INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BATS Wireless (BATS) and Aviat Networks (NASDAQ: AVNW) have formed a partnership to market stabilized antenna tracking systems. The BATS systems, when coupled with Aviat's industry-leading microwave radios, deliver ultra high-capacity connectivity for both mobile and nomadic vehicles and vessels.
