The WTM 4000 is the industry’s first microwave router. It is a fully integrated microwave networking solution, delivering a unique combination of high capacity all-packet transport, Carrier Ethernet, IP/MPLS and PWE services and comprehensive mission critical microwave features. The WTM 4000 is purpose-built for microwave, enabling operators to prepare for the all-IP future.

The WTM 4000 Advanced features course teaches students advanced functions of the WTM 4000 platform. Extensive hands-on labs (nearly 50% of the course duration) and case studies offer students with scenarios they will face in real deployments in their networks.

Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep technology expertise and experience in implementation of microwave wireless and IP networks.
The WTM 4000 advanced features course is conducted at the Aviat Training locations or can be arranged at customer sites
