E1 and IP Interfaces RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Aug. 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading
global provider of wireless equipment and services, announced today
that its industry-leading TRuepoint(TM) digital microwave radio
platform is now available with 32 E1 and IP interfaces. The
additional E1 connections allow network operators to
cost-effectively maximize PDH capacity on the TRuepoint radio while
providing simultaneous data transport capabilities. This new
enhancement to the TRuepoint platform provides support for today's
evolving cellular networks and services. As global networks grow,
more bandwidth is required at cell sites to reliably deliver
advanced applications and ensure quality of service. The additional
capacity provided by the TRuepoint(TM) 32 E1 and IP capacity
upgrade allows operators to leverage the investment in their
existing network infrastructure. By simply adding an interface with
additional E1 connections, operators can take full advantage of
their current PDH capacity capabilities. The sophisticated modular,
software-selectable architecture of TRuepoint(TM) is able to
seamlessly switch between PDH and SDH applications, allowing
operators to have a clear upgrade path to SDH applications when
more capacity is required. "The 32 E1 and IP feature upgrade was
the next logical step in the evolution of the TRuepoint family,"
said Asif Rahman, vice president, Product Line Management for the
Harris Microwave Communications Division. "Operators are constantly
seeking ways to cut costs and offer more capacity on their networks
to keep their competitive edge. TRuepoint(TM) is truly a dynamic
platform, and Harris will continue to actively increase its
functionality to meet the needs of global operators." The 32 E1 and
IP capacity upgrade further builds on the advancements of the
TRuepoint platform, which is equipped with remote capacity control
and secure network management features. Remote capacity control
enables wireless operators to scale capacity on any TRuepoint
microwave link within their global networks to deliver performance
when and where it is needed. As a result, Harris customers have the
granular control required to optimize network resources and
cost-effectively adjust capacity on demand. The secure network
management feature enables wireless operators to remotely manage
any TRuepoint platform anywhere in the world using a broad
selection of security protocols, and also gives them the ability to
create pre-defined access permissions with Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Services (RADIUS) and event-logging capabilities. This
provides customers with the access control required to centrally
manage a global wireless network. TRuepoint(TM), which is deployed
in 70 countries, is currently the only microwave digital radio
platform in the industry combining 32 E1 and IP interfaces, remote
bandwidth control and secure network management. The new
enhancement to TRuepoint(TM) is available now. About TRuepoint(TM)
TRuepoint digital microwave radios lead the wireless backhaul
industry in performance and manageability. Its modular,
software-selectable architecture allows TRuepoint(TM) to seamlessly
