Harris Corporation Announces TRuepoint(TM) New Generation Microwave
Technology to be Implemented in Asia-Pacific Indonesia's Centralink
Selects TRuepoint(TM) Microwave Radio for Kalimantan Islands
project SINGAPORE, CommunicAsia 2004, June 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading
global provider of wireless equipment and services, today announced
that its next-generation microwave radio, TRuepoint 5000, has been
selected as the communications backbone for a project underway by
Centralink, a leading wireless systems integrator in Indonesia. The
sale marks the first purchase in Asia of the innovative radio,
which offers versatility in terms of cost and capability -- and can
meet the requirements of networks throughout the world. "We
selected TRuepoint because it delivers an effective one-two punch
with its flexible upgrade capabilities and its ability to perform
over-the-water transmission," said Mr. Lukmanto, technical director
for Centralink. "It also provides our customers with a
multi-service platform that is cost-effective, expandable and
adaptable as their network requirements change." Centralink will
apply TRuepoint's SDH and PDH capabilities to create a
communications backbone for a project in the Sumatera and
Kalimantan Islands of Indonesia. "The selection of Harris TRuepoint
by Centralink represents the next- generation expansion they
anticipate in their network," said Darryl Parker, vice president of
international sales for Harris' Microwave Communications Division.
"TRuepoint is a reflection of how Harris is fully committed to
meeting the needs of Asia-Pacific where there is immediate demand
for products that can quickly establish and expand
high-performance, wireless networks." TRuepoint represents a major
breakthrough in development for Harris Microwave -- the largest
provider of microwave systems in North America. Providing SDH and
PDH in a single platform, TRuepoint meets the current and future
needs of all network operators, including mobile, private network,
government and access service providers. The unique architecture of
the core platform reduces both capital expenditures and life-cycle
costs while meeting all international and North American standards.
The wide range of capacities, interfaces, modulation schemes,
frequency and channel plans, and transmit power levels are made
available to meet the requirements of any network in the world. Key
technological advances of TRuepoint include its ability to migrate
from 4 to 180 Mbits/s on one radio, and its ability to support all
operating frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz and network interfaces
for E rates, T rates, STM1, OC3, 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T. Internal
network multiplexing capabilities support circuit grooming and
add/drop multiplexing for improved efficiency and reduced network
cost. The mixed network interfaces are particularly valuable for
CDMA, GSM and GPRS operators who plan to overlay 3G IP networks.
TRuepoint is available in stand-alone and fully protected
configurations. For all operators, TRuepoint provides the ability
to change network interfaces and increase transmission capacity
without changing outdoor equipment or indoor chassis. The
availability of a wide range of capacities and frequencies is a
function of TRuepoint's programmable radio design, which is
comprised of a universal core platform architecture and selectable
options for interfaces, capacities and frequencies. TRuepoint's
outdoor unit is capacity independent, its indoor unit is frequency
independent, and the modem can be programmed to match almost any
frequency plan with modulation rates up to 256 QAM. Additional key
features of TRuepoint include advanced FEC (forward error
correction) schemes for bandwidth and system gain optimization,
automatic transmit power control, reverse channel switching,
built-in self diagnostics, embedded SNMP (simple network management
protocol), dynamic bandwidth allocation and many additional
options. TRuepoint began shipping in the first quarter of 2004. To
learn more about TRuepoint and see a live demonstration, please
visit the Harris booth (Stand #5L1-01, Hall 6) at the CommunicAsia
Show in Singapore, which will be held June 15 to June 18. Harris
representatives will be available between 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
