CommScope Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frank M. Drendel told stockholders that he believes CommScope is favorably positioned as a global leader in "last mile" cable and connectivity solutions for communications networks. "During 2004, we established CommScope as a global leader in structured cabling systems for enterprise networks and effectively doubled our size. We improved our financial performance while extending our capabilities to support enhanced broadband and content-rich services for the home, business or mobile user.

"We are particularly pleased with the 2004 launch and ongoing customer demand for SYSTIMAX(R) GigaSPEED(R) X10D, our revolutionary copper cabling system that is capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet," Drendel noted. "We remain confident about the market opportunities ahead of us."

In other business, CommScope stockholders: (a) re-elected as directors June E. Travis and James N. Whitson; and (b) ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent auditor for the 2005 fiscal year.
