COMMUNICASIA 2008: Harris Stratex Networks to Expand Wataniya Telecom's Network

(Business News & Technology News, 18 Jun 2008)

Harris Stratex Networks Inc. has been selected by Wataniya Telecom Maldives to upgrade its core transmission network as it moves toward 3G+ technology to provide multiple SDH trunks across the island paradise. As part of the contract, Harris Stratex Networks will supply the new TRuepoint 6500 ultra-high capacity, carrier-class all-indoor radio, together with network consulting and turnkey services, taking responsibility for the complete upgrade of the network.

Harris Stratex Networks' TRuepoint 6500 will enable operators to meet fast-growing capacity requirements at the core of the network—where network availability is vital. TRuepoint 6500, a robust architecture for SDH trunking and N+1 protection with multiple levels of hardware redundancy and anticipatory radio path protection, enables providers to reduce tower loading through smaller antenna sizes, eliminate repeater sites by reaching further, and save on power plant and building facilities—all critically important to the Wataniya network across the Maldives.

With the TRuepoint 6500, a complete Harris Stratex Networks ProVision Element Management System (EMS) will be installed for Wataniya, providing advanced monitoring and control of the complete microwave network and associated devices.
