Mobile Broadband –

Removing the Bandwidth Price Barriers

The Vision…

© All Rights reserved to Siklu Communication Ltd. 2010. Company Confidential 2

Our mission:

to become the mm wave backhaul leader !

In the era of data explosion, capacity in the last mile, is the major

bottleneck of mobile networks and wholesale providers

Siklu offers a “game changing” product that combines low cost with

state of the art performance to enable real 80% cost savings for

network operators

Siklu operates in the mm wave band which will become the fastest

growing segment of the licensed microwave frequency bands for

traditional and 4G small cell backhaul

Ground Breaking last mile Backhaul and Fiber Extension solutions

Unique millimeter wave solution reduces TCO by more than 80%

>$1B addressable market by 2014 - developed and emerging markets

Technology covers small cell solution – micro/pico cells for LTE/4G

Strong Execution and Capital Efficiency

Strong Backup – DFJ-TFV, Evergreen, Argonaut, Qualcomm

Exceptional Execution

<3 Years from inception to revenues

Strong IP, High Entry Barriers (RFIC, Antenna, BaseBand ASIC)

Less than 40 people

Starting Strong and expanding

Bookings > $2M – Including returning customers!!!

Installations, trials & tenders across Europe

Adaptive Bandwidth, Coding & Modulation (ABCM)

EtherHaul implements hitless/errorless adaptive bandwidth, coding and modulation

adjustment to optimize the over-the-air transmission and prevent weather-related fading

from causing traffic on the link to be disrupted

EtherHaul can gain up to 25 dB in link budget by dynamically adapting:

Modulation – 16QAM to QPSK

FEC coding rates – rate 4/5 to rate 1/8

Channel bandwidth – 500 MHz to 125 MHz, 250 MHz to 62.5 MHz

Traffic is dropped according to the QoS priority
