Harris Corporation Enhances TRuepoint(TM) With Remote Capacity Control

Industry-leading Microwave Radio Platform Gives Operators a Chance
to 'Pay as You Grow' for Point-to-Point Microwave Links LAS VEGAS,
CTIA WIRELESS 2006, April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading global provider of wireless
equipment and services, today announced it has added a new feature
to its flagship TRuepoint(TM) digital microwave radio platform --
remote capacity control to enable operators to "pay as you grow" on
any point-to-point microwave link. Remote capacity control enables
wireless operators to scale capacity on any TRuepoint(TM) microwave
link within their global networks to deliver performance where and
when it is needed. As a result, Harris customers now have the
granular control required to optimize network resources and cost-
effectively adjust capacity on an on-demand basis. "With the mass
adoption of 3G, HSDPA and other wireless broadband services almost
upon us, our customers are looking to us not just for high-capacity
backhaul, but for the intelligence to manage that capacity as
market demands dictate," stated Guy Campbell, president of the
Harris Microwave Communications Division. "These additional
features give our customers the ability to centrally manage and
dynamically adjust their network resources as different levels of
capacity are required in different markets." TRuepoint(TM)
enhancements provide operators with the flexibility to remotely
optimize their networks' performance. This ability allows operators
to cost effectively adapt to the dynamic traffic flows incurred by
IP-based services (e.g. 3G, HSDPA) that require substantially more
capacity than previous voice and data services. Many operators plan
to offer several of these IP-based services to various markets
around the globe, so there is a significant level of
unpredictability in terms of how much capacity will be required to
deliver service in a given geographical area. Prior to remote
capacity control, this unpredictability could result in expensive
cost over- runs when operators were forced to guess at capacity
requirements. The new enhancements engineered by Harris remove the
uncertainty in delivering the appropriate level of backhaul
capacity, as TRuepoint(TM) customers can now remotely scale the
capacity of the point-to-point microwave link up or down without
hardware changes or site visits. In doing so, Harris eliminates
costly truck rolls and reduces the time required by an operator to
adjust fluctuating network capacity requirements driven by
bandwidth-intensive services. "Wireless operators around the world
are moving to IP-based services at an accelerated rate and that
means significant demand for dynamic backhaul," said Emmy Johnson,
principal analyst at Skylight Research, a research firm focused on
wireless, last-mile WAN technologies. "The market will continue to
require more and more backhaul capacity as services continue to
become increasingly advanced. By adding additional capacity
control, Harris has made its award- winning TRuepoint(TM) platform
much stronger." TRuepoint(TM), which is deployed in more than 55
countries around the globe, is currently the only digital radio
platform combining remote capacity control and secure network
management and also providing both TDM and IP interfaces. The new
enhancements to TRuepoint(TM) are available now. For more
