CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2002

Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), a leading supplier of telecommunications test sets and tools, today announced that the company has sold two million butt-in test sets since the industry-leading product was introduced approximately 25 years ago. The test sets are in use by technicians worldwide, and the latest model has become the standard test set for the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) in the U.S.

"This high level of acceptance in the industry reflects Harris' commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction," said Steve Coker, director -- Marketing, Harris Network Support Division. "Harris pioneered the touch-tone, butt-in test set, and we continue to set the standard with industry-first capabilities such as two-way speakerphone, data lockout, and ADSLSafe(TM) operation."

Harris offers test sets in a variety of models with varying features that meet the diverse needs of today's telecommunications providers. The test sets interface with computerized response systems and access customer equipment in a user-friendly, unassisted manner that results in lower training costs and increased productivity.

"Our goal is to provide cutting-edge functionality that helps to simplify the technician's job, while also creating value for service providers," said Coker. "Harris test sets are the choice of professionals in this business."

Harris' flagship test set, the TS44(R) DLX, safely tests the voice services portion of a shared line without disrupting the higher-frequency, asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service portion. In addition to its highly advanced and patented ADSLSafe technology, which includes data lockout and override protection, the TS44 DLX test set offers design and ergonomic features that facilitate ease of use and ensure durability in demanding environments.
