"We believe our Cell Reach(R) and Extremeflex(R) cables and connectors offer a valuable alternative to traditional corrugated systems," said Ted Hally, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CommScope Wireless and Carrier Solutions. "CommScope Wireless products continue to meet the demands of customers, such as Hoermann, who are looking for the lower life cycle cost and high performance our smooth-wall products provide. In addition, tests conducted under extreme environmental conditions show that our patented cable and connector design is capable of excellent long-term reliability and outstanding performance without the additional installation time and cost of secondary weatherproofing."

Hoermann is a general contractor for a major wireless operator in Germany and was responsible for overseeing the field test. "After seeing the performance results of CommScope, the certification was obvious," said Hoermann's Managing Director Manfred Braun.

"The value-added attributes like great quality, excellent customer service in Germany coupled with the delivery capabilities from CommScope's Belgium facility sealed the deal with Hoermann," said Peter Rorbach, CommScope Wireless' Business Director in North, Central and Eastern Europe. "We believe the relationship between CommScope and Hoermann will be beneficial to both companies as well as the mobile customers in the region."
