What Is Millimeter Wave Technology

Siklu Launches Millimeter Wave Radio Systems in North America

Siklu, a provider of wireless backhaul solutions, announced its entry into the North America market. The company is now offering its low-cost millimeter wave radio systems in the North American market.

Siklu  delivers carrier-grade millimetric wave Gigabit Ethernet radio solutions with better price-performance value. The E-band is suitable for shorter-distance high-bandwidth connections. Siklu’s EtherHaul system will be able to address growing demands of operators and enterprises in urban areas across North America.

“We see a tremendous need for a product such as EtherHaul in North America,” said Ilan Moshe, who is heading the North American activities, in a  statement . “Operators are challenged to provide sufficient backhaul capacity to support mobile broadband applications, and nowhere is this challenge more acute than in congested urban areas.”

Company officials claim Siklu products are available at the industry’s lowest total cost of ownership. As these solutions incorporate on-board networking capabilities, Siklu is suited for mobile backhaul, Carrier Ethernet business services, enterprise and vertical applications.

Siklu’s EtherHaul E-band radio operates in the licensed 71-76/81-86GHz portion of the spectrum. EtherHaul’s all-silicon design enables a price point 80 percent less than competitive systems. Siklu’s systems are installed in operator and enterprise networks across Europe.EtherHaul was launched in the fourth quarter of 2010 in Europe. It will be available in North America in the fourth quarter of this year.

Siklu will also be exhibiting the EtherHaul at the 4G World conference and expo in Chicago in October.

Recently , Siklu Communications announced that  Frost & Sullivan , an international research firm, has presented the company with the New Product Innovation of the Year Award in the Gigabit Ethernet Radios space, for its all-silicon technology.

Raytheon Develops Miniature Antenna To Extend Millimeter Wave ...

Raytheon has developed a miniaturized interrogation antenna capability to extend use of its Cooperative Target ID technology to soldiers and unmanned aircraft to help prevent fratricide.

This effort builds upon an existing Raytheon antenna design and additional enhancements performed in concert with the U.S. Army CERDEC Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD).

The new miniature antenna is approximately the size of an ice cube and weighs only a fraction of an ounce. It capitalizes on proven cooperative millimeter wave technology, which has been certified at technical readiness level seven by the military for use on combat vehicles.

"This new miniaturized antenna is ideal to meet the constrained size and weight requirements posed by individual soldier and UAS (unmanned aircraft system) applications, and it represents a technological breakthrough that can be of immediate benefit to our warfighters," said Glynn Raymer, vice president of Raytheon's Network Centric Systems' Combat Systems.

Raytheon's mini antenna development is the latest enhancement of its Cooperative Target ID technology successfully demonstrated to I2WD as part of the Light Vehicle Demonstration contract.

This technology can be commonly applied to airborne platforms, ground vehicles and dismounted warfighters, providing air-to-ground and ground-to-ground mission capabilities. The technology is designed for ease of integration with surveillance, targeting and soldier systems.

"Raytheon's Cooperative Target ID technology has repeatedly demonstrated its mission effectiveness in locating friendly forces during numerous U.S. government-sponsored ground and airborne field test exercises over the past seven years," explained Raymer. "It is easy to use by soldiers and pilots alike, and the feedback from test personnel has been uniformly positive.
