In today’s world of growing data demands, network operators face increasing pressure to scale their networks. Technologies like AI, remote work, and streaming media are pushing networks to their limits.  

The traditional solution has been to buy more hardware—radios, antennas, transceivers—but this can be costly and complex. Aviat’s WTM 4100 microwave radios and A2C+ technology offer a better solution, allowing you to double your network capacity through a simple software upgrade—no additional hardware needed reducing the cost of network expansion.  

Can I Really Increase Network Capacity Without Buying More Equipment? 

Yes, the fastest and most cost-effective way to increase network capacity without purchasing new hardware is by using Aviat’s A2C+ technology. A2C+ allows you to enable a second RF channel on a single transceiver, effectively doubling your network’s capacity. This is done remotely through a software upgrade, eliminating the need for expensive new equipment or time-consuming installations. A2C+ technology is unique to Aviat, giving operators an efficient way to expand their networks without the usual infrastructure upgrades. 

Aviat’s WTM 4100 radio with patented A2C+ supports 4+0 links with only 2 transceivers instead of 4. Removing the need for 3 dB couplers and improving the system gain by >10 dB which allows you to deploy smaller dishes. *

How Can I Reduce Power Consumption While Expanding Network Capacity? 

The WTM 4100 is designed to reduce power consumption by up to 50% while increasing capacity. By operating two RF channels on a single transceiver, A2C+ significantly reduces the number of radios and antennas required, leading to lower energy consumption. This makes Aviat’s WTM 4100 an ideal solution for networks operating in energy-sensitive areas or remote sites that rely on limited power resources. 

How Can I Ensure My Network Performs Reliably in Harsh Conditions? 

Aviat’s A2C+ technology is engineered to maintain reliability even in challenging environments. When network conditions deteriorate—due to weather or interference—A2C+ automatically adjusts by switching to a single channel with a power boost of up to 7.5 dB. This ensures the network continues to function smoothly, keeping high-priority traffic flowing without interruptions. Aviat’s unique adaptability gives operators peace of mind, knowing their networks are equipped to handle fluctuations in signal quality. 

Can I Scale My Network Without Expensive Upgrades? 

Scaling your network typically requires costly investments in new equipment, but Aviat’s WTM 4100 allows operators to scale their networks incrementally. The WTM 4100 supports multiple configurations—1+0, 2+0, and 4+0—enabling operators to start small and grow as needed. In a 4+0 configuration, the WTM 4100 can provide up to 5 Gbps of capacity, giving operators the flexibility to expand their networks as demand increases, without the need for large, upfront hardware investments. 

Check out the specs, download the datasheet (ANSI, ETSI) to see how the WTM 4100 4+0 with A2C+ technology can help you scale your network. 

Why Should I Choose Aviat for My Network Solutions? 

Aviat is the only company offering A2C+ technology, which allows you to double your capacity without purchasing additional hardware. This unique solution reduces operational costs, increases performance, and ensures reliable service, even in difficult environments. Whether you’re expanding in densely populated urban areas or remote locations, Aviat’s WTM 4100 with A2C+ technology gives you the flexibility to meet today’s network demands without breaking the bank.
