Hoosier Energy selects Aviat Networks for Network Modernization Project

Aviat Networks, Inc., expert in wireless transport and access solutions, today announced that Hoosier Energy, a generation and transmission cooperative in Indiana, recently selected Aviat for the upgrade and modernization of their existing microwave transmission network in a multi-year, multi-phase project.

As a part of the overall project Hoosier will deploy Aviat's new IRU600 UHP 11 GHz indoor microwave radio, which delivers the highest transmitter power ever supported in the industry, to relocate many of their existing 6 GHz links to 11 GHz over concerns of the potential risk of interference.

"We are very excited that we have been selected by Hoosier to upgrade their network with our very latest in ultra-high power technology," said Pete Smith, CEO of Aviat Networks. "With IRU600 UHP Hoosier will be able to ensure the highest network reliability."

Initial shipments planned to commence in the second half of 2023.
