MILPITAS, Calif., June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, today announced it has received $4.0 million in follow-on orders from five utility customers in the US Southeast region. Received in the
Company's fiscal 2017 fourth quarter, these orders involve upgrades to communications infrastructure to support the addition of
new substations and power generation facilities. These orders also include the introduction of new high bandwidth applications
such as video and security, while maintaining critical services like grid monitoring and protection.
U.S. utilities depend on Aviat's hybrid, mission-critical radio platform, the IRU 600. Its extra high power (EHP) option
allows utilities to achieve more capacity, higher reliability, smaller antennas, and longer paths. These factors, combined with
even more capacity from recently announced RAC70, makes this platform ideal for the evolution of legacy utility networks to
transport next-generation applications.
"We continue to receive consistent follow-on business from multiple utility customers and our position with both Public Safety
and Domestic Utilities continues to expand," states Michael Pangia, president and CEO, Aviat
Networks. "Based on our offering, customer relationships and overall value proposition, we believe we are well positioned to
continue to increase our share in this market in the coming years."
