Aviat's new IRU600 UHP Radio enables
relocation of Mission Critical links from 6 to the 11 GHz band to
address concerns over potential interference
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the expert in wireless transport and
access solutions, today announced a new 11 GHz indoor microwave
radio with the highest transmitter power ever supported in the
industry, to allow more capacity, longer links and provide
operators with an alternative to deploy long distance links without
the potential risk of interference in the 6 GHz band.
Aviat's IRU600 UHP (Ultra-High Power) delivers
breakthrough transmit power performance which will allow 80% or
more of the 90,000 6 GHz links currently in operation in the US to
be moved to 11 GHz. This can be achieved with the same size of
antennas to avoid any additional tower lease costs and maintaining
the required 99.999% availability needed for critical data
traffic.
"We are very excited to introduce our latest radio innovation
that delivers more power in an 11 GHz digital microwave radio than
ever before," said Pete Smith, CEO
of Aviat Networks. "With IRU600 UHP operators now have a compelling
option to ensure the highest network reliability by relocating
mission critical links to the 11 GHz band, all with the lowest
TCO."
Aviat has secured the first customer order for IRU600 UHP from a
midwestern Utility customer, with initial shipments planned to
commence in the second half of 2023.
