Harris Corporation expands terrestrial networks capabilities
Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has acquired key infrastructure assets of the government business of Core180, Inc. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, Core180 is a telecom network integrator that provides wide area networks and management services to government agencies, large enterprises, telecom carriers and systems integrators. The acquired infrastructure will become part of Harris CapRock Communications, expanding the company's terrestrial network infrastructure and its ability to offer fully managed, end-to-end communication services for both government and commercial customers.
Harris acquired Core180's proprietary carrier agnostic Network as a Service (NaaS) platform, which enables customers to extend their networks without additional capital or operational expenses, providing more network choices while lowering upfront investments. The acquisition includes 50 highly skilled terrestrial networking experts based in Core180's New York and Washington, DC-area offices, along with a 24x7 Network Operations Center used to monitor its extensive terrestrial infrastructure. Following the transaction, Core180 will continue to serve its commercial and government customers directly.
"Acquiring Core180 infrastructure gives us the people, tools and knowledge to dramatically scale our terrestrial capabilities on a global basis and support all the customers we serve today," said Peter Shaper, group president, Harris CapRock. "We look forward to integrating Core180's extensive terrestrial infrastructure into new solutions we build for our customers to meet their growing communications requirements."
