1.2 Functional Description
The EtherHaul is an all-outdoor system comprised of the following functional blocks:
 RFIC: Siklu’s integrated Silicon Germanium (SiGe) transceiver operating at 57-
66GHz (EH-600T), 71-76GHz (EH-1200/TL) or 71-76/81-86GHz (EH-1200F/FX).
 Modem/Baseband ASIC: Siklu’s modem/baseband ASIC includes the modem, FEC
engines, and Synchronous Ethernet support.
 Network Processor: the networking engine is the heart of the high speed
bridge/router function. The engine receives packets from Ethernet interfaces
the modem and CPU. It is responsible for proper forwarding between these all
interfaces.
 Interfaces: The network interface consists of 2-4 integrated 100/1000 Ethernet
ports, depends on the product type.
 Host processor (CPU) the host processor controls the system responsible for the
control plane, and the antenna alignment.
 Antenna: Siklu’s self-designed 1ft innovative antenna, as well as 2ft antenna
option for longer range higher availability.
