CINCINNATI, May 1, 2008 — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, was honored with two prestigious industry awards at the 2008 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB2008) convention held April 14-17 in Las Vegas. Harris won Broadcast Engineering magazine's Pick Hit award for the X85™ enhanced all-in-one processor and for the NEXIO AMP™ advanced media platform, the industry's first 3 Gb/s-ready broadcast server.

"At NAB2008, we introduced a wide range of innovative new solutions that enable broadcasters to streamline their workflows, reduce the cost of operations and profit from new revenue models," said Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications. "Winning these prestigious industry awards underscores the value of the unique Harris ONE™ approach, which brings together highly interoperable and cost-effective products that create efficiencies that today's broadcasters need to stay competitive."

With a 24-year history, the Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit awards are the industry's longest-running new product technology awards. An anonymous panel of Broadcast Engineering readers who are working professionals in the broadcast, post and network and satellite industries, selected the winners.

Unveiled at NAB2008, the X85 enhanced all-in-one processor is an extension of the market leadership of the X75™ all-in-one processor.
