Israeli wireless connectivity specialist Siklu is to provide the wireless part of a hybrid wireless connectivity network for the city of Bradford, UK as part of an extensive smart city project to integrate multiple information and communication technologies. The project includes providing the wireless connectivity for more than 300 surveillance cameras and two-dozen traffic management devices. The system was installed by solution integrator Net View Systems.

The new Siklu-enabled network connects the 311 Bosch video management system (BVMS) to a mix of 300 surveillance cameras from Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems and 8011 HikVision surveillance cameras. The system transmits data from hundreds of traffic junctions and 26 variable messaging signs that are used for traffic management.

The city is also using Siklu EH-1200 80GHz (E-band) rooftop radios to deliver a backhaul network with 1Gb full duplex capacity and 256-bit AES encryption.
