Leading India-based telecom industry publication recognizes
company's market leadership for second consecutive year NEW DELHI,
Aug. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
(NASDAQ:HSTX), a leading provider of wireless solutions that enable
the evolution of next-generation fixed and mobile broadband
networks, announced it was recognized by Voice&Data magazine as
the top company in India's WiMAX equipment market at this year's
tenth annual V&D100 Awards. According to Voice&Data's
fiscal year 2008-2009 industry analysis, Harris Stratex led the
WiMAX broadband infrastructure sector in India with an estimated 70
percent market share, maintaining its leadership from the previous
year. Raj Kumar, Harris Stratex vice president of Asia, received
the prestigious award at a ceremony held at ITC Maurya in New
Delhi. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Chairman J. S.
Sarma was the chief guest at the event. The V&D100 awards were
instituted in 2000 to honor leading players in the burgeoning
telecom sector, and are considered the hallmark of the Indian
telecom and information technology industry. The company rankings
are derived from extensive surveys and market analysis by India's
flagship Voice&Data telecommunications publication, and the
research findings are published in the annual V&D100 survey.
This year's survey covered more than 650 equipment and services
companies. Abrahim Ahmad, group editor for Voice&Data, said,
"We congratulate Harris Stratex for their continued excellence and
the definitive lead they maintain in the WiMAX space. It is our
endeavor to recognize the companies who make the Indian telecom
market so dynamic, disruptive and consumer centric. I am glad to
note that India's telecom players managed to beat the macroeconomic
slowdown -- one of the very few sectors or industries in the world
to do so. This is also one of the Indian segments that is matching
global standards and beating them on innovation, value, and
profitability on incredibly low tariffs." On accepting the award,
Raj Kumar said, "This is a proud moment for us at Harris Stratex to
be recognized as the leader in India's WiMAX market by
Voice&Data for the second year in a row. We believe India's
broadband growth is reaching an inflection point toward the much
awaited broadband explosion. We see huge growth potential for this
important market, which we entered through our recent acquisition
of Telsima Corporation. We are dedicated to playing an instrumental
role in the country's broadband revolution, and this award
reinforces our commitment to excellence. We dedicate this award to
our esteemed customers who have chosen our solutions to offer
next-generation technology to Indian consumers and for their
continuous support to our march toward innovation and execution."
