Contract With Turkish Government RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May
9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a
leading global supplier of wireless equipment and services, has
been selected by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Turkey's
largest government-owned city planning and public services
authority, to supply TRuepoint(TM) microwave radios as part of a
major upgrade of the local voice and data infrastructure. Harris
TRuepoint digital microwave radios will enable enhanced capacity of
up to 155 Mbits/s throughout the Municipality. With the continual
growth of the district's public services infrastructure, which
includes transport, water treatment and law enforcement, the
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality needed a telecommunications
network that could handle high levels of traffic and could be
deployed rapidly. The deal was secured by Setkom, Harris' local
distributor, with deployment by systems integrator Aselsan, and is
due to be completed in May 2006. "The evolution of voice and data
services has led to ever-greater demand for bandwidth in local
governments," said Viviane Walti, Harris Microwave Communications
Division managing director of European operations. "TRuepoint
radios can be rapidly deployed to meet today's needs, and are
scalable to meet the needs of tomorrow." The Istanbul Metropolitan
Municipality selected Harris TRuepoint radios for their
scalability, enabling the authority to expand capacity as required.
The Municipality has many new projects planned, and the enhanced
network will provide reliable, high-quality communications across
the area to enable the Municipality to accomplish their objectives
to further develop services that benefit and enrich the community.
