Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, has expanded its broadcast
operations in Dubai Media City, United Arab Emirates, and formed a
new regional headquarters office to support its growing business in
the Middle East and South Asia (MESA) region. It is one of three
Harris operations supporting a broad range of customers throughout
the region.
The recently enlarged Harris Broadcast Communications office
facility will house the service and support members of the MESA
team, which will work alongside the newly formed regional solutions
group that is responsible for managing larger, integrated broadcast
projects across the region. The inaugural office opening was held
Wednesday, October 12, 2011. In addition to the Dubai Media City
location, Harris provides local services, support, sales and
pre-sales teams at its facility in Noida, India.
“Harris first established its Middle East Broadcast operations
in Dubai in 2006, and has seen its annual business grow
exponentially across the region,” said Harris Morris, president,
Harris Broadcast Communications. “Expanding our presence enables us
to develop closer relationships with customers and engineering
teams, ensuring faster local service and support and helping
customers optimize their successes.”
Harris recently was awarded several new contracts in the region,
including a significant order from Turkmenistan TV, the state
broadcaster in Turkmenistan, for an end-to-end integrated Harris
broadcast solution for its new TV-Tower project in Ashgabat. Harris
also won a contract to provide Sky News Arabia, the new 24-hour
Arabic language news channel, with an integrated solution for part
of the playout automation facility at the broadcaster’s Abu Dhabi
headquarters. In South Asia, STV Orissa, a new regional news
network channel in northern India, went on the air last month with
an end-to-end newsroom playout solution from Harris.

services that provide interoperable workflow solutions for

In addition to the Dubai, UAE and Noida, India broadcast
facilities, Harris operates Harris Atlas Systems, LLC - a joint

highly reliable solutions for situational awareness, command and
control, emergency management and other mission-critical
