MultiHaul™ TG Overview
3. MultiHaul™ TG Overview
The MultiHaul™ TG family is an advanced solution for fixed wireless delivery of multi-Gigabit services to homes,
businesses and within smart cities Broadband IoT applications. It is complemented by additional Siklu solutions
for network design and operation, the SmartHaul™ suite of SaaS applications and services, together with
EtherHaul™, a series of very high capacity PtP wireless links.
MultiHaul™ TG is the culmination of innovation for L2 SDN mesh carrier-class systems operating in the
uncongested, unlicensed V-band, delivering very high capacity over small to large neighborhoods for a wide range
of applications. The plug and play units are designed for easy installation by a single technician, using a single cable
for power and data.
This section provides a brief overview of the MultiHaul™ TG units.
The MultiHaul™ TG family consists of the following units:
• MultiHaul™ TG N366 - a compact multi-sector unit deployed as a L2 SDN mesh node with built-in self-backhaul.
Nodes can connect to additional N366 nodes to build a resilient wireless backbone across the served area, or to
a network POP via either a fiber connection or a Siklu EtherHaul™ link with up to 10 Gbps FD.
• MultiHaul™ TG T265 - terminal units (TUs) deliver up to 1 GbE wirelessly to served locations. A smart beam-form-
ing antenna provides for easy installation of a high capacity reliable wireless link by a single person, and serves
one to three end-units per location.
N366 Node
Featuring 4 independent 90° sectors for a complete 360° coverage, a single node can be installed on a pole or roof
to serve multiple locations. The node supports up to 15 TUs in each 90° sector when the sector does not self-
backhaul to other nodes, up to a total of 60 TUs per N366. Each sector can also support 1 or 2 self-backhaul links,
reducing the number of TUs that can be supported to 13 or 14 respectively (each backhaul link comes at the
expense of a TU link).

This section describes how to install the MultiHaul™ TG nodes and TUs.
4.1 Preparing the Site
Carefully select and prepare each site to make installation and configuration as simple and trouble-free as possible.
During site selection and preparation, take into account local safety regulations and consider the long-term needs
of both your network and your applications.
4.1.1 Physical and Environmental Requirements
Each site should meet the following requirements:
• There must be a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight between the units.
• MultiHaul™ TG units should be mounted on a fixed, stable, permanent structure. Units can be mounted using
the following methods:
• On reinforced steel mounting poles with the following diameters:
• Node - 1.5" - 12"
• TU - 1.5" - 4"
• Directly on a wall using the AX-MK-WM accessory, ordered separately from Siklu or your reseller.
Do not mount a MultiHaul™ TG unit on a structure that is temporary or easily
moved. Doing so may result in poor service or equipment damage.
Installation and maintenance of the MultiHaul™ TG link should only be done by service
personnel who are properly trained and certified to carry out such activities.
L'installation et l'entretien d’une unité MultiHaul™ TG ne doivent être effectués que par
du personnel de service qui sont formés et accrédités pour mener à bien ces activités.
Minimum safe distance from antenna while radiating is 29.75 cm / 11.7 in (general
public) or 13.3 cm / 5.2 in (occupational) (according to calculation done based on
"Environmental evaluation and exposure limit according to FCC CFR 47part 1, 1.1307,
1.1310; RSS-102, Safety Code 6).
Distance de sécurité minimum de l'antenne rayonnante est 29.75 cm (selon le calcul fait

• The MultiHaul™ TG unit is powered through the PoE input (ETH1). Take into account the power requirements of
the MultiHaul™ TG unit (see Section 3.2 - Technical Specifications and external PD(s) when planning Ethernet
cabling and passive POE Midspan/Injectors.
• PSE Output (PoE Out) is available on MultiHaul™ TG units with more than a single Ethernet port.
• PSE port output voltage is nearly the same as PoE port input voltage. The total cable length from the PoE
injector or PSE device to the last powered device (PD) should not exceed 100 meters (PSE to first unit + first unit
to second unit).
• In order to protect indoor equipment, you must install surge protection circuits on all copper cables on their
entrance to the building.
• Install the MultiHaul™ TG unit in a location where proper electrical outdoor grounding is readily available.
Typically, the grounding connection is attached directly to the mounting pole. If not already present, then
suitable structure-to-earth grounding connections must be created before installation. Ground the unit using
16 AWG diameter (minimum) grounding cable or according to local electrical code.
• PSE output is available only if the unit is powered directly by a power source
such as 48VDC, or a PoE Injector/Midspan.
• One MultiHaul™ TG unit will power a 2nd unit, however that 2nd unit cannot
power a third unit.
• You must also consider proper power-in limitations to avoid damage to the first
or second unit in the chain.
Improper electrical grounding can result in excessive electromagnetic interference or
electrical discharge.
Siklu will not be held responsible for any malfunction or damage if the unit is not
properly grounded.
