SEOUL, KOREA, January 13, 2009 – CommScope Enterprise Solutions, a
division of CommScope, Inc. (NYSE:CTV), the global leader in network infrastructure
solutions, has expanded its business opportunity in Korea with the appointment
of an additional distributor, KT Networks.

one part of a customer’s decision-making process,” said Dr. Ispran Kandasamy,
vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific, CommScope Enterprise Solutions.

locally is equally important. By expanding our channel footprint through KT
Networks, we hope to give CommScope customers more options and increased confidence
in the partner they choose to implement CommScope solutions. Choosing a distribution
business partner that has the right combination of experience, expertise and
market coverage to meet customer needs is invaluable.”
