Siklu is introducing an extended frequency range model of its industry-leading EH-600 PtP 60GH series: the EH-614TX.

This year both OFCOM in the UK and the FCC in the US have extended the license-exempt V-band spectrum up to 71GHz, for a total of 14GHz. Siklu?s EtherHaul^™ 614TX is designed to take advantage of this expansion and operate over the entire 14GHz band with a single SKU.

Operating in the upper regions of the 60GHz band allows longer distances, as the oxygen absorption effect centered at 62GHz has minimal impact. The EH-614TX will typically reach 50% further operating in the 64 to 71 GHz band, when compared to links deployed in the 57 to 64GHz section. The frequency expansion also allows EH-614TX to tune to a wider choice of frequencies, providing additional spectrum for dense deployments.

This extension of the frequency range for the EH-614TX, and hence extended range, comes in the exact same small form factor with integrated antenna as the widely deployed EH-600 series (16.7x 16.7x 10.2cm, 6.6x 6.6x 4.0in). This allows street level deployments on poles and other fixtures delivering reliable high-speed connectivity for Smart Cities, including
