Harris Corporation to Deliver Wireless Infrastructure to
Australia's Service Providers RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C., Dec. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading
global provider of wireless equipment and services, today announced
that it has signed a distribution agreement with Broadcast Services
Australia Limited (ASX:BSA) Transmission Services, Australia's
leading turnkey equipment and services supplier for both broadcast
and telecommunications service providers. Under the agreement, BSA
TS will distribute Harris Microwave Communications Division's (MCD)
radio products for point-to-point wireless communications
throughout Australia, as well as provide implementation and
management services. Included in this agreement is Harris'
next-generation microwave radio, TRuepoint(TM), the industry's
first universal platform for point-to-point digital communications
in the cellular backhaul market. Together, BSA TS and Harris MCD
will offer service providers in Australia with a complete,
end-to-end solution for wireless infrastructure including
installation and ongoing support. "With the anticipated growth in
3G services and a geography featuring many remote locations with
little infrastructure, Australia represents immense potential for
wireless infrastructure," said Darryl Parker, vice president of
international sales and services for Harris Microwave
Communications. "The combination of our TRuepoint microwave radio's
capabilities and BSA's extensive experience serving the Australian
market makes for a formidable alliance." "Given Australia's
legislative commitment to building out the nation's wireless
infrastructure, this partnership represents the perfect solution
for the demands of Australia's service providers," stated John
Chellingworth, group general manager BSA-TS. "TRuepoint microwave
radios are an ideal solution for the emerging wireless market in
Australia, while our experience in deploying wireless
infrastructure in the Australian market is unparalleled." About
