Siklu EtherHaul 8000 Series ExtendMM Automatic Failover License

Achieve Unbreakable Multi-Gigabit Connectivity

Unlock carrier-grade 99.999% uptime and extend the range of your network with the Siklu EtherHaul ExtendMM Back-up Link Feature License. This powerful software upgrade for your EtherHaul™ 8000 series ODU (Outdoor Unit) creates a resilient, all-weather, and long-range wireless link by enabling an automatic failover to a secondary radio. Ideal for service providers and enterprises, ExtendMM ensures your critical, high-priority traffic remains online, even when the primary millimeter-wave connection is challenged by severe weather conditions like heavy rain.

Intelligent, Hitless Failover for Maximum Reliability

The ExtendMM feature intelligently combines a primary Siklu EtherHaul millimeter-wave radio with a secondary radio operating on a different frequency (such as 5GHz, 11GHz, or 18GHz). Under normal conditions, your network benefits from the multi-gigabit speeds of the EtherHaul link. When a significant rain event causes the primary link's capacity to drop below a configured threshold, the ExtendMM solution automatically and seamlessly switches high-priority traffic to the secondary backup path in less than 50ms. This hitless transition ensures that latency-sensitive applications like voice and video are uninterrupted. Once the weather passes, the link automatically reverts to its maximum multi-gigabit speed.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Maximize Uptime: Creates a high-availability, dual-link solution that provides near-constant connectivity.
• Extend Network Range: Overcome the typical distance limitations of mmWave, enabling stable multi-gigabit connections up to 6 miles (10km) and beyond.
• Simple Activation: A single click within the EtherHaul management GUI is all it takes to configure and unify the two radios into a single, high-performance link.
• Vendor Agnostic Backup: Works with any third-party wireless point-to-point product that supports Ethernet transparent bridge mode, preserving your existing hardware investments.
• Advanced QoS: Leverages the EtherHaul's traffic prioritization capabilities to ensure that even during a failover event, the most critical data is routed to the secondary link without interruption.
• No Additional Hardware Needed: The powerful, integrated networking engine in the EtherHaul ODU provides all necessary switching capabilities.
