Harris combines flagship broadcast and wireless technologies to deliver
the industry's most flexible solution for video networking and transport
Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), a leading global provider of wireless
equipment and services, today introduced the Harris Video Networking and
Microwave solution. This combination of two industry-leading systems -- the
NetVX(TM) high-speed, integrated networking system from Harris' Broadcast
Communications Division and the TRuepoint(TM) next-generation microwave digital
radio system from its Microwave Communications Division -- offers global video
network operators such as broadcasters, public safety agencies and other
content distributors unprecedented flexibility and reach to seamlessly
transport conventional and digital video, audio and data traffic across common
carrier and Studio Transmitter Link (STL) environments.
"Using our Video Networking and Microwave Solution, Harris customers can
now distribute legacy and emerging digital content via any network or
protocol," said Asif Rahman, vice president, product line management for
Harris' Microwave Communications Division. "This flexibility gives video
network operators the means to cut operational costs, enter new markets quickly
and leverage all content regardless of origin. These benefits provide a direct,
positive impact on a broadcaster's bottom line and provide easy migration to
full digital video networking."
The two components of Harris' Video Networking and Microwave solution --
NetVX and TRuepoint -- are built on the same powerful concept: modular,
software-programmable technology designed for versatility and economy.
Together, these platforms deliver the means to access new markets, enhance
revenues and reduce overall cost of ownership. Additionally, the Harris Video
Networking and Microwave Solution allows global video network operators to
leverage their existing infrastructure while they migrate to new, digital
applications and content.
TRuepoint, which meets FCC Part 101 requirements for common carrier
applications and FCC Part 74 requirements for video STL and TSL applications,
leads the industry in performance and manageability. TRuepoint also
dramatically lowers the cost of ownership by operating at multiple frequencies
and supporting multiple applications from a common platform. NetVX delivers a
new paradigm in video networking by replacing up to 14 hardwired components
previously needed to support only one type of network with an infinitely
flexible platform that can handle every packet-based architecture -- ATM, IP
and microwave -- as well as satellite.
About TRuepoint(TM)
TRuepoint(TM) leads the wireless backhaul industry in performance and
manageability. Its modular, software-selectable architecture is able to
seamlessly switch between PDH and SDH applications, enabling service providers
to use a universal platform to deliver multiple applications throughout their
networks. Designed specifically for point-to-point wireless applications,
TRuepoint can deliver service from 4 to 180 Mbps at frequencies ranging from 6
to 38 GHz. In addition, service providers can completely manage TRuepoint
deployments remotely with SNMP-based management. Built-in diagnostics and
performance management are also available.

evolution.
