Companies will Provide Type 1 Wireless Architecture for High
Security Access to Classified Resources ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 7
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an
international communications and information technology company,
and Cisco, the worldwide leader in networking, announced that they
are working together to speed the installation of Type 1 secure
wireless networks for federal intelligence and civilian agencies.
The two companies will combine their core strengths to provide the
Secure Mobile Architecture Type 1 (SMArT-1) -- a solution that
expands the ability of federal agencies to view and share
classified data over wireless information technology networks. "In
the past, Type 1 wireless solutions were limited at the federal
level due to policy mandates for wireless networking and other
protocols governing access to classified data," said Richard
Rzepkowski, vice president of communications security products,
Harris RF Communications. "The combination of Cisco and Harris
equipment offers a complete solution that allows agencies to
accomplish their objectives, backed by experts in wireless
technology, integration, installation and support-all at the
highest levels of information security." The combined solution
includes Harris SecNet 54(R) device, the fastest Type 1 wireless
encryption product available today, along with networking
engineering, installation, management, support and training through
the company's Harris IT Services business. Cisco will provide
routers and controllers and other networking equipment, along with
networking design and engineering services. With the combined
solution, federal agencies will now be able to obtain the best of
Cisco and Harris products and expertise to develop premier Type 1
wireless solutions that can meet their requirements for data
confidentiality and integrity, user and device authentication,
availability, asset tracking and intrusion detection. About Harris
