Harris Expands Broadcast Operations in Brazil

8.24.2007
Harris Corp. is expanding its presence in Brazil.
It said it has a growing customer base in the South American broadcast product, systems and services market. In September it will move its Alphaville office to a larger facility in the Brooklin neighborhood of São Paolo.
The expanded office will serve as regional headquarters for Harris Broadcast Communications’ Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) operations.
Broadcast Division President Tim Thorsteinson said Harris “considers Brazil to be one of the most promising and fastest-growing broadcast markets in the world.” Nahuel Villegas is regional vice president for CALA.

Also in Brazil, Dielectric hopes to expand its business through a new deal. It will work with Trans-Tel, a manufacturer of RF products that designs and installs systems. Dielectric will provide RF antennas and components that complement Trans-Tel’s line; the latter will provide engineering support and service in its market while acting as Dielectric’s certified technical consultant in the country.
The companies noted emerging business opportunities related to DTV deployment in that populous nation.
