LAS VEGAS, March 26 -- IWCE, Booth # 17022 -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has introduced a suite of rich media management solutions optimized for public safety operations. The suite, which will be offered through the newly formed Harris Broadcast Government Solutions Unit, combines individual Harris products into total content delivery solutions - providing interoperability to public safety customers.
The Harris integrated solutions suite addresses requirements such as internal communications within local and state municipalities, traffic management and transit communications, emergency broadcasting, geospatial asset management and video surveillance.
The Harris suite of products also provides industry-leading broadcast solutions to support mission-critical video, audio and data transmission within and among city, county, state and Federal agencies and includes:
-- Intraplex(R) NetXpress(TM) IP multiplexer, which features SNMP management controls for complex audio and data video surveillance requirements within land mobile radio networks (shipping now).
-- Intraplex(R) SynchroCast3(TM) platform, which enables precise time delay control for applications requiring the simulcast of mobile radio systems (estimated to begin shipping spring 2007).
-- The H-Class(TM) Content Delivery Platform, an integrated approach to content management at the enterprise level, from ingest to distribution over a variety of devices or networks; and the H-Class(TM) Digital Asset Management tool, a core application within the H-Class(TM) product family that uses metadata, an advanced thesaurus, and innovative "deep-search" tools such as scene detection and speech recognition to enable analysts to find exactly what they need in the required resolution. H-Class(TM) Digital Asset Management now includes a tool for connecting geospatial intelligence with rich media content (estimated to begin shipping in July 2007 with Geospatial Media Asset Management (GMAM) technology, which is a means of tying all media assets to a geospatial location on a map).
-- The AM/FM Radio Flyaway Radio Broadcast System - a completely portable radio station in a small, ruggedized cargo container, providing everything that is required to begin broadcasting a signal and programming in the event of a disaster (shipping now).
-- The NEO(R) SuiteView(TM) v.3 multiviewer - a tool for command center and control room applications that allows a single monitor to act like many, with the ability to adapt to router changes and display alarm conditions (estimated to begin shipping spring 2007).
-- InfoCaster(TM) digital signage solution, which allows for the creation and display of information from different sources in a variety of fields, banners, and crawls and is used to display vital public information on a daily basis and/or during emergencies over a broadcast network (shipping now).
