CommScope to Showcase Its Innovative Solutions at The Cable Show in Boston

May 8, 2012 HICKORY, N.C.

CommScope, Inc., a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, will showcase its complete bandwidth-enabling portfolio, including its award-winningUniversal Wideband Edge QAM solution during The Cable Show in Boston this month.

In addition to its QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) solution, CommScope will demonstrate how operators can maximize their networks’ performance and efficiency by implementing bandwidth-enhancing technology, intelligent networking, and energy conservation and management solutions.

“Advanced technology, intelligence and energy solutions from CommScope help operators provide their customers with today’s advanced services while preparing for future demands,” said Ric Johnsen, senior vice president, Broadband, CommScope. “Operators are expanding their offerings by deploying state-of-the-art technology that addresses their customers’ ever-increasing demand for new and higher bandwidth services, and we are proud to support them.”

One way to accomplish this is by deploying CommScope’s Edge QAM solution. From this universal platform, operators can deliver QAM channels that can be individually configured as any service such as:

  • DOCSIS®
  • Broadcast video
  • Switched digital video
  • Video on-demand
  • Internet protocol television

The Universal Wideband Edge QAM solution maximizes a network’s flexibility, allowing operators to roll out their existing voice, video and data services. It also supports higher bandwidth and next-generation services over hybrid fiber coax networks without the need for additional hardware or service disruptions. It is designed to reduce power consumption in headend/hub environments through consolidation of equipment.

During The Cable Show, CommScope will advise operators on how to add intelligence into their networks. This deployment of intelligent solutions allows operators to make adjustments to parameters, improving network performance and increasing overall operational efficiency. CommScope also will explain how to also deploy solutions that help reduce energy consumption and provide clean backup power at hub site locations.

CommScope is also an official sponsor of Imagine Park, a live-events stage located on The Cable Show exhibit floor (Booth 2015), where ideas around content, communication and community will be discussed. Shane Eleniak, vice president, Advanced Broadband Solutions, CommScope, will speak during the “Smart Energy: The Power of Broadband” session on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 1:15 p.m. EDT. Eleniak’s topic will be “Infrastructure Efficiencies by Deploying a Universal Wideband Edge QAM Solution.”

The Cable Show, hosted by the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, will take place May 21-23, 2012 in Boston at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. CommScope will exhibit at Booth 2059 and have interactive demonstrations showcasing many of the technology, intelligence and energy conservation and management solutions the company has to offer the cable television industry.
