- New Strategic Agreement Allows Leading Thai Reseller to
Distribute TRuepoint(TM) Microwave Radios - RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK,
N.C., March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation
(NYSE:HRS), a leading global provider of wireless equipment and
services, today announced an agreement with DG Capitel
International Co., Ltd., a leading Thai reseller of
telecommunications equipment, to distribute Harris TRuepoint(TM)
microwave digital radios throughout Thailand. The highly scalable
platform TRuepoint(TM) provides is an ideal backhaul solution for
the rapid growth in demand for cellular mobile and data services in
the Asia- Pacific region. "Service providers throughout
Asia-Pacific are looking for scalable capacity radios that are
flexible enough to grow with their network by increasing capacity
as demand increases," said Scott Crosbie, managing director of DG
Capitel International. "TRuepoint(TM) gives our customers this
flexibility by allowing operators to deliver both PDH and SDH
applications, as well as allowing bandwidth to be remotely
increased or decreased, depending on market need. This enables
operators to deliver advanced applications while supporting legacy
equipment from a single platform." TRuepoint(TM) was designed
specifically to meet the cellular carrier's need for a flexible
platform capable of serving a wide range of applications in diverse
markets throughout the world. The TRuepoint radio's programmable
software gives operators the advantage of serving many
applications, capacities and frequencies all from a single
platform. By utilizing one platform, operators reduce the amount of
equipment on hand and therefore minimize sparing and storage costs
associated with operating multiple radios. As a result,
TRuepoint(TM) enables carriers to significantly lower operational
costs while increasing time to market and broadening network reach.
"The growth in the number of cellular subscribers continues to be a
fundamental driver of demand for more cost-efficient backhaul in
the Asia- Pacific region," said Roberto Angeles, Asia-Pacific
regional sales director for the Harris Microwave Communications
Division. "As service providers move toward 3G services, the
ability of TRuepoint(TM) to provide wireless backhaul for voice and
data services makes it the obvious solution for the more complex
data service requirements and higher data rates we can expect to
see." DG Capitel International is a leading international supplier
of telecommunications infrastructure systems. The company has
expertise in the design and development of key passive site
infrastructure products. DG Capitel International focuses on the
cellular transmission marketplace and provides Harris a first-rate
outlet for distributing its TRuepoint microwave digital radios to
network operators in the Asia-Pacific market. About TRuepoint(TM)
TRuepoint digital microwave radios lead the wireless backhaul
industry in terms of both performance and manageability. Its
modular, software-selectable architecture enables TRuepoint(TM) 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 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.
