Networks CINCINNATI, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation's (NYSE:HRS) Broadcast Communications Division's
products and systems for the emerging mobile TV market will be on
display at NAB2006. Recent launch announcements from two mobile TV
networks have signaled the dawn of true, live broadcast television
delivery to handheld devices in the United States. Harris'
participation in early stage trials across Europe and Australia,
well- documented in 2005, has positioned the company as a leading
transmission vendor for mobile TV requirements. The company's
mobile TV transmission solutions have been used to develop and
prove the effectiveness of the DVB-H, FLO(TM) and T-DMB standards
for mobile broadcast television. At NAB2006, Harris will highlight
its total content delivery solutions for mobile TV that expand far
beyond transmission to include infrastructure, broadband software
and distribution equipment. "Harris' expertise in television
broadcast equipment and systems has the company well-prepared for
the growth of mobile TV worldwide," said Jeremy Wensinger,
president of Harris Broadcast Communications Division. "Besides TV
transmitter products, Harris offers total content management
solutions that enable mobile TV operators to quickly implement
effective applications for this rapidly developing area. Between
our successes in major mobile transmission trials and our range of
content production, distribution and management systems, Harris is
poised to lead the emerging mobile TV networks into effective
operations." Harris began developing terrestrial transmission
platforms for mobile TV in 2004 after participating in early
demonstrations and the development of the DVB-H standard. The
company's recent acquisition of Leitch Technology has added a range
of servers, routers, switchers and processing equipment to Harris
NetVX(TM) video encoding and distribution systems, providing the
infrastructure for bringing content into the mobile TV headend.
Meanwhile, equipment from Harris' Software Systems business unit
adds a complement of broadband software and distribution equipment
for network management, traffic scheduling, digital asset
management and ad insertion, among other applications. The entire
portfolio gives Harris the most comprehensive solution for mobile
TV. Mobile TV applications are highlighted in the Harris booths at
NAB2006, with the DVB-H and FLO(TM) modulation schemes demonstrated
with Harris' latest transmission product solutions in the Central
Hall. In the Harris South Hall booth, visitors will be able to
explore the Leitch and Harris Software Solutions products for
mobile TV applications. "Harris offers a comprehensive range of
innovative RF solutions for DVB-H and FLO(TM) applications in a
variety of frequency bands," said Dale Mowry, vice president and
general manager of Harris' Television Broadcast Systems business
unit. "Combined with the broad range of Leitch systems, NetVX(TM)
networking systems and Harris Software Systems, Harris offers
mobile TV operators an end-to-end portfolio that delivers
multi-standard functionality, open interoperability, advanced
software, and proven transmission experience." About Harris
