Aviat releases IP/MPLS and Segment Routing on
its All-Outdoor Radio Platform to reduce the need for separate
routers and outdoor cabinets to lower 5-year TCO by up to
$15,000 per site
AUSTIN,
Texas, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in wireless
transport solutions, today announced the availability of new
software that enables integrated IP/MPLS and Segment Routing to be
deployed out to the network edge using Aviat's WTM 4000 all-outdoor
microwave, millimeter-wave and multi-band radio platform.
Avoiding the need for a stand-alone Cell Site Router (CSR), and
in many cases an outdoor equipment cabinet, will result in a
smaller site footprint, lower power consumption, simplified
deployment and maintenance, and reduced site leasing costs – for
typical savings of up to $15,000 per
site over a 5-year period.
Operators will now be able to take advantage of IP/MPLS and
Segment Routing on WTM 4000 to modernize and simplify their access
network topology and provide 10 Gbps connectivity and VPN services
for high value enterprise customers at lowest possible TCO.
This latest update to Aviat's Operating System (AOS) software
extends its leadership in integrated networking for wireless
backhaul and transport. AOS was originally developed to support
IP/MPLS operation on Aviat's CTR 8000 Microwave and Transport
Routers for aggregation, long-haul trunking and pre-aggregation
applications. Aviat added High Availability (HA) routing in 2021 to
support resilient network architectures for critical applications
and high-capacity nodes. Aviat's ProVision Plus SDN-ready
management platform completes the solution with an advanced and
simple to use graphical interface to provision and manage MPLS
services. WTM 4000 with IP/MPLS is interoperable with routers from
other vendors, so can also be deployed at the edge of networks with
existing router infrastructures.
"With this new software release network operators of any type
are now able to deploy Routing services easily and cost-effectively
scale their networks to meet their customer's demands," said
Peter Smith, CEO of Aviat Networks.
"With IP/MPLS and Segment Routing on WTM 4000 we have extended our
promise to deliver solutions that simplify our customer's networks
and lower TCO, all the way to the edge of their network."
