WiNDE - Wireless Network Design Engine
As networks continue to grow in scope and coverage, Siklu’s comprehensive portfolio of products ensures customers will have the right piece of gear for every point in the network. However, with increasing coverage and product choices, complexity of the network design also ramps up. Siklu’s Wireless Network Design Engine simplifies these design challenges.
The WiNDE takes as input all the locations to be served in a given mmWave network, and using cost and performance as factors automatically recommends some cost effective and robust implementations to choose from. In addition to an optimized network design, the tool creates a Bill of Materials to build the selected design as well as the configuration files to ensure operations as designed.

MASON - Management, Automation and Self-Organizing Network
Siklu’s new SmartHaul MASON provides complete network information at the Network Operator’s fingertips –topology and connectivity, inventory, faults data, performance and more. It is a modular system that operates in cloud or VM environments and streamlines operations by supporting faster troubleshooting via an improved correlation between ports, links, and devices with hierarchical propagation, identifying capacity bottlenecks or availability with user defined KPIs and by the automation of repetitive tasks.
Specifically, SmartHaul MASON includes Siklu’s unique “Runner” subsystem, which is a software-defined network (SDN) controller for Self-Organizing Network (SON) operation of the mmWave network.

Element Management System (EMS)
The SmartHaul™ EMS is a powerful yet easy to use solution enabling customers to configure, monitor, troubleshoot and administer millimeter wave networks large and small. The EMS is equally at ease with small networks of 10’s of links to large scale network with 1,000’s of links. As such it is highly scalable and highly available, from light-touch SaaS service, or a single server configuration all the way up to large distributed and virtualized implementations. Coupled with SNMPv2/3 support toward the radios and a rich modern REST full Northbound API toward higher level manages and Operations Support Systems (OSS), the EMS can act as a standalone management system or be integrated into a larger Operations environment.

Link Budget Calculator (LBC)
Siklu by Ceragon SmartHaul™ Link Budget Calculator is a highly predictive, accurate online cloud based tool that helps predict the performance of a proposed link before installation and site surveys.
Using this powerful yet simple tool customers and System Integrators can plan on paper link performance and generate estimates of availability vs distance.
Benefits:
- Evaluate the expected availability and capacity of a Siklu by Ceragon link by City, Region or coordinates.
- Assist in selecting the best product and antenna fit for your network.
- Generate HTML or PDF SLA documentation with customers.
- Tool utilizes 40 year rain data to simulate real-world conditions.
