- Global distributor to supply Harris technology for TETRA installations
Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), a leading global supplier of wireless equipment and services, today announced an agreement with Danimex, a global distributor of communications systems. Danimex will supply Harris microwave radios for projects in Scandinavia used for Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) networks worldwide. This announcement underscores Harris' commitment to growing its distribution channel and customer base in Europe.
The agreement includes Harris' TRuepoint(TM) family of next-generation digital point-to-point radios, which are ideal for public safety networks with their stringent performance and availability requirements. TRuepoint provides robust and flexible options for cost-effective microwave backhaul of both voice and high-speed data traffic from TETRA networks, assuring communications between fire departments, hospitals and other emergency service providers.
"The TRuepoint platform from Harris stands out for its ease and speed of deployment," commented Egon Bruun, chairman of Danimex. "Working with Harris, we can rapidly create robust, multi-service networks that meet the demanding communications requirements of modern emergency services."
"TETRA networks play a critical role in emergency situations where public safety authorities need to know that they have reliable systems in place," said Mike Haines, Harris Microwave Communications Division's director of international channel sales. "The combination of Harris' robust technology and Danimex' expertise in delivering high-availability communications creates a solution that emergency services can trust."
