HICKORY, N.C., June 19 / - CommScope, Inc., (NYSE:CTV), a world leader in infrastructure solutions for communication networks, today announced that CommScope, Inc. and Karlee, Inc. plan to continue supporting the rapid deployment requirements of Internet Protocol Over Television (IPTV) solutions through a joint manufacturing relationship. CommScope is the Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) of enclosures and Karlee, a minority-owned business, manufactures these products on behalf of CommScope. CommScope embraced the diversity challenge from its customers and created a value-added model that benefits the Carrier group while meeting the demand for quality cabinets due to network expansion and the industry's diversity commitment.
"The professional relationship between CommScope, Inc. and Karlee, Inc. began in 2005 when Karlee manufactured one CommScope cabinet design for a large IPTV rollout," stated Julie Nielson, Vice President Product Management and Engineering. "Since then, the collaborative production of cabinets has steadily increased each year. We believe the CommScope approach has created a competitive advantage that provides our customers exceptional quality in both manufactured parts and in the flexibility required to meet rapid deployment schedules," added Nielson.
The CommScope Carrier group offers lab-engineered, integrated cabinet solutions that provide effective thermal, EMI and environmental protection. The quality of these integrated cabinet solutions is proven through the global deployment of over 350,000 cabinets meeting GR-487 requirements. In addition, the CommScope Carrier group provides apparatus designed for switching and transmission applications in telephone central offices and remote locations.
