SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, will demonstrate wireless IP routing, MPLS, traffic engineering and VPN services over any transport on the CTR 8540 microwave router platform at AfricaCom, Nov. 11-13, 2014.
The demo will show the benefits of IP/MPLS in the mobile backhaul network allowing operators to create a single converged service delivery hub for mobile backhaul, fixed line backhaul and multiple enterprise services over a mix of fiber, wireless and copper transport technologies. This converged hub will result in fewer boxes to buy, deploy and maintain thus reducing cost, increasing revenues and drastically reducing provisioning time.
In a Heavy Reading survey completed September 2014, mobile network operators rated IP/MPLS "critical" or "very important" for enterprise services. In addition, 70 percent indicated it "critical" or "very important" that MPLS Layer 3 (L3) services for businesses are delivered from cell sites directly.
"The CTR 8000 platform is a powerful combination of microwave transport, Layer 2 Carrier Ethernet and Layer 3 IP/MPLS routing all in one box," says Ola Gustafsson, Aviat Networks' senior vice president product and solutions portfolio. "Demonstrating mobile backhaul, fixed line backhaul and IP/MPLS-based enterprise services over any transport technology on a converged microwave router is an industry first."
In addition, Aviat will show how the ProVision network management system and Aviat's IP service expertise can speed up deployments and provide SLA guarantees to enterprise customers.
