Harris + Core180... Acquiring Minds Wish To Know...


[SatNews] This telecom network integrator that provides wide area networks and management services to government agencies, large enterprises, telecom carriers and systems integrators will now become part of Harris CapRock Communications.

Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has acquired key infrastructure assets of the government business of Core180, Inc. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, this acquired infrastructure will expand 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.
