Harris to Showcase the Latest Member of the TRuepoint Family at
CTIA Booth # 2437 NEW ORLEANS, March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading global provider of
wireless equipment and services, today announced the North American
introduction of the TRuepoint(TM) 5000 next-generation microwave
digital radio. The TRuepoint 5000, the core platform of the
revolutionary TRuepoint family of microwave digital radios, leads
the wireless backhaul industry in performance, flexibility and
manageability. Designed specifically to meet the cellular carrier's
need for a single, flexible platform capable of serving a broad
array of applications in a diverse set of markets, the TRuepoint
5000 currently serves as the backbone of Sprint's PCS wireless
network in key U.S. markets. "Cellular carriers know how important
efficient backhaul is to their networks. This is true of carriers
in every region - Europe, Asia, Latin America and North America,"
said Emmy Johnson, principal analyst at SkyLight Research, a
leading wireless analyst firm in Scottsdale, Arizona. "Any backhaul
technology that allows them to scale their networks while
streamlining operations is sure to be welcome. The innovative and
flexible characteristics of software-defined radios, like the
TRuepoint 5000, certainly answer this call and help operators meet
dynamic backhaul requirements." The innovation of TRuepoint lies in
its ability to provide software programmability to serve many
applications, capacities and frequencies using a single platform.
In addition, its modularity minimizes sparing and storage costs. As
a result, TRuepoint enables carriers to dramatically lower
operational costs while being able to deploy services more quickly
and in more regions than ever before. "TRuepoint is more than just
a new product for Harris - it is a breakthrough technology
developed to meet the market demands our carrier customers face
today," said Guy Campbell, president of Harris Microwave
Communications Division. "With its introduction, the TRuepoint 5000
is altering the landscape of the point-to-point wireless market by
enabling carriers to focus more resources on developing their
service portfolios." The TRuepoint 5000's software-selectable
architecture enables seamless switching between PDH and SDH
applications and delivers service from 4 to 180 Mbps at frequencies
ranging from 6 to 38 GHz. In addition, service providers can
completely manage TRuepoint deployments remotely with SNMP-based
management. The TRuepoint 5000 also provides built-in diagnostics
and performance management capabilities. The TRuepoint 5000 is
optimized to work seamlessly with Harris' NetBoss(R) network
management platform, as well as the recently introduced NetBoss EM
element management system. NetBoss provides carriers, enterprises
and public safety organizations with a single point of control to
effectively manage and maintain a full array of microwave,
networking and broadcast products. Organizations can constantly
monitor the status of the overall network and its individual
components, regardless of vendor or protocol. This enables them to
pinpoint even the most minor faults in the system with precise
accuracy through a graphical display, eliminating the need for
expensive site visits and equipment troubleshooting. The TRuepoint
5000 is available now for the U.S. market. Interested parties can
view Harris' TRuepoint 5000 and Constellation(R) microwave digital
radios and the NetBoss network management platform at Harris booth
#2437 during the CTIA Conference and Tradeshow in New Orleans,
March 14-16. About Harris Microwave Communications Division Harris
