AVNW, the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, today announced orders for approximately $5 million with a leading electric utility organization in Texas. Aviat will supply its Eclipse hybrid microwave networking platform, IRU 600 EHP and ODU 600 radios and ProVision management software. A multi-year maintenance and support agreement is also included.

"Our ability to offer the most innovative microwave technology together with our long standing expertise in utility networks were key to winning this new business," says Michael Pangia, president and CEO, Aviat Networks.
