Aviat
Networks, Inc., the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, today
announced that it received orders worth over $10 million for a combination of
microwave backhaul equipment and services to support the public safety network
of one of the largest city municipalities in the United States. This win
reinforces Aviat’s position as the most trusted supplier for first responder
microwave systems. A large proportion of the revenue was recorded in the
company’s second fiscal quarter with the balance to be spread over the next two
to three quarters.
The network
supports the city’s police, firefighters and other first responders on a
multi-agency wireless system. Aviat is installing Eclipse IRU 600 and Eclipse
ODU 600 radios to provide seamless migration to IP/MPLS and LTE while
supporting the mission-critical requirements of existing TDM traffic, which
will fully enable interagency communications critical in addressing challenges
during natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other large-scale first-responder
challenges.
In addition to
improving interagency communications, the network will provide infrastructure
capable of supporting the state’s future LTE network and associated
high-bandwidth applications such as video. According to a November 2012 public
safety LTE and broadband market report by research firm Signals and Systems
Telecom (SNS Telecom), mobile video surveillance has a compounded annual growth
rate of 20 percent over the next five years, amounting to an estimated $2.5
billion of global revenues in 2016.
“The public safety LTE infrastructure will need to support the next wave of
in-field crime-fighting tools, such as mobile surveillance video,” say Tony
Ljubicich, vice president of sales, the Americas, Aviat Networks. “This upgrade
of the city’s wireless voice and data microwave backhaul will deliver
LTE-proven bandwidth for video as well as other real-time applications such as
fingerprint matching and identity checks. Moreover, it is set to be leveraged
for integration into the statewide radio system when the time comes.”
