Aviat Networks, the expert in wireless transport and access solutions, announced a new 11 GHz indoor microwave radio with the highest transmitter power ever supported in the industry, to allow more capacity, longer links and provide operators with an alternative to deploy long distance links without the potential risk of interference in the 6 GHz band.
High Power) delivers breakthrough transmit power performance which will allow 80% or more of the 90,000 6 GHz links currently in operation in the US to be moved to 11 GHz.
