We design, manufacture and sell a range of wireless networking products, solutions
and services to mobile and fixed public network operators, private network operators,
Federal, State and Local government agencies, transportation, energy and utility
companies, public safety agencies and broadcast network operators around the
world. We sell products and services directly to our customers, and also, to
a lesser extent, use agents and resellers.
Our products utilize microwave and millimeter wave technologies to create point
to point wireless links for short, medium and long-distance interconnections.
Our products incorporate Ethernet switching and IP routing capabilities optimized
for a microwave and millimeter wave environment and also for hybrid applications
of microwave and optical fiber transport, to form complete networking solutions.
We provide network management software tools and applications to enable deployment,
monitoring, management and optimization of our systems. We also source, qualify
supply and support third party equipment such as antennas, routers, optical
transmission equipment and other equipment necessary to build and deploy a complete
telecommunications transmission network. We provide a full suite of professional
services for planning, deployment, operations, optimization and maintenance
of our customers’ networks.
Our wireless systems deliver urban, suburban, regional and country-wide communications
links as the primary alternative to fiber optic connections. In dense urban
and suburban areas, short range wireless solutions are faster to deploy and
lower cost per mile than new fiber deployments. In developing nations, fiber
infrastructure is scarce and wireless systems are used for both long and short
distance connections. Wireless systems also have advantages over optical fiber
in areas with rugged terrain, and to provide connections over bodies of water
such as between islands or even oil and gas production platforms.
Our strong product and solutions portfolio is key to building and maintaining
our marquee base of customers. We offer a comprehensive product and solutions
portfolio that meets the needs of service providers and network operators in
every region of the world and addresses a broad range of applications, frequencies,
capacities and network topologies.
Broad product and solution portfolio. We offer a comprehensive suite of wireless
transmission networking systems for microwave and millimeter wave networking
applications. Our solution consists of tailored offerings of our own wireless
products and our own integrated ancillary equipment or that of other manufacturers
and providers of element and network management systems and professional services.
These solutions address a wide range of transmission frequencies, ranging from
2.4 GHz to 90 GHz, and a wide range of transmission capacities, ranging up to
and over 10 Gbps. The major product families included in these solutions are
CTR 8000, WTM 4000 and AviatCloud. Our CTR 8000 platform merges the functionality
of an indoor microwave modem unit and a cell site router into a single integrated
solution, simplifying IP/MPLS deployments and creating a better performing network.
The newest addition to our product portfolio is the WTM 4000, the highest capacity
microwave radio ever produced and purpose built for SDN. We have introduced
a number of important variants to the WTM 4000 platform and will continue to
do so over the next several quarters, expanding addressable market opportunities
and increasing the competitiveness of our entire portfolio. To address the issues
of operational complexity in our customers’ networks, AviatCloud is an
app-based platform to automate and virtualize networks and their operations.
Low total cost of ownership. Our wireless-based solutions are focused on achieving
a low total cost of ownership, including savings on the combined costs of initial
acquisition, installation and ongoing operation and maintenance. Our latest
generation system designs reduce rack space requirements, require less power,
are software-configurable to reduce spare parts requirements, and are simple
to install, operate, upgrade and maintain. Our advanced wireless features can
also enable operators to save on related costs, including spectrum fees and
tower rental fees.
Futureproof network. Our solutions are designed to protect the network operator’s
investment by incorporating software-configurable capacity upgrades and plug-in
modules that provide a smooth migration path to Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS
(multiprotocol label switching) based networking, without the need for costly
equipment substitutions and additions. Our products include key technologies
we believe will be needed by operators for their network evolution to support
new broadband services.
Flexible, easily configurable products. We use flexible architectures with a
high level of software configurable features. This design approach produces
high-performance products with reusable components while at the same time allowing
for a manufacturing strategy with a high degree of flexibility, improved cost
and reduced time-to-market. The software features of our products offer our
customers a greater degree of flexibility in installing, operating and maintaining
their networks.
Comprehensive network management. We offer a range of flexible network management
solutions, from element management to enterprise-wide network management and
service assurance that we can optimize to work with our wireless systems.
Complete professional services. In addition to our product offerings, we provide
network planning and design, site surveys and builds, systems integration, installation,
maintenance, network monitoring, training, customer service and many other professional
services. Our services cover the entire evaluation, purchase, deployment and
operational cycle and enable us to be one of the few complete, turnkey solution
providers in the industry.
