Aviat Networks manufactures microwave and millimeter-wave wireless networking equipment and provides related professional services. Its products establish point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links to transport data, serving as an alternative to fiber optic cables. Aviat sells to two main customer groups: private network operators and communications service providers. Private network customers include public safety agencies, utilities, energy companies, and government entities that manage dedicated communications networks. Communications service providers, including mobile and internet operators, use Aviat equipment for wireless backhaul to connect cellular base stations to core networks. Aviat's business model combines hardware sales of radios and routers with recurring revenue from network management software and turnkey professional services, including network planning, deployment, and maintenance. Aviat sells primarily through a direct sales force, alongside resellers, OEM partners, and a direct digital store. The company is expanding beyond core microwave backhaul into fixed wireless access for apartment buildings, rural broadband backhaul, utility grid connectivity, and ruggedized cellular routers for public safety vehicles.
