Aviat Networks has announced enhanced integrated Ethernet switching capabilities for its Eclipse Packet Node microwave transmission platform to address the rapid growth of mobile broadband data traffic. The enhanced platform was successfully tested by the European Advanced Networking Testing Center in August at the industry’s largest annual Carrier Ethernet interoperability test event and is being demonstrated this week at the Carrier Ethernet World Congress in Warsaw, Poland.
