REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2000

Harris Corporation, a leading international communications equipment company, today announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement for microwave radios with a worldwide provider of telecommunications infrastructure equipment. The three-year agreement, valued at US$90 million, covers Harris' point-to-point microwave products and is retroactive to March 1, 2000. This latest agreement follows the announcement last week that Harris signed a definitive agreement with TRT Lucent Technologies to purchase its point-to-point microwave radio business unit.

Under the agreement announced today, Harris will supply several products from its extensive point-to-point digital microwave radio portfolio including the Microstar, designed for fast and easy deployment of low- and medium- capacity wireless links; the Aurora, an unlicensed spread spectrum radio; the Megastar(TM) high-capacity radio featuring SONET and SDH standard interfaces with 155 Mb/s capacity and advanced 1:N switching; the Constellation(TM), supporting a large variety of network applications and designed to address spectrally efficient, mid-cap network applications; and the Galaxy(TM), Harris' advanced, all-outdoor, high frequency, high performance SDH millimeter wave radio.

"This announcement is the second in a series of recent strategic agreements that signifies Harris' continued emphasis on leading the industry in the delivery of point-to-point microwave radios," said Sam Wyman, president of Harris' Microwave Communications Division. "This customer, like many others, will benefit from the most advanced point-to-point product portfolio available, as well as from our broad range of service offerings, which continue to assist service providers around the world in the rapid deployment of their networks."

As a part of this agreement, Harris received an order last month valued at approximately US $12 million for a project in Mexico.

In a series of agreements signed on April 20, 2000, Harris announced it had entered into a definitive agreement with TRT Lucent Technologies to purchase its point-to-point microwave radio business unit, which also included a five-year preferred supplier agreement to serve the worldwide point-to-point microwave needs of Lucent's wireless divisions. The TRT Lucent strategic agreements are expected to be completed in early June.
