AVNW - Aviat draws multimillion-dollar order from Nextlink Internet for rural broadband

Interstate Internet service provider Nextlink Internet is going with Aviat Networks (AVNW) to extend its fiber backbone for improved rural broadband service. Nextlink placed a multimillion-dollar blanket purchase order to secure Aviat products as they go. It's using the Aviat WTM 4000 microwave and multi-band platform. The provider delivers high-speed connectivity to commercial and residential subscribers in Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. "The future looks bright for improving broadband connectivity to rural America and we believe we are well-positioned in the sector which will benefit from significant government funding including the $9B 5G Fund for Rural America Fund and the $20B Rural Digital Opportunity Fund," says Aviat CEO Peter Smith.
