Read MoreHide Full Article

Aviat Networks, Inc. (AVNW - Free Report) shares rallied 6.9% in the last trading session to close at $63.73. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 6.5% loss over the past four weeks.

AVNW’s rally is driven by optimism over WTM 4000 microwave and multi-band platform systems deployment win with LTD Broadband, one of several top RDOF (Rural Digital Opportunity Fund) award recipients. Markedly, the company has been striving to rollout high-speed broadband connectivity in the underserved communities of the United States in an effort to bridge the digital gap, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, it is witnessing a healthy momentum for a solid deal in mobile 5G with a U.S.-based Tier 1 operator for microwave transport.
