Harris Stratex Networks Introduces Adaptive Modulation to Its Industry Leading Eclipse Carrier Ethernet Over Wireless Transport Solution

                   Solution offers simplest upgrade path

    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., 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.
