RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Sept. 30 /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, today announced it was named to the prestigious InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology. Ranked 175 overall on the 2009 list, InformationWeek recognized Harris Stratex Networks based on an innovative approach in modernizing the global communications framework across the corporation. The 2009 InformationWeek 500 companies were revealed on September 14, 2009 at an awards ceremony held during the InformationWeek 500 Conference at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California.
"The entire executive team at Harris Stratex Networks is pleased to have been selected for this distinguished honor" said Rich Plane, chief information officer for Harris Stratex.
"Along with innovative approaches in the design of our customer facing network operations center and state of the art datacenter, we were early adopters of emerging technology and have delivered innovation into our daily communications framework. Our goal was to create a video over IP communication service with commercial broadcast quality that delivered a life-size, face-to-face experience. As a result, we significantly reduced our intra-company travel which directly minimized our global carbon emissions and enhanced our executive and employee communications experience."
"For over 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. "Year after year, InformationWeek 500 companies harness technology to improve efficiency, boost productivity, drive revenue, and establish a competitive advantage.
