Harris Corporation Announces First European Installation of its Large Platinum Router at Germany's ProSiebenSat.1 Group

CINCINNATI, July 7, 2006 - Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today announced that ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, the German commercial television conglomerate, is the first broadcaster in Europe to take delivery of the new Harris PlatinumT router.

The sale, for the company's Berlin facility, was made by Teracue AG, the distributor of Harris broadcast products in Germany. Harris PlatinumT has enabled ProsiebenSat1 to get all their input/output (I/O) points into a 28-rack unit chassis - replacing an existing routing configuration that was housed in a 66-rack unit chassis. The high-capacity, small-footprint Harris PlatinumT routing switchers provide high-quality signal routing up to 256x256 in 15RU and 512x512 in 28RU and support a mix of any signal - video and audio, from analogue to HD - all in the same frame. Built for maximum reliability in even the most harsh, 24/7 operation, Harris PlatinumT is ideal for network, local broadcaster, mobile production, cable, telco, military, government and corporate applications - any environment that requires routing of a large number of signals. The Harris PlatinumT router also was easy to integrate into the existing infrastructure. The construction of the router allows for easy access to all active devices, controllers and units. We can also hot-swap boards while the router is on air, which is a major advantage for an operation like ours. ProSiebenSat.1 Group has two main facilities: one in Berlin and the other in Munich. The Berlin facility houses the main studios for live recording of television programs and production, and is where news and TV programming is produced for the complete broadcast chain. Most content is created for entertainment channel Sat.1 and news channel N24. The Harris PlatinumT router serves as the backbone of the Berlin facility and is also used for live signals being routed to the Munich facility for playout.
