AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks,
Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in wireless transport
solutions, today announced that Union Wireless, a
telecommunications service provider and recipient of awards
from the Connect America Fund (CAF II), USDA Re-Connect, and the
FCC Rural Development Opportunity Fund (RDOF), has selected Aviat
all-outdoor WTM radio systems to increase backhaul capacity and
extend its network. Union Wireless currently serves southern
Wyoming and portions of
Colorado, Utah, and Idaho, and is purchasing the Aviat systems
through the Aviat Store.
"While we are excited to have received government grants because
the funds will help with our expansion, we are equally excited
about our partnership with Aviat," said John Woody, Founder and CEO, Union Wireless.
"Aviat radios provide us with the highest system gain and capacity,
helping us to build a robust, cost-effective network. Their support
is also exceptional and available whenever we need it, and buying
online from the Aviat Store helps us plan our installs more
efficiently, reduces our time-to-market, and lowers our costs."
The Aviat Store is the industry's only e-commerce platform and
enables customers to purchase the Aviat systems and accessories
they need when they need them. The result is faster lead times,
order-on-demand capabilities, real-time order tracking, and product
deliveries direct to the market, all while minimizing purchasing
overhead and eliminating stocking and other expenses.
Aviat radios lead the industry in system gain and are the
industry's first to provide multi-band functionality (microwave and
millimeter wave) in a single box operating over a single antenna,
significantly lowering customers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as
compared to alternative solutions that require multiple radio
units.
"For residents and businesses in rural areas, access to high
speed broadband is the gateway to education, telehealth,
entertainment, and economic growth," said Peter Smith, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Aviat Networks. "Our suite of industry-leading systems,
software services, and the Aviat Store uniquely position us as a
preferred supplier to service providers like Union Wireless. We are
