HICKORY, N.C., June 18 / / -- CommScope, Inc. (NYSE:CTV), a world leader in infrastructure solutions for communication networks, today announced it has successfully deployed the BrightPath(TM) system with three major broadband cable operators, and has installations pending with three additional cable customers.

BrightPath(TM) is an innovative deep-fiber distribution system designed to work seamlessly with existing Hybrid-Fiber-Coax (HFC) networks.
