CINCINNATI, November 26, 2007 – Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information technology company, recently conducted technology seminars at the first HD Radio™ Conference in Sao Paolo, Brazil, November 6-8, 2007.

“This was a key event that supports our customers’ future success in digital radio broadcasting ventures and developments,” said Nahuel Villegas, Harris Vice President for Latin America and Caribbean (CALA region). “The Brazilian radio market has taken the lead in digital radio in the region, and we have taken a very active part in all early tests and in the more recent phases of experimental transmissions with the largest broadcast groups.
