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 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:
<<

management controls for complex audio and data video surveillance
requirements within land mobile radio networks (shipping now).

delay control for applications requiring the simulcast of mobile radio
systems (estimated to begin shipping spring 2007).

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).

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).

and control room applications that allows a single monitor to act like
many, with the ability to adapt to router changes and display alarm
