SANTA CLARA, California,
February 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Aviat Networks, Inc. (http://www.aviatnetworks.com) (Nasdaq: AVNW),
a leader in wireless transmission solutions, today introduced the
Aviat WTM 3000 outdoor networked radio, a new class of product for
wireless transmission applications. For the first time in a single
radio, the WTM 3000 combines full IP/Ethernet aggregation and
switching, along with the very latest in advanced radio
transmission features to maximize frequency efficiency and
throughput. The WTM 3000 will debut at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Spain, Feb. 14-17, 2011.
The WTM 3000 is a fully functional Carrier Ethernet transport
node in a true zero-footprint package. Unlike other "all-outdoor"
packet radios that require an indoor unit or a separate
switch/router to provide important networking features and advanced
radio functionality, such as Adaptive Modulation, the WTM 3000 for
the first time includes all advanced radio, modem and Ethernet
networking functions all in a compact, environmentally hardened
outdoor unit.
WTM 3000 represents a breakthrough in converged networking and
transmission solutions. Incorporating the latest in carrier-class
Ethernet switch technology and three Gigabit Ethernet ports, it
supports nodal functions with aggregation, Carrier Ethernet Quality
of Service (QoS) controls, Ethernet Operations, Administration and
Maintenance (OAM) and IP/MPLS awareness. The WTM 3000 also provides
superior radio transmission features, such as 256QAM Adaptive
Coding and Modulation, excellent RF system gain performance, and
support for link capacity-doubling, through co-channel operation
with XPIC.
The WTM 3000 is designed to support the widest frequency range
of any comparable solution in the industry, spanning licensed
frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz-all with a common, fully outdoor
architecture. This solution can operate as a standalone device for
Carrier Ethernet/IP transmission wireless connections or extend the
Aviat Packet Node platform for all-IP and zero-footprint
applications. With standardized Gigabit Ethernet and Power over
Ethernet (PoE) interfaces, the WTM 3000 can also be used in
conjunction with third-party Ethernet switches and cell-site
gateways.
"The Aviat WTM 3000 outdoor networked radio represents the very
latest in IP wireless transmission," says Shaun McFall, chief marketing officer and senior
vice president of Aviat Networks. "The WTM 3000 is ideal for
operators who are expanding capacity and coverage by deploying new
compact 4G base stations, where a zero-footprint all-packet
backhaul solution is required. In conjunction with our latest
Packet Node solutions WTM 3000 enables rapid expansion of the
backhaul network."
Aviat Networks will be displaying the WTM 3000 at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, courtyard
pavilion CY08.
