Siklu Announces Industry's First SiGe Based E-band Transceiver for Wireless Backhaul
PETACH-TIKVA, Israel -- Siklu (http://www.siklu.com/) today announced the availability of a 70 GHz SiGe low-cost transceiver for high-speed applications that use the licensed 71 to 76 GHz spectrum. Designed with a high level of integration and based on SiGe technology, Siklu's transceiver is the first of such kind in the industry.
The transceiver is the main building block in a series of technology and concept breakthroughs that will enable a revolution in cost and power for wireless backhaul. "Until now, 70 GHz products have been severely constrained by the high cost of the radios, based on Gallium Arsenide or Indium Phosphide modules. Siklu's integrated transceiver uses Silicon Germanium technology, involving a state-of-the-art process technology, and a novel RF and system design to offer a full suite of high-speed radio links at a fraction of the price of any available radio today," stated Izik Kirshenbaum, Siklu's Co-Founder and CEO. "Given this integration advantage that results in an truly innovative system design, mobile operators can capitalize on the massive bandwidth available in the millimeter wave spectrum in the most cost-efficient way."
Siklu will announce the first application of this transceiver at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in mid-February.
