Harris Stratex Networks has announced a multi-year contract with Optus to deliver digital microwave radio transmission services. Optus is expanding its 3G mobile network to cover up to 98 percent of the Australian population and has selected the Harris Stratex Eclipse(tm) platform to provide backhaul for next-generation IP-enabled mobile base stations. Harris Stratex Networks will also supply their advanced ProVision Element Management System. ProVision has been developed specifically for the management of microwave radio networks, and delivers advanced features for monitoring and control of both TDM and Ethernet traffic. Eclipse is able to provide all the traffic interfaces to support Optus' legacy and future transport requirements, including support for traditional TDM-based voice services alongside high-speed transport for Ethernet/IP data. Eclipse also met Optus' requirements for advanced features to support efficient, cost effective and resilient network designs that enabled the smooth introduction of new IP services.
