The city of Santa Cruz, Calif. Has activated a millimeter wave gigabit Internet access network built on Siklu radios. The network, which also uses optical fiber trunking supplied by Cruzio, reaches 8,000 homes and businesses throughout Santa Cruz.
Some might wonder how well millimeter wave access networks will work in an often foggy area such as Santa Cruz. With proper planning, propagation is not an issue, Siklu maintains.
The Siklu network is capable of using spectrum in the 60 GHz, 70 GHz and 80 GHz bands, and presently is getting ready to launch gigabit Internet access services in parts of Kansas City, Mo., working with the Urban Neighborhood Initiative (UNI), KC Digital Drive and Next Century Cities.
