Designing a microwave network is a challenge that few project continuity
network operators can address confidently even with in-
house resources. The biggest concern is finding expert
resources to complete some or all aspects of planning and
network design so that a complete network solution can be
realized effectively and efficiently.

PROVEN SOLUTION, PROVEN RECORD

Aviat Networks’ GNS includes an end-to-end service
portfolio offering for network operators—any small subset of
design and deployment services or a complete selection of
professional and managed services is available for selection.

At the beginning of every project, our in-house team of

transmission and network engineers works alongside
project managers and on-site field engineers to deliver a
complete network design for customer approval.

A final design of the network is documented with an

equipment bill of materials, along with detailed performance
and installation specifications.

Once the proposal is selected and ordered, Aviat Networks

is accountable for the quality of the final network design, as
well as timely completion of network installation and
acceptance.

MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE
The GNS team focuses on understanding the client’s • Engineer the Installation Specification, including
priorities and delivering a custom-tailored solution. -Grounding, lightning and surge protection

There are two levels of management resources, each with • Procurement, including
highly specific skills that can direct resources at the local, -Subcontractor services
global and corporate levels. • Engineering support to complete the project

PROGRAM MANAGERS
Program Managers are senior, experienced managers who
can manage a portfolio of individual projects for a variety of
customers. For larger projects or projects that are
strategically important to a customer, a Program Manager
may be specifically dedicated to just one project. The
Program Managers exercise final approval for all
contractual deliverables; they can marshal resources on a
global and corporate basis to fulfill the requirements of
specific programs and customer needs, including:
• Project updates and milestone achievement
• Status monitoring
• Management of planning, design and project engineering
activities
GLOBAL NETWORK FIELD SERVICES TEAM
The GNS staff at Aviat Networks specializes in various
disciplines to support expert planning and design. They are
ready to provide you with the service levels required.
FIELD SUPERVISORS
Field supervisors are responsible for the on-site supervision
and management of installation and construction activities
provided by Service Partners.
FIELD ENGINEER
Field engineers are responsible for the delivery of technical
and/or operational services on site in support of the
Installation, Integration, Commissioning and Acceptance
specifications and/or requirements.

• Contractual compliance

• Project Scheduling, including:

-Cost Control
-Risk and issue management
-Reporting and progress meetings

• Customer relations

• Service Partner management

• Budget Control

• Resource management

• Issue management, escalation and resolution

PROJECT MANAGERS
Project Managers are responsible for the management of
one project or several smaller unconnected projects. On
larger projects, they may be solely responsible for the
management of specific portions or phases of the project.
Project Managers are responsible for delivering the services
associated with Planning and Design Services necessary to
meet, if not exceed customer expectations. These typically
include the following:

 PLANNING AND DESIGN SERVICES
TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING
Experienced transmission engineers design each microwave
path to meet agreed to “performance criteria”. Overall end-
to-end network performance is also factored in.
Transmission engineers address:
• Site and equipment selection
• Antenna size, type and centerline determination
• Frequency planning, selection and licensing
• Waveguide and coaxial cable
• User requirements, present and future
• Obstruction and reflection analysis
• Propagation and reliability studies
• Site and Path surveys
• Feasibility studies and system design
• Interference studies (spectrum analysis)
• WiMAX RF coverage, planning and optimization
Harris Stratex transmission engineers use proprietary path
analysis tools for transmission studies and also make use of
other tools to generate maps, bills-of-material and
diagrams.
PATH ENGINEERING
A rigorous path study or assessment of the physical
transmission path is necessary to meet the path reliability
requirements and overall network availability.
Aviat Networks’ engineers factor in climate and terrain
influences to ensure optimized radio path performance.
Desktop path studies are performed using topographical
maps and any additional documents available including
overhead photos and past deployment documents.
“Walk the path” are field path surveys that validate the
desktop path study, and also identify potential obstructions
or path characteristics that may be seasonal or temporary,
including deciduous trees, new building construction and
bodies of water or other reflective media.
For WiMAX network design, transmission engineers are
involved in both the specification of the microwave backhaul
component as well as RF coverage planning.

NETWORK ENGINEERING
A complete turn-key WiMAX and microwave transmission
network solution require the expertise of a network engineer
to dimension and configure the various paths and rings so
that traffic flows faultlessly and free of bottlenecks. Duties
include:
• Capacity planning, routing and grooming at DS1, DS3 and
OC-3
• Layer 2 packet routing configurations
• Identify and validate radio equipment and configurations
• Identify and validate OEM equipment such as antennas,
hydrator pumps, battery chargers, L2/L3 switches and
routers.
• Equipment Interoperability and end-to-end QoS
• Traffic route protection
• NMS design and connectivity
• WiMAX traffic engineering
• WiMAX ASN-GW and CSN structure and settings
Completion of any network engineering report will also
include a complete Bill of Materials for pricing, installation
and integration detailing, and sparing.
