CommScope Wireless Announces Expanded Production and New Pricing for Wireless Products
HICKORY, N.C., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CommScope, Inc., (NYSE: CTV) a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance, broadband communication cables, today announced expanded production capability and a new, lower pricing structure for all CommScope Wireless coaxial cables, connectors and jumper products.

"After several years of expansion, research and development," said Larry Nelson, Executive Vice President of Development, "CommScope now has three plants on three different continents online to manufacture and distribute CommScope Wireless products. We have also made manufacturing and design improvements that allow us to lower prices for all CommScope Wireless coaxial cables, connectors and jumper cables."

CommScope's Newton, NC, plant, which is dedicated to wireless cable manufacturing and distribution, is now fully operational and TL 9000 certified. In addition, our plants located in Seneffe, Belgium and Jaguariuna, Brazil have the capability to manufacture and distribute CommScope Wireless products.

Other improvements that have resulted from CommScope's capital investment, research and development efforts for its current wireless product line include several new wireless products and cable manufacturing improvements that the company believes will offer cost savings for its customers while improving installed performance at antenna sites.

An example of the new, cost-saving improvements is CommScope Wireless' redesigned and improved "A" Series connectors that are the result of several years of development and capital investment. To achieve cost savings, the connectors were redesigned and reengineered to make more efficient use of materials while maintaining the same high level of quality performance. CommScope expects this new, improved and cost-effective "A" Series line of connectors to set new industry standards just as their predecessors did when they were introduced in 1997.

Also with an eye towards reducing cost while improving reliability, performance and ease of installation, CommScope is introducing new, reengineered SFX500 and FXL540 jumper cable products that have been developed to provide cost-efficient, high performance levels and improved life cycle cost while offering customers the hands-on benefits of field assembly. CommScope believes that all of these factors can lower customers' installed cost for the company's wireless products.

CommScope is the world's largest manufacturer of broadband coaxial cable for Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) applications and a leading supplier of high- performance fiber optic and twisted pair cables for LAN, wireless and other communications applications.
