Strategic Relationship Allows Leading Chinese Reseller to
Distribute TRuepoint(TM) Microwave Radios RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK,
N.C., Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation
(NYSE:HRS), a leading global provider of wireless equipment and
services, today announced an agreement with Shanghai Posts &
Telecommunications Equipment Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Vision), a leading
Chinese reseller of telecommunications equipment, to distribute
Harris' TRuepoint(TM) microwave digital radios throughout China.
This agreement further expands Harris' presence in the largest
cellular market in the world. TRuepoint(TM) is the industry's most
comprehensive platform for point-to-point wireless communications.
"The Chinese wireless market is poised for a rapid deployment of 3G
wireless infrastructure," said Darryl Parker, vice president of
International Sales and Services for Harris Corporation's Microwave
Communications Division. "As a result, many wireless operators in
China need a platform that can be easily and quickly deployed, and
can deliver additional capacity and more advanced services in the
future. TRuepoint(TM) is the ideal solution for this market, as it
was designed to deliver voice, data and video services from a
single platform." TRuepoint(TM) digital radios have allowed Harris
to successfully provide wireless backhaul and access capabilities
to operators in China that would have previously required multiple
radios and interfaces to achieve similar results. TRuepoint(TM) is
the only platform in the industry that allows wireless operators to
seamlessly move between PDH and SDH applications, while
simultaneously delivering IP-based and TDM traffic. The product
enables scaling from 4 Mbps to 155 Mbps depending on the needs of
the specific application. It is this flexibility that allows
wireless operators to use a single platform for all point-to-point
wireless applications, thus significantly reducing operating and
management expenses while delivering new services and increasing
network capacity. With the combined flexibility and scalability of
TRuepoint(TM), operators are able to add new services and grow
their customer base with limited impact on network infrastructure.
"Service providers in the Chinese market realize they need a radio
that is able to provide the increased network capacity required for
the more advanced applications that are quickly being defined as
the new standard," said Zhang Yeling, general manager of Shanghai
Vision. "TRuepoint(TM) is a single solution that addresses
immediate capacity restraints and strategically positions operators
to deliver new services as they continue to build out their
networks." Founded in 1951, Shanghai Vision is one of the
subsidiaries of China PUTIAN Corporation. Shanghai Vision focuses
on the development, production and marketing of high technology
information and telecommunication products throughout China and
offers Harris a premium outlet for distributing its TRuepoint
microwave digital radios to network operators in the rapidly
expanding Chinese market. About TRuepoint(TM) TRuepoint(TM) digital
microwave radios lead the wireless backhaul industry in terms of
both performance and manageability. Its modular, software-
selectable architecture is able to seamlessly switch between PDH
and SDH applications, enabling service providers to use a universal
platform to deliver multiple applications throughout their
networks. Designed specifically to deliver point-to-point wireless
service, TRuepoint(TM) radios can deliver service from 4 to 155
Mbps at frequencies ranging from 6 to 38 GHz. In addition, service
providers can completely manage TRuepoint(TM) deployments remotely,
with SNMP-based management. Built-in diagnostics and performance
management are also available. About Harris Microwave
