CommScope Names 12 New In-building Wireless Solution BusinessPartners

January 20, 2011 HICKORY, N.C.

After launching a new global BusinessPartner program in August 2010 and introducing its unique Solution BusinessPartner accreditation, wired and wireless network infrastructure provider CommScope, Inc. begins 2011 with the certification of 12 new In-building Wireless Solution BusinessPartners.

As part of CommScope’s In-building Wireless Solution BusinessPartner program, these 12 companies combine superior services and high-level skills with CommScope’s innovative Wired for Wireless™ and In-building Wireless products to deliver a turn-key solution for the full design, installation and management of in-building wireless connectivity projects to enterprise customers.

“We’re happy to announce the addition of these 12 In-building Wireless Solution BusinessPartners to our community,” said Stephen Kowal, vice president, Global Channel Sales, CommScope. “With expertise in radio frequency (RF) design and project management, these companies are eager to collaborate with our existing structured cabling BusinessPartners to work through solutions for emerging applications in the enterprise. By expanding our BusinessPartner ecosystem with new types, we’re able to solve more of our enterprise customers’ needs for wireless infrastructure—in addition to traditional structured cabling—and develop mutually beneficial relationships throughout our worldwide BusinessPartner program.”

To ensure successful deployment of CommScope’s Wired for Wireless and In-building Wireless integrated solutions, Solution BusinessPartners must meet a series of established requirements related to addressing indoor wide-area wireless coverage needs—from cellular to public safety.
