According to Luis Fontecha, Siklu’s South America Business Development Manager, Siklu’s technology has been successfully deployed in the city of Medellin, Colombia, where it has been well received by the Secretariat charged with the upkeep of more than 3,000 security cameras spread around the city.
Siklu, a leading provider of millimeter-wave wireless solutions, has been gaining traction in the field of security applications. The company’s innovative technology provides an alternative, cost-efficient solution for security applications with a scalable network that can grow over time and serve exponentially greater areas.
Mr. Edwin Munoz, ESU General Manager, noted that the company has always been based on science, technology, and innovation. He explained that they found that millimeter waves are the new ‘wireless fiber optics’ that allowed them to deploy in a more agile and efficient manner and transmit large volumes of data. This, in turn, enables them to transform the city of Medellin into the city they have always dreamed of and build the future of the city.
Siklu’s technology has also been praised by Mr. Juan Gabriel Pulgarin, a video-vigilance (SIES-M) camera professional. According to Pulgarin, the city of Medellin has a special typography, which makes the deployment of security cameras and infrastructure quite challenging. However, Siklu’s solution is flexible, scalable, and helps overcome the challenges inherent to the city. Pulgarin noted that this is why they decided to migrate to Siklu.
Moreover, Pulgarin commented on large-scale projects in the city that no longer suffer from ‘spectrum saturation’. He noted the recent stadium communication challenge that his department managed to solve with Siklu, enabling their security camera network to support facial analytics. With up to 10Gbps of available bandwidth, data-hungry applications are no longer a concern.
The positive feedback from users in the city of Medellin is a testament to its effectiveness and reliability. With Siklu’s technology, cities can achieve top-of-the-line security without breaking the bank.
