Business Editors & Technology Writers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2001

Movaz Networks Inc., a company developing new optical connectivity solutions for telecommuncation service providers, has teamed with Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), a leader in precision optics communications, for the manufacturing development of Movaz's proprietary wavelength cross connect (WXC) and optical power monitor (OPM).

Under the terms of the ten year exclusive agreement, Movaz will contribute design and intellectual property expertise and Harris will supply its design, development and manufacturing expertise, gained from more than 30 years of creating leading-edge, highly-reliable optical technology used in spaceborne, airborne, and terrestrial applications, to construct the devices.

The announcement is timely as Movaz is introducing, here at the SUPERCOMM 2001 telecommunications conference and exhibition, its "RAY" product line in booth 4864 Hall E of the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC). This product line combines advanced optical transport systems, three-dimensional MEMS photonic switching, and embedded wavelength routing capabilities to develop an all-optical solution that delivers dynamic end-to-end connectivity across access, metro and regional networks. In so doing, Movaz lowers network costs because its products integrate previously separate network elements and functions into one.

Movaz is holding a press conference at 4pm today in room 308E of the GWCC to discuss its new product line and the strong collaboration with partners such as Harris in creating the new products. Mr. Michael Zeitfuss, vice president, Government Technology and Strategic Management, Harris Corporation, is scheduled to attend.

"We are very excited about expanding our optical program further into the commercial world, and we feel that this agreement with Movaz provides us with the best avenue into that arena," said Mr. Zeitfuss. "For the U.S. Government, we developed and deployed one of the first terrestrial optical network systems in the late 70s, and the first open optical network in space this year as part of the International Space Station. Our work with Movaz will continue our pioneering heritage, gained from providing significant resources for the research, development, and production of DWDM components and systems."

Harris will manufacture the WXCs and OPMs for Movaz at its 375,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facilities located in Palm Bay, Florida. The government division of Harris boasts over 3,500 highly skilled engineers and scientists who apply stringent quality standards such as ISO 9001 and SEI Level 4 into the products and systems the company delivers to its customers.

"We are pleased to team with Harris and leverage their vast experience in proven, reliable optical technology," said Bijan Khosravi, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Movaz Networks. "The Movaz, Goodrich, and Harris triangular partnership will dramatically change optical economics by bringing high-tech defense technologies to telecom."
