19 Feb 2016 Siklu Announces Record Annual Sales

Siklu Inc., the global market leader in millimeter-wave radios, announced its share of the total millimeter-wave market grew to 29%. Offering a full range of wireless mmWave radios, Siklu expedites capacity-rich and 5G-ready small cell and macrocell backhaul solutions.

Siklu’s multigigabit solutions are for the 5th consecutive year the most deployed mmWave radios in the world. Company reports significant sales growth of its 5G-ready backhaul radios in 2015.

The increase in demand for Siklu’s 60, 70/80GHz Ethernet solutions mainly stems from urban network density. Wireless carriers are facing a growing capacity crunch as ever more data streams to wireless devices packed ever closer together. This overcrowding creates encumbering backhauling challenges. As a result, mobile and other network operators are in need of multigigabit capacities to maintain near real-time global communications, and connect macrocells, small cells, and other applications, such as business and residential broadband. Siklu’s mmWave radios are today recognized as the most comprehensive urban backhaul offering in the industry, and include Siklu’s innovative ExtendMM™ solution which for the last 2 years has been adopted by customers to enable advanced multiband deployments.

“While the mmWave backhaul market is showing signs of positive momentum, Siklu has been a significant force in the market, helping to drive demand north. This focused persistence has paid off for the company, with Siklu capturing 29% of the total millimeter wave market. Siklu’s streel-level V-Band radio started shipping in 2015 and has seen rapid success in four short quarters. The EH-600T’s out-of-the-box, easy to deploy characteristics, has helped make Siklu a leader in the global 60GHz market.” Emmy Johnson, Founder and Principal Analyst at Sky Light Research, 

Siklu’s industry leadership was achieved through its range of mmWave wireless radios that encompass a wide gamut of distances and capacities, and suit multifarious applications. The small form products enable interference-free, high-density implementations, and deliver reliable fiber-like transmission with ample capacity.

Siklu’s EtherHaul-2200 carrier grade series, introduced last year, delivers 2Gbps full-duplex throughput with diminished latency, consumes less energy, and maintains Siklu’s ground-breaking plate form factor. “The new products capacity-richen Siklu’s product portfolio, facilitate increased reach, and broaden our applications offering, In 2016, the mmWave market is anticipated to witness a surge in demand resulting from the roll out of 4G small cells by cellular operators on their way to 5G.” Emmy Johnson, Founder and Principal Analyst at Sky Light Research. 

Siklu’s EH-600T, the market’s smallest and most advanced small cell gigabit backhaul 60GHz radios, took lead position and scored a record >50% global market share. The palm-sized radio, with its integrated gigabit switch and 8 non-overlapping full-capacity channels is easy to install, and has a field-proven MTBF of >90 years.
