On the 22nd of February, Siklu introduced the MultiHaul TG small Terminal Unit (TU) “T260”. The T260 is designed for faster and unobtrusive installation on the exteriors of homes, apartment buildings or street “furniture” such as streetlights. Siklu has incorporated two design features that reduce the installation time for this Terminal Unit from hours to less than 30 minutes. First, a T260 within 400m range of the network is merely pointed in the general direction of the antenna and it will connect automatically. And second, Siklu has eliminated the need to ground the T260 electrically. These features save significant time to the installer who can “point and move” to the next installation.
“There can be no doubt that the smaller the TU is, the more options customers have for deployment – and the more likely they are to use it,” said Shimon Hochbaum, AVP Product Management of Siklu. “Typically, in wireless systems, going smaller means sacrificing performance. However, the T260 breaks new ground by delivering a full Gigabit in a form factor that is dramatically impressive on many levels.”
