Exertis Hammer and global millimetre-wave wireless solutions provider Siklu have agreed a distribution agreement, covering wireless connectivity resellers, data centres, integrators, service providers and OEMs in the UK, Ireland, the Benelux region and Scandinavia.
Siklu offers wireless and quick-to-deploy fibre extension solutions for delivering multi-gigabit connectivity free from 5GHz interference, to enterprises and public-sector organisations. The solutions are used by service providers and system integrators to provide gigabit services, 5G fixed wireless and to support smart city projects. They are easily installed on street-fixtures or rooftops.
As part of the arrangement, Exertis Hammer will carry and distribute Siklu’s millimetre wave wireless solutions to vertical markets. The distributor will be able to supply new and existing customers with the full Siklu product range, which includes radios in the 60GHz and 70/80GHz bands.
Products offered include Siklu’s EtherHaul Hundred Series and EtherHaul Kilo Series that can support deployments with up to 10Gbps throughput over up to 4.3 miles (6.9km), as well as the MultiHaul Series for automatically aligning rapid deployment. “Our new partnership with Siklu extends our existing wireless networking product portfolio even further, enabling us to offer our customers end-to-end multi-gigabit wireless networks focussing on high capacity smart city applications,” said Nick Powling, Exertis Hammer general manager for enterprise components.
Luke O’Kelly, Northern Europe sales director for Siklu, said: “With the ever-increasing demand for true gigabit connectivity, Siklu is committed to expanding access to our millimetre-wave wireless products for our resellers and partners. Leveraging Exertis Hammer’s expertise and reach in these regions will enable Siklu’s continued success.”
Earlier this month, Exertis Hammer extended its distribution of the Tripp Lite data centre power and connectivity solutions to service resellers in Germany and the Nordics. The distributor was already handling the products in the UK market.
