Harris Corporation awarded for innovation excellence

The Victorian Export Award for Innovation Excellence has been presented to Harris C4i.

Harris C4i,  an Australia-based operation of Harris Corporation, is a global leader in IP and data distribution service-based secure voice communications for mission-critical environments.

The organisation’s interoperable communications solutions are used in more than 35 countries by a wide range of industries — including aviation, defence, public safety, utilities and transport.

The business has experienced significant growth over the past five years, primarily based on exports. Award judges commended the operation’s high level of system integration, product customisation for different markets, staff engagement, and implementation of open standards and security assurance across product lines.

This integrated and collaborative approach helped the operation to introduce numerous market-specific solutions and to obtain the important US Department of Defense Joint Interoperability Test Command certification, signifying the products met the highest standards of interoperability and mission needs of warfighters.

“Harris is honoured to have our innovation and export achievements recognised by GOVEA,” said Alan Callaghan, president and managing director, Harris Defence Australia.

“Harris has supported the modernisation of Australia’s defence forces and air traffic management (ATM) operations for more than 25 years — delivering innovative communications and networking solutions that anticipate warfighter and civil aviation needs.”

The Victorian Export Award for Innovation Excellence was presented during the 2017 Governor of Victoria Export Awards (GOVEA), held in Melbourne and hosted by Linda Dessau AC, Governor of Victoria.
