Aviat Networks Introduces First Complete Outdoor Networked Radio

New All-Packet Wireless Transmission Platform for 4G/LTE Backhaul Networks

SANTA CLARA, California, February 8, 2011 - Aviat Networks, Inc. (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.
