Aviat Networks Inc reported a revenue decline of 5.7% year-over-year for F2Q, with North American revenue falling by 8.7% and international revenue decreasing by 2.8%. The company's gross margins decreased by 90 basis points sequentially to 32.9%, primarily attributed to an unfavorable product mix showing higher hardware sales relative to software. Additionally, ongoing supply chain constraints, particularly chip shortages affecting various industries, pose risks to the company’s future revenue growth.
