“We are excited to be a part of this project and to
help keep the residents of Fort Myers, Fla., safe
and secure,” said Vince Ricco, Business Development Manager, Technology Partner Program, Axis
Communications. “Siklu’s technology is easy to articulate and truly shows the value of technology.”
Siklu’s multi-gigabit, 60GHz radios were selected
for this install due to a number of unique capabilities;
High bandwidth, required by the multiple-stream
cameras, ERPS redundancy to ensure 24/7 video
coverage, and small and aesthetic form, a crucial
factor in city deployments. The millimeter wave radios have proved to be ideal for urban surveillance
projects, especially those requiring multi-hop relaying, as the hops serve to improve the communication between source and destination.
“We were delighted that our solution was chosen to
reliably secure real-time video to help protect Fort
Myers from further violence and criminal activities.
Transmitting on uncongested bands, our low latency, interference-free radios are especially suited to
video surveillance networks and are already instrumental in connecting video to a number of police
departments around the US,” said Zeev Farkash,
VP Global Sales at Siklu.
According to Jonathan Antar, Chief Operating Officer at True Security Design, a consultant for the
project, Siklu’s wireless connectivity is designed to
handle demanding cameras that require more bandwidth outside of the common 6GHz bands. “Siklu’s
products offer a high throughput and a small form
factor, which has its place in the market,” he said.
Siklu delivers multi-gigabit fiber-like wireless connectivity in urban, suburban and rural areas. Operating in the 60, 70/80GHz bands, its millimeter wave
solutions are used by leading integrators, service
providers, municipal authorities and mobile network
operators worldwide. Thousands of carrier grade
units delivering interference-free performance have
been successfully deployed worldwide.
Easily installed on street-fixtures or rooftops, the
price-competitive radios have proved to be ideal for
networks requiring fast and simple deployment of
secure, fiber-like and future-proof connectivity.
