"The Eclipse wireless platform perfectly meets our requirements for a scalable and high performance transmission radio," stated Rosman Mat Ali, Group CTO of Dialog Telekom. "With this expansion, many more areas in our networks will benefit from better coverage, along with superior quality of service. Furthermore, Harris Stratex transmission equipment will play a significant role in the delivery of new 3G services across the country."

"In Sri Lanka, Dialog Telekom was the first user of our advanced Eclipse technology in their network," stated Raj Kumar, vice president, Asia Pacific Sales and Services, Harris Stratex Networks. "We are excited that our partnership with Dialog Telekom continues and that they have once again chosen Eclipse to implement their core backbone network. This again demonstrates that Eclipse provides a market-leading solution for the wireless transport of voice and data with scalable capacity and quality of service controls."
