Partnering for
wireless smart city
applications
Schréder and Siklu are building a strategic partnership to bring innovative
smart city solutions to the market and leverage lighting infrastructure tocreate safer, more resilient and enjoyable urban environments.
Designed by Schréder, SHUFFLE is a connected, modular approach to outdoor hardware
with plug-and-play rotatable modules that contain pre-certified hardware. This
smart lighting column integrates features such as loudspeakers, CCTV cameras, WiFi,intercoms, warning strobes and EV chargers. SHUFFLE is a completely energy-efficient
yet affordable smart city solution that requires very low maintenance.
Through the partnership with Siklu, SHUFFLE becomes more connected than everwith wireless fibre connectivity. Siklu is a leading company in mmWave wirelessconnectivity radios, bringing high-speed gigabit connectivity to the world. Siklu has
unique expertise when it comes to providing field-proven mmWave solutions withcarrier-class performance, the longest range on the market, compact and lightequipment and extensive point-to-multi-point portfolio operating over the 60Ghz band.
Siklu is continuously looking for new opportunities to change people’s lives for thebetter through the magic of wireless fibre communication systems. The collaboration
with Schréder on the SHUFFLE Wireless backhaul enables cities and municipalities tobenefit from a street-level gigabit network.

Say goodbye toheavy-duty
infrastructure
works!
We all need the internet, and fibre optics is one of
the fastest modes of transport for information andtelecommunications. However, installing lightning speed
fibre throughout the city is not that easy and can becost prohibitive.
It requires bulky and expensive infrastructure work. Moreover,with lease lines from private companies, cities are locked in costlypartnerships.
With its Wireless backhaul module, SHUFFLE provides anopportunity for cities and municipalities to take charge of multigigabit networks and not have to wait on private companies.
SHUFFLE enables cities to repurpose the existing lighting
infrastructure to provide fibre-like citywide connectivity. Thereis no need to wait anymore for a carrier to lay new fibre optic
lines or put up with the lengthy and expensive permitting process
and trenching work – which often disrupts traffic and disturbs
residents.
City administrators take advantage of a multi-gigabit networkthat can grow with the city needs, new applications or geographic
expansions. Infrastructure is one of the primary ways that towns
and cities can make themselves more competitive. Build the right
network at the right time, and new residents, jobs and businesses
will come!

Save streetsfrom cluttering
Our streets are becoming more and more overloadedwith cumbersome pieces of technology and hardware.
All might be there for the better, but their physical presence
obstructs the urban landscape and diminishes the overall
experience for people.
According to Gestalt psychologists, people perceive entire patterns
or configurations, not merely individual components. This meansthat they evaluate the visual quality of streetscapes and cities asa whole. Today urban planners are more concerned about thedamage that these objects (commercial signs, communication or
security hardware, etc.) are causing to the urban landscape.
SHUFFLE offers multiple technologies in one eye-pleasing column.
This smart design reduces clutter in public spaces while bringing
an elegant touch to outdoor living spaces.

the first wirelesssmart column
Schréder works with partners to transform ideas
into concrete solutions. We favour cooperation
between companies than competition.
Someone said that innovation is taking two things that exist
and putting them together in a new way. We can’t agree more.
What we offer is greater than the sum of its parts. Through ourcollaboration with Siklu, we designed the first wireless smart
column.
This breakthrough makes SHUFFLE independent fromphysical wiring for lightning-speed connectivity. More thanever, it can support city’s day to day operations.
With gigabit wireless fibre infrastructure in place, cities of all
sizes can easily add and manage smart city applications.

4Speed and reliability
for city services
Using the unlicensed 60GHz V-Band, the SHUFFLE
Wireless backhaul uses pencil-beam auto-aligningantennas, together with high free-space-loss,
to ensure easy deployment and excellent spatial
isolation with interference-free performance.
It provides highly secure connectivity with multi-gigabit
capacity supporting, e.g. high bandwidth video streaming withlow latency and high reliability. All at a low cost and very easy
to install.
In the current SHUFFLE portfolio, the Wireless backhaul
module can be associated with cameras (180° camera
modules, QuadView or PTZ cameras on our bracket speciallydesigned for SHUFFLE) to deploy a wireless HD video
surveillance network. It can also be associated with WLAN
modules and provide a citywide public WiFi coverage.
It is ready to offer additional opportunities for smart city
applications such as air quality and traffic monitoring, smart
parking, gunshot detection, etc.
The SHUFFLE Wireless BackHaul system consists of two typesof modules. A module that serves as an access point (BaseUnit) and another as an end-point station (Terminal Unit). The
Base Unit module connects up to 8 Terminal Unit modules.
Thanks to its versatile modular system, a SHUFFLE canintegrate both a Base Unit and a Terminal Unit.
