TRuepoint Radios Will Quadruple Network Capacity for Ecuador's
National Petroleum Company RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 24
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading
global provider of wireless equipment and services, today announced
that PetroEcuador, Ecuador's national petroleum company, has
selected Harris' TRuepoint(TM) digital microwave radios to provide
Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, video surveillance,
access control and telemetry services. TRuepoint(TM), which leads
the industry in performance, flexibility and reliability, has been
deployed to provide PetroEcuador with the high-capacity
infrastructure needed to support these services while sustaining
the legacy network already in place. Harris' TRuepoint digital
microwave radios have quadrupled PetroEcuador's network capacity
from 8 Mbps to 32 Mbps, enabling advanced applications such as
integrated VoIP and data networking. TRuepoint(TM) now makes it
possible to interconnect all of the PBX switching centers over a
flexible wireless network. In the future, PetroEcuador's
TRuepoint(TM)-enabled network will be used to implement video
surveillance of the pipeline. The installation of video cameras
along the pipeline will allow for video monitoring during crude oil
transfers to refineries, helping to prevent oil disruption and to
ensure continual service within the region. "Supporting such a
diverse set of applications while streamlining our network
operations was a challenging prospect," said Ing. Julio Vinueza,
telecom manager of PetroEcuador. "The TRuepoint radio's flexibility
and capacity make it possible to support multiple voice, video and
data services, as well as to provide reliable interconnectivity
between our headquarters in Quito and the most distant points in
the heart of the Amazon. Additionally, TRuepoint(TM) allows us to
considerably reduce our sparing costs and contributes to lower
operating expenditures overall." Utility companies, including
petroleum companies and power companies, often rely on private
networks to monitor and manage their communications infrastructure.
The TRuepoint radio's unique platform provides these organizations
with the ability to implement new, IP-based applications while
simultaneously supporting the legacy applications already in place.
This flexibility enables utility operators to significantly reduce
operating and management expenses and increase network capacity by
using a single platform for all point-to-point wireless
applications. "The TRuepoint radio's outstanding performance
continues to lead the industry and delivers significant cost
benefits to our customers," said John Koenig, vice president,
Harris Microwave Communications Division. "In Ecuador, petroleum is
a significant source of revenue for the government and the
TRuepoint radio's flexibility translates into added efficiency and
security for one of the country's most valuable resources." About
