RFS and Aviat Enable Top Tier Network Expansion Americans’ dependence on high-speed wireless communications continues to escalate with 2/3 of adults now owning smartphones, and more and more consumers moving their digital media libraries to the cloud. People expect the ability to wirelessly transfer files and stream video and high-quality music on mobile devices without a hitch. Only true 4G LTE service can realistically deliver the necessary data speed and capacity to satisfy consumers’ growing appetites for mobile media consumption. For wireless carriers, keeping up with demand requires a steady infusion of infrastructure technology nationwide, even in remote areas where cellular service has historically been inconsistent.
Only true 4G LTE service can deliver the data speed and capacity to satisfy consumers’ growing appetites for mobile media consumption.
Aviat Networks, Inc. was hired by a Tier 1 North American carrier to support its backhaul needs for a nationwide, rural LTE rollout. This comprehensive expansion of the carrier’s 4G LTE network will ultimately bring best-in-class wireless service to 300 million customers throughout the US. An extremely aggressive plan was imposed for installing the network infrastructure, which includes Aviat’s CTR 8540 and CTR 8312 microwave solutions as well as ODU 600 split-mount radios and Aviat’s ProVision network management system – within only a few months. Aviat worked closely with Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) as its partner to supply microwave antennas within the demanding timeframe. The two companies had worked together on many projects before and established a successful and positive relationship.
