In addition, the decision to sell our WiMAX business will enable the company to further focus and invest in our core wireless transmission business and position the company for long-term growth. We believe we did very well in meeting our customer commitments and now are seeing increased customer activity," said Chuck Kissner, chairman and CEO, Aviat Networks. "With the cost reductions on target for Q4, and with the introduction of new products, systems and processes, we are prepared to move Aviat Networks forward again."http://www.aviatnetworks.com
