CommScope is at the forefront of shaping infrastructure, products and solutions that enhance people’s lives. It is focused on helping its customers transform networks with efficient solutions that optimize network performance and deployment speed.

 
The mind-set of focusing on today but always looking ahead sums-up CommScope’s tagline - “Now meets next.” It speaks to who CommScope is. “Now meets next” declares CommScope’s passion for progress and celebrates its ingenuity.

 
Transforming Customer Journey
 
Improving customer journey starts internally, with speed, flexibility and responsiveness. It is focused on continued improvement, knowing that it ultimately benefits its customers and partners, enabling it to perform and create value for shareholders.

 
Last year a few changes were made in CommScope to improve its velocity, and deliver its products and services faster to its customers. CommScope has done this by coupling its manufacturing, R&D and product line organizations together. From design to delivery, it has become faster and is able to service its customers faster in an ever growing market at a more rapid pace. 
 

Action Plan
 
CommScope sees B2B and B2C having more commonalities than differences. In both cases, business is done person-to-person. And establishing trust is the most important thing it can give to its customers. A core value of CommScope is integrity. CommScope has never been more future-focused than it is today, and it is grateful to its customers and partners for trusting CommScope with the future of their networks.
 

It expects to meet its commitments and maintain its product quality while collaborating with its customers to provide solutions to their key network challenges.

 
As mobility, cloud, the internet of things, virtual augmentation, and other factors, proliferate, the world is becoming more connected and CommScope has an opportunity to become a bigger force in helping its customers transform their networks to support a connected lifestyle. It is doing this by helping them solve problems, such as building more network for less money and doing it much faster. CommScope continues to create value for its customers and partners through providing simple, elegant and efficient solutions that help customers to quickly build, optimize, and operate their networks.

 
New Tech vis-á-vis R&D
 
Innovation remains the centre of everything at CommScope.  Its employees have created a product portfolio over 100,000 parts strong. In the IEEE Spectrum’s 2017 Patent Power Scorecard, CommScope trailed leading industry giants and finished ahead of other noteworthy industry names and competitors.
 

CommScope spends approximately 200 million U.S. dollars per year in R&D.  It will continue to identify innovation which helps customers solve problems, such as building more network for less money and doing it much faster.
