MagtiCom Selects Harris Stratex Networks for Wireless Infrastructure Expansion

Leading mobile operator in Georgia to expand network infrastructure and
provide advanced services to rural regions

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Stratex
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSTX), a leading specialist in backhaul solutions for
mobility and broadband networks, has secured a contract with MagtiCom, the
leading mobile operator in Georgia. Harris Stratex' Eclipse(TM) advanced nodal
wireless networking platform will be deployed to provide end-to-end backhaul
of both TDM and native Ethernet traffic, extending MagtiCom's wireless
infrastructure.

The Eclipse platform seamlessly supports TDM, as well as carrier-grade
Ethernet data traffic, using the platform's Liquid Bandwidth(TM)
software-scalable capacity migration capability. The extensive use of the
nodal architecture gives MagtiCom the ability to configure TDM or Ethernet
services as and where needed, under software control. The unique feature set
offered by the Eclipse platform allows flexible network expansion that is
adaptable to the changing needs of MagtiCom to accommodate next-generation
IP-based services. The network is controlled and monitored by Harris Stratex'
ProVision(R) Element Management System (EMS), which provides advanced features
such as circuit provisioning and network health reporting.

"Choosing the Eclipse platform was a logical process for us, considering our
long-term relationship with Harris Stratex Networks," said David L. Lee, chief
executive officer, MagtiCom. "The company continues to deliver the most
advanced point-to-point microwave radio technology available. While we
restructure our growing network to roll out 2G, 3G, CDMA and WiMAX services
for our 1.8 million subscribers, the high product flexibility and quality, and
the excellent support that Harris Stratex provides, will be key. This is not
just a supplier, this is a partner that is helping us optimize our
transmission network to remain competitive for the future."

"We are very pleased to continue our long-term relationship with MagtiCom,"
said Harald Braun, chief executive officer, Harris Stratex. "The MagtiCom
transmission network needs are very diverse, and Eclipse is the ideal platform
to support the mixture of TDM and native-Ethernet traffic backhaul. The
selection by MagtiCom is a great testament to the flexibility the Eclipse
solution provides for legacy 2G applications, current 3G rollouts and future
4G networks, such as WiMAX."
