MILPITAS, Calif., March 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, today announced the successful completion of IP/MPLS interoperability testing and participation in an interoperability showcase organized by EANTC at MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress in Paris, France.

A variety of MPLS-based services and IP synchronization capabilities were validated between Aviat microwave routers and layer 3 microwave solutions from Ericsson and SIAE Microelettronica, as well as with standalone routers from some of the industry's most prominent router vendors.

"Integrating IP/MPLS into microwave products reduces the number of network devices, lowering the total cost of ownership whilst improving overall performance," stated Ola Gustafsson, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Aviat Networks. "With these tests, Aviat has demonstrated interoperability of key network functions in a third-party lab environment and operators can be confident including Aviat IP/MPLS microwave routers when rolling out multi-vendor IP/MPLS deployments."
