BEIJING,
China – May 28, 2008 – CommScope Enterprise Solutions, a division of CommScope,
Inc. (NYSE:CTV), in keeping with its dedication to provide its Chinese customers
with intelligent network infrastructure solutions and services, today announced
its inclusion in phase II of the CCTV New Site Construction and Development
Program at a press conference held in Beijing. In addition, the company
discussed plans to showcase its live 10GBASE-T technology demonstration at the
Datacenter Dynamics Show in Shanghai on May 30 – marking the demo’s debut in
China.
CommScope won the cabling contract for the TVCC (Television
Cultural Center), phase I of CCTV’s new site program in 2007. The TVCC will
serve as the TV broadcasting and news center for the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games.
When determining which partner to choose for phase II of the new site, CCTV
turned to CommScope’s intelligent network infrastructure solutions once again,
based on the success of the first implementation.
“As one of the
first network infrastructure solutions providers in the Chinese market, CommScope
has a strong track record largely based on its ability to provide high-performance
cabling and intelligent infrastructure solutions,” said Charles Wong, Regional
Director of Greater China for CommScope Enterprise Solutions. “Our inclusion
in both phases of the CCTV program further strengthens our company’s leadership
as a supplier of superior products.”
“China is an extremely important
market for us,” added Peter Karlsson, senior vice president, global sales for
CommScope Enterprise Solutions. “We will continue to focus on understanding
our Chinese customers’ diverse network requirements and to deliver the solution
that best meets their needs. With our participation in high-profile implementations
like the CCTV program, we are confident in our place in China’s cabling market
now and in the future.”
The 159m high TVCC building has a 60,000
square meter total floor area and incorporates CommScope’s advanced SYSTIMAX®
iPatch® intelligent infrastructure solution, providing IT personnel with
an efficient means of managing the network physical layer. In addition, this
provision offers enhanced security measures. Other CommScope solutions used
in this installation are the low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), GigaSPEED XL®
Solution, LazrSPEED® and TeraSPEED® Solutions.
At the press
conference, CommScope also announced plans to unveil the first live demonstration
of 10GBASE-T technology in China. The demonstration runs Intel’s 10GbE Server
Adapter and Cisco’s 10GbE Catalyst Switch over the SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D®
Cat6A UTP infrastructure solution to showcase the full capability of 10Gb/s
in the network. The SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D solution was engineered by CommScope
