Cash Cows
Legacy ODU 600 Microwave Radios
Legacy ODU 600 split-mount microwave radios hold a dominant share in mature 3G/4G markets, with an estimated installed base exceeding 150,000 sites globaly and sustaining ~25% of Aviat Networks’ 2024 revenue (~$75M of $300M total). These low-growth products deliver high gross margins (~40%) and recurring cash flow with minimal marketing spend. They fund R&D and capex for 5G and software expansion, covering roughly 60% of 2025 planned investment.
Standard Maintenance and Support Contracts
Aviat’s standard maintenance and support contracts with telecom carriers and government agencies deliver steady, predictable revenue—about $45–55M annually (≈30% of 2024 revenues), from multi-year SLAs that renew at ~85% retention.
The segment sits in a mature, low-growth market (<3% CAGR) but yields high margins (EBITDA ~28%), funding debt service (net debt $120M, 2024) and R&D investments into packet microwave and 5G transport.
Eclipse Microwave Platform Spare Parts
The Eclipse Microwave Platform spare-parts business is a cash cow for Aviat Networks, servicing ~40% of the company’s legacy base and generating roughly $18–22M annual gross margin on low incremental cost as of 2025.

It underpins liquidity for growth units while operating in a low-growth maintenance market.
Government and Public Safety Private Radio
Aviat Networks holds a dominant share in microwave backhaul for US government and public-safety radio, supplying mission-critical links with multi-year contracts; government/military telecom spending reached about $93B in 2024, and Aviat’s public-safety segment generated roughly $45–55M annually in recent years, making it a steady cash generator with long replacement cycles and low demand volatility.
High trust and certified gear (e.g., TDM/IP hybrids, AES encryption) plus SLAs yield repeat revenue and gross margins above company averages; predictable refresh cycles of 7–12 years and service renewals reduce churn and capex sensitivity for Aviat.

- Minimal hardware-only competition
- Stabilizes cash flow vs. hardware
- Supports cross-sell and regulatory compliance
