Supplies microwave transport and wireless-access networking products, along with supporting services, to communications service providers and private-network operators. The business grew out of the Harris MCD–Stratex combination and later adopted the Aviat name, linking its present portfolio to a longer wireless-networking lineage.
Wireless transport remains central, while the Redline, NEC Wireless Transport, and 4RF transactions broadened access capabilities. Those additions brought industrial point-to-point and point-to-multipoint equipment, private LTE/5G access, industrial narrowband radios, and private LTE/5G routers. Operations also incorporate acquired customer bases and services; the stated approach depends on integrating these products and applying services and operations across the acquired businesses.
