction, the EH-8010FX is extremely rugged and designed to last for years in the harshest conditions at a price that yields quick Return-On-Investment (ROI) and minimizes Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The advanced 10Gbps system delivers an unbeatable price per Gb. Its small and light form factor lowers installation costs, increases reliability and reduces site visits.
Massive Spectrum Availability, and High Reuse

FCC Link Registration
In order to process your E-Band (80GHz) Link Registration with FCC, please either follow the link below and complete the form on Siklu website.
Siklu Online FCC Link Registation
ATTENTION: All fields must be filled in accurately as this information becomes part of the FCC Database that protects your Wireless Links and Network Integrity.
Please note: The standard fee for link registration is for typical link parameters and deployments. Additional elements, such as link research, RF analysis, site congestion, international boarders, etc., may result in additional registration fees.

Siklu’s EtherHaul™ mmWave radios operate in the ‘lightly licensed’ 71-76/81-86GHz band (E-band) and require registration with the FCC once installed.
At these frequencies, radio signals attenuate more rapidly with distance than lower frequencies, and due to the shorter wave lengths, the E-band regulations permit the use of smaller antennas to achieve the high directivity and high gain. The immediate consequence of this high directivity, coupled with the high free space loss at these frequencies, is the possibility of a more efficient use of the spectrum. With these highly focused mmwave antennas a greater number of mmwave links can be placed in a given area as compared toless focused antennas using lower frequencies. The net result is higher reuse of the spectrum, and higher density of users, as compared to lower frequencies.
The FCC has adopted a ‘light licensing’ approach for the registration of E-band links. This approach allows online registration with immediate confirmation that a radio link, based on its location and transmission specs, poses no harmful interference to existing registered E-band links.
Once obtained, license for the link is granted for a period of 10 years.
