CommScope Bringing Multi-market Connectivity Solutions To Upcoming ANGA Cable Show and The Cable Show 2010

April 28, 2010 HICKORY, N.C.

CommScope, a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, is bringing a comprehensive line-up of broadband, wireless and enterprise solutions—including its recently expanded and now PON (Passive Optical Network) compatible BrightPath solution—to the upcoming ANGA Cable Show in Cologne, Germany, and The Cable Show 2010 in Los Angeles.

Reflecting the company’s evolution from broadband cable supplier to a multi-market connectivity solutions provider, CommScope’s booth will include a variety of innovative solutions for wired and wireless, enterprise structured cabling, and broadband networks.

“The Broadband Solutions group’s fiber-to-the-premises, hybrid fiber coax, and subscriber drop solutions will take center stage in CommScope’s booth, given the focus of these shows,” said Ted Hally, executive vice president and chief commercial officer. “We have also added product information from CommScope’s Andrew Solutions and Enterprise Solutions business units, reflecting the convergence and overlap of network types and applications in today’s communications industry.”

Operators continually confront challenges to connect more users at lower cost and greater efficiency. Technologies are evolving in all industries—such as fiber-to-the-premises and cellular backhaul in the broadband market; LTE and mobile WiMAX in wireless; and 10 gigabit per second and intelligent building solutions in enterprise—to support business as well as residential customers. Bandwidth demands continue to skyrocket as users access more data-intensive services and applications.

“Leveraging the experience and expertise of CommScope’s engineers in broadband, wireless, and enterprise helps us offer customers insight into market and technology evolutions,” said Hally. “That is among the reasons why MSOs, wireless operators, enterprise owners, and global OEMs work with CommScope for the next generation of innovations to meet their goals.”

Some of CommScope’s broad portfolio of solutions, systems, and products will be showcased via innovative touchscreen technology at the company’s exhibits:

  • Broadband Solutions will showcase its expanded BrightPath® optical solution, which adds 1610 nm capable R-ONUs compatible with IEEE/ITU based PON solutions, and Euro DOCSIS based R-ONUs compatible with European cable systems. Broadband Solutions will also highlight advances in its MoCA optimized Signal Vision® subscriber drop solutions, A.I.M. 2.0 – the next generation of inventory management, “green” and efficient hydrogen fuel cell back up power options, and fiber backhaul solutions for cable operators.
  • Andrew Solutions will display its SmartBeam® next generation agile network antenna, GeoLENs™ wireless and wireline location, InSite Connect™ remote cell site control and monitoring, and Comsearch® spectrum management solutions, among others.
