AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in wireless
transport solutions, today unveiled MB-XD, the latest enhancement
to its WTM 4800 Multi-Band product line, extending the reach of 10
Gbps links over distances up to 20 km to support 5G and rural
broadband applications.
To achieve comparable performance, competitive multi-band
solutions require up to four times the hardware, making them costly
and impractical for tower deployments, leaving high-cost fiber the
only option. Now with MB-XD, operators can significantly lower
their TCO by up to 90%, when compared to fiber alternatives.
Aviat already offers the industry's only single box multi-band
radio, supporting three channels for up to 10km link distances.
With this announcement, Aviat leverages its single box dual-channel
E-band radio to create a unique multi-band solution for ultra-long
distance applications.
"We expect that wireless solutions will remain key to connecting
the world's macro- and small-cell base stations for years to come,"
said Jimmy Yu, Head of Microwave
Transmission & Mobile Backhaul Market Research at Dell'Oro
Group. "Extending Multi-band radio links over longer distances will
be increasingly important for network operators to avoid the high
costs of fiber and to deliver higher capacities more economically
than other wireless options that rely solely on traditional
microwave bands."
"5G will require mobile operators to support never-before-seen
capacity and link distances," said Peter
Smith, CEO of Aviat Networks. "With our WTM 4800 product
line and MB-XD, we have extended our leadership in this extremely
important market segment. Our Multi-Band with MB-XD is the only
solution that will provide the capacity and the link distances
needed to support 5G and the expansion of rural broadband
networks."
Aviat Multi-Band radios are a compelling alternative to
traditional microwave radios for high-capacity links, and often can
reduce dramatically recurring spectrum fees.
