Harris Corporation Provides Atlas Ranger Transmitters for Qualcomm Mobile TV Trials in Hong Kong

CINCINNATI/HONG KONG, September 24, 2007 — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, announced that Qualcomm will use Harris broadcast transmission equipment for its MediaFLO™ mobile TV trial with PCCW Limited, the largest and most comprehensive provider of communications services in Hong Kong. This is the third international MediaFLO Mobile TV trial to use Harris transmitters to deliver rich, high-quality multimedia content to mobile handsets. Previous trials that Harris supported include BSkyB in the United Kingdom, and China Network Systems and Taiwan Television Enterprise, Ltd. in Taiwan.

FLO™ technology, a key component of the MediaFLO System, is a globally-recognized air interface technology designed to increase capacity and coverage and reduce costs for multimedia content delivery to mobile handsets. The Hong Kong trial will use Harris Ranger™ FLO transmitters with Harris Apex™ FLO exciters, both of which address FLO air interface requirements for transmission.

«Qualcomm is pleased to work with Harris transmission equipment for the Hong Kong MediaFLO trial,» said Mike Coad, vice president of partner relations for Qualcomm MediaFLO Technologies. «We have an ongoing collaboration with Harris, illustrating our companies’ joint commitment to advancing mobile TV and strengthening the global MediaFLO ecosystem.»
The Harris Ranger FLO transmitter for Mobile TV is a low-power, air-cooled transmitter that builds upon the widely deployed Harris Ranger ATSC transmitter for terrestrial digital TV transmission in the United States. The air-cooled design of the Harris Ranger™ platform makes it ideal for MediaFLO network deployments.

«The recent activity in Mobile TV trials worldwide has generated a new sense of anticipation within the international wireless and broadcast communities as more live deployments appear imminent,» said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications Division. «We are pleased to announce our participation in the Hong Kong trial, the latest in a series of MediaFLO trials to include our Atlas™ brand transmitters for the delivery of Mobile TV to consumers.»

Harris Broadcast Communications provides products, systems and services that deliver interoperable workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain. The Harris ONE approach brings together highly integrated and cost-effective products that are ideal for emerging media business models and for customers upgrading media operations to digital and high-definition services.
