PR Newswire (US)
New Hampshire Division of Forest and Lands Increases Reliability
and Coverage With Harris' TRuepoint(TM) and Intraplex(R) Access
Servers CINCINNATI, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS) announced today its collaboration with
Wright Communications for the sale and installation of Harris'
TRuepoint(TM) point-to-point digital communications platform and
the Intraplex(R) Access Server for T-1-based multiplexing. The
system utilizes collective expertise from Harris' Microwave
Communications and Broadcast Communications divisions, and provides
a single- vendor solution that addresses the New Hampshire Division
of Forest and Lands' (DFL) voice and data transmission needs. As
part of an upgrade from the DFL's current RF communications
technology, the Harris system interfaces with the state's existing
microwave system. New Hampshire DFL controls 200,000 acres of
state-owned land. Thirteen mountaintop repeaters will link local
fire fighters, police officers and park rangers to provide a highly
reliable voice and data network. Intraplex(R) will enable DFL
dispatch to utilize the bandwidth of four T-1 lines and synchronize
operations with the State's police headquarters. The TRuepoint(TM)
platform will allow access to the existing statewide microwave
network, enabling DFL dispatchers to better pinpoint the location
of each field unit, resulting in more efficient emergency response
and increased ranger safety. "The system that Harris is providing
to the DFL exemplifies the progressive tactical support and
communications infrastructure that we frequently deploy," said Jim
Denny, vice president and general manager of Harris Broadcast
Communications' Networking Solutions business unit. "The benefits
of the new system will be noticeable in both daily communications
and during a crisis when the mobilization of emergency response is
most critical." "Harris' comprehensive offering will significantly
extend the value and capabilities of New Hampshire's DFL
communication network," said Alan Topliff, owner of Wright
Communications, Inc. "With this sale, Harris Corporation confirms
its reputation as a one-stop provider of mission-critical
communications technology and its commitment to world-class service
and support." TRuepoint's flexible and scalable platform allows for
increased bandwidth needs to be met within the DFL network while
keeping costs low. TRuepoint(TM) provides state and local agencies
with a system that meets current requirements and then easily
adapts or expands their networks to accommodate new applications or
growth -- a feature that may not have been affordable with a less
flexible system. The combination of Intraplex(R) and TRuepoint(TM)
provides a highly reliable, cost-efficient, single-vendor solution.
"Harris and Wright Communications are a formidable team, with
Wright delivering localized onsite service and Harris delivering a
complete solution," said Jayne Leighton, North America vice
president of sales and services for Harris Microwave Communications
Division. "Harris' microwave and networking products are designed
to seamlessly work together to provide the highest quality service
on the market." About Intraplex(R) Access Server Intraplex(R)
Access Servers feature a common architecture and platform that can
seamlessly support almost any combination of T1, E1 or Nx64
transmission requirements over copper and fiber-based services, as
well as licensed microwave, spread spectrum or satellite links in
point-to-point or drop and insert configurations. The Intraplex(R)
Access Servers outperform other multiplexing products by
incorporating unique transmission techniques that deliver enhanced
robustness and maximize end-to-end circuit availability for
real-time application traffic and services. Integrating
transmission requirements on the Intraplex(R) Access Server
eliminates the need to configure, maintain and manage a
proliferation of specialized equipment. Intraplex(R) access
products accept a wide range of plug-in voice, data, audio and
video modules, which allow users to create customized combinations
of payload channels to meet specific application requirements.
