Harris completes TRT Lucent business unit acquisition

Communications equipment manufacturer Harris Corp. (Melbourne, FL) has completed its acquisition of TRT Lucent Technologies Inc. microwave radio business unit (see Harris Acquires Lucent Microwave Radio Business). The two companies have also entered into a five-year preferred supplier agreement in which Harris will supply point-to-point microwave products worldwide for Lucent's wireless divisions.

Under the agreement, Harris acquires Lucent's point-to-point microwave radio business including TRT Lucent's Microwave Digital Link (MDL) product line, which covers the 2 GHz-38 GHz frequency bands and is European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) compliant.

The business unit will be located in Chatenay-Malabry, Hauts de Seine, just outside of Paris and will be called Harris Communications SA, a part of Harris' Microwave Communications Division. Lucent will stay in its facility in Rouen, France, and will continue to manufacture the MDL product line for Harris.
