Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
(NASDAQ:HSTX), the leading independent supplier of turnkey wireless
transmission solutions, announced the introduction of Adaptive
Modulation to its Eclipse(TM) Carrier Ethernet over Wireless(TM)
transport solution at this year's Mobile World Congress, taking
place at the Fira de Barcelona, Spain from February 11-14. Eclipse
was the first microwave radio platform to support advanced nodal
networking, with Super-PDH(TM) and software-defined capacity
migration. Eclipse provides access and aggregation solutions for
backhaul of TDM, Ethernet only, and mixed TDM Ethernet traffic. It
offers the highest aggregate of TDM and Ethernet transport in a
single solution. The addition of Adaptive Modulation is an
efficient way to support increased future bandwidth requirements in
backhaul networks, while preserving limited available frequency
spectrum and re-using previously installed equipment. Eclipse will
now enable Adaptive Modulation links to be deployed to support both
TDM and Carrier Ethernet traffic, with hitless multi-modulation
switching that adapts to changing link conditions to ensure
carrier-class performance for high priority traffic over longer
distances and/or with smaller antennas. "The Eclipse platform
allows us to add significant innovations but with a practical
implementation approach," said Paul Kennard, chief technology
officer and vice president, International Sales, Harris Stratex
Networks. "Making the complex problem as simple as possible is a
request we often hear from our customers and modifying existing
network elements as opposed to adding more boxes or making
wholesale changes is by far the best approach." At the show, Harris
Stratex Networks' chief technical officer and vice president,
International Sales, Paul Kennard, will join with other leading
industry figures in a panel discussion to present the case for how
Carrier Ethernet over Wireless transport is the key solution for
mobile network evolution. The panel takes place on Wednesday,
February 13, 11:40 to 13:10 in the (EN) Enablers stream. Harris
Stratex Networks provides complete network solutions designed for
mobile and fixed wireless service providers and private networks.
These solutions include microwave radios for access and trunking
applications, carrier-grade Ethernet transmission systems, network
management software, and turnkey field services that include
network planning, engineering and implementation. Information will
be available at the show on Harris Stratex Networks' comprehensive
range of wireless transmission products, services and solutions.
Harris Stratex Networks will be exhibiting in Hall 2-0, booth 2F27.
