Aviat Networks Debuts New Brand at Mobile World Congress 2010

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVNW), the wireless expert in advanced IP network migration, formerly Harris Stratex Networks, makes its MWC debut under its new brand identity February 15-19 in Barcelona, Spain.  The Company's new brand represents a transformation over the past three years from a specialized microwave backhaul equipment supplier to a world-class provider of advanced IP wireless network solutions.  

In addition to the new corporate identity, the Company will also introduce a significant new capability for its market-leading Eclipse™ Packet Node wireless backhaul solution. The addition will provide important new functionality that will be required by operators to support the migration of legacy TDM traffic over to all IP platforms for next-generation wireless IP backhaul.

"Our recent unveiling of the Aviat Networks brand marked a significant milestone in the evolution of our Company and represents our commitment to quality and innovative products, highly individualized services, operational excellence and industry leadership," said Harald Braun, president and CEO of Aviat Networks. "Going forward, Aviat Networks and its best-in-class IP wireless backhaul solutions is uniquely positioned to help prepare mobile operators for the migration to LTE technologies."

The proliferation of new Smartphones and other rich-media enabled wireless devices have resulted in a mobile data demand explosion.  This phenomenon is becoming problematic for mobile operators in the US and Europe, who are scrambling to upgrade existing backhaul networks, bottlenecked by legacy TDM technologies and bandwidth limited copper lines.  Aviat Networks leverages its leadership position in the market with a comprehensive wireless backhaul solution to support all key migration features, providing scalability sufficient to address the need for increased bandwidth, and support the requirements of LTE networks.

From fixed networks to broadband mobility, from TDM to all Ethernet/IP, from public to private, from planning to managed services, from the core to the edge – Aviat Networks is helping operators create, expand and manage the best networks for their markets and their bottom lines. Aviat Networks will be exhibiting in Hall 2, Booth #2F27.  For more information on Mobile World Congress, visit: www.mobileworldcongress.com/.
