Aviat Networks is proud to announce the international release of the IRU600, the world’s most powerful All-Indoor Microwave Radio, now fully compliant with ETSI standards.

IRU600 does the heavy lifting in your microwave network, supporting ultra-reliable, long-distance rural microwave connectivity with faster and simplified maintenance. This breakthrough all-indoor microwave radio delivers +40 dBm (10W) output power—the highest in the industry for over 30 years—enabling operators to achieve longer links, higher capacity, and lower costs.

With up to 5x more power than alternative indoor solutions, IRU600 allows for 50% smaller and 75% lighter antennas, reducing tower lease costs and avoiding expensive tower upgrades or replacement. Its bulletproof reliability makes it ideal for mission-critical private networks and public safety applications, where resilience and easy maintenance are essential. Since its located indoors, IRU600 can be maintained without the need for tower climbs regardless of the weather conditions, reducing time to repair and removing the need for a specialized climbing crew.

Competing all-indoor radio solutions cannot deliver the compelling combination of power, reliability and compact size. Other radios are either large rack mounted trunking radios designed for 16+0 applications, support significantly less output power, or have single points of failure making them unsuitable for critical applications. Other solutions involve mounting an outdoor radio unit in the rack requiring awkward and space inefficient mechanical mounting.

For over 15 years, IRU600 has been the trusted choice for utilities, public safety, and service providers. Now, operators worldwide can experience its unmatched performance, easy maintenance and reliability.
