telecommunications networks RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., July 13
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bolstering its commitment to grow its
managed network services business, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
(NASDAQ:HSTX), a leading provider of wireless solutions that enable
the evolution of next-generation fixed and mobile broadband
networks, today announced the commissioning of its state-of-the-art
network operations center (NOC) at its Morrisville, NC-based
headquarters. The cutting-edge NOC was inaugurated last week by
Harris Stratex President and CEO Harald Braun. The center will
centrally monitor, manage and control networks for enterprise,
carrier, and state and local government customers. The new Harris
Stratex NOC is designed to manage and monitor multi-vendor,
multi-protocol network infrastructure, including various subscriber
access, 4G/WiMax access, IP backhaul and core network technologies,
as well as network elements providing energy, security and
surveillance controls. It provides around-the-clock network
surveillance, performance monitoring and trouble ticket management
for voice, video and data networks. The center monitors customer
networks to identify network problems before they can impact
business functions or productivity, and seeks to resolve issues
remotely from the NOC or by dispatching technicians to customer
sites. The center, which is located in a secured environment with
24-hour on-premise security, is staffed and monitored by a team of
engineers and technicians. At the NOC dedication event, which was
attended by several local officials, Keith Donahue, vice president
of the Global Network Services business at Harris Stratex, stated,
"We are excited to open our cutting-edge network operations center,
a vibrant, 24-7 operation from which we monitor and manage networks
for customers worldwide. This new facility represents a central
element of our company's long-term strategy to provide solutions
that create, expand and manage the fabric of next-generation global
communications networks, and it demonstrates our continued
commitment to North Carolina and the Research Triangle Park
region." Harris Stratex Global Network Services (GNS) is growing
its end-to-end portfolio of extensive professional services and now
has expanded its focus to include managed network services that
revolve around operating customers' networks. With its GNS
business, Harris Stratex offers managed network services so
customers can focus on their core business with the peace of mind
that their network is being managed 24X7X365 by experts who can
proactively manage, troubleshoot and optimize their networks.
Managed network services offerings are tailored to meet customers'
specific service-level agreements that meet their business needs
and contractual agreements to provide seamless service to their
end-users. "We have learned during the years that telecom service
providers are looking for more than just 'break/fix' activities,"
said Kaily Bissani, Harris Stratex, principal and managed services
solutions architect. "Our managed NOC services solutions use
service assurance tools and processes that quickly and efficiently
resolve issues. It implies a proactive rather than reactive
approach to service quality, enabling our customers to focus on
delivering innovative services that attract and retain customers."

advanced NetBoss XT(TM) service assurance solutions. The technology
