"Harris' TRuepoint passed our rigorous homologation process," stated Mr. Yan Yun, director, Quality Supervision and Testing Center of Radio Communications Products, MII, China. "Harris met our exacting standards for performance and reliability." "TRuepoint's scalability and ability to support multiple applications from a single platform make it the perfect solution for the diverse networks within the Chinese market," said Qiu Jian, Harris managing director for China. "Given the market's dramatic growth rate, both in terms of traffic volume and service applications, TRuepoint will give service providers the ability to meet consumers' demands for many years to come."
