Shanghai Vision To Distribute Harris Microwave Radios In China

Research Triangle Park, NC -- Harris Corporation announced an agreement with Shanghai Posts & Telecommunications Equipment Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Vision) to distribute Harris' TRuepoint microwave digital radios throughout China.

"The Chinese wireless market is poised for a rapid deployment of 3G wireless infrastructure," said Darryl Parker, vice president of International Sales and Services for Harris Corporation's Microwave Communications Division. "As a result, many wireless operators in China need a platform that can be easily and quickly deployed, and can deliver additional capacity and more advanced services in the future. TRuepoint is the ideal solution for this market, as it was designed to deliver voice, data and video services from a single platform."

TRuepoint digital radios have allowed Harris to provide wireless backhaul and access capabilities to operators in China that would have previously required multiple radios and interfaces to achieve similar results. TRuepoint allows wireless operators to move between PDH and SDH applications, while simultaneously delivering IP-based and TDM traffic. The product enables scaling from 4 Mbps to 155 Mbps depending on the needs of the specific application. It is this flexibility that allows wireless operators to use a single platform for all point-to-point wireless applications.

"Service providers in the Chinese market realize they need a radio that is able to provide the increased network capacity required for the more advanced applications that are quickly being defined as the new standard," said Zhang Yeling, general manager of Shanghai Vision. "TRuepoint is a single solution that addresses immediate capacity restraints and strategically positions operators to deliver new services as they continue to build out their networks."
