Siklu is leading the way in innovative, cost efficient high-speed wireless network roll-outs

As user demand for mobile data services increases exponentially, TDM-based microwave systems are becoming inefficient for transporting packet-based traffic. Network operators and telecommunications providers are looking to migrate to native packet wireless bridges that offer superior bursty traffic support and significantly better bandwidth efficiency. Operators are constantly grappling with the need for more and more bandwidth and are turning to new frequency spectrum to lower their wireless backhaul costs.

A point to point-point topology wirelessly connects two locations together allowing them to share the same network resources. These point-to-point networks are used in wireless internet service providers (WISP), large corporate campuses, distribution facilities, school districts, and public safety applications. Here are 5 reasons why E band wireless bridges are being embraced by leading-edge operators across the globe to help future-proof their high-speed networks without the need for metro fiber cabling.

Although less expensive than their Enterprise counterparts, can your wireless network really afford them?

The rapid growth of mobile devices within the enterprise has introduced a new dynamic into the enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) market—especially in the small-to-medium enterprise (SME) market. The phenomenon of BYOD (bring your own device) has put unparalleled demand on the wireless infrastructure and the IT managers that are responsible for managing them. Whether users are relying on their own device or using a device issued by the company, they are all needing, and demanding, reliable wireless connectivity for business-critical applications.

What the Boston Bombing taught us about the future of video surveillance

May 5, 2013Articles

Thousands of video sources will require sophisticated video management software to weed through the data.

If we have learned anything from national tragedies over the last several years, we learned that Americans will pitch in anything they can to help, with whatever is needed. With last week’s Boston Marathon bombing, the authorities needed help from citizens, once again. They needed videos—from anyone—to track down the suspects and their movements before the bombing. What started as the average spectator filming for posterity turned in to thousands of videos to cull through to track down the nation’s “most wanted”. Law enforcement officials incurred terabytes of photos and videos related to the Boston Marathon bombing. The sleuthing that eventually identified the two suspects, likely depended on some newer technology that helps human analysts with the time-consuming job of looking through all that camera footage. Without computer help, it would take a person years to watch all the footage end to end.
