“We have an unprecedented number of devices that need data, but
mobile users have an expectation that the bandwidth is that of a
wired connection,” said Ric Johnsen, CommScope’s senior vice
president of outside plant business. “That’s why our convergence
story is so important. As our customers build deep fiber networks,
they need to consider how to meet this wireless demand, regardless
of if they have an FTTH or node +0 network. Whatever stage their
deployment is in, we are there to support our customers.”
Booth #1577 Highlights
- BUDI: Short for “building distribution”
closure, the BUDI is a fiber wall box that addresses MDU
applications. BUDI is the demarcation point between outside plant
and on-premises fiber. Fibers can be spliced or patched, and up to
48 drop cables and four feeder cables are supported.
- Fiber distribution hub (FDH) 4000: A
sealed hub that can be buried underground, or pole/strand mounted,
while providing the functionality and capacity typically found in
larger cabinets.
- Family of mini optical termination
enclosures (Mini-OTE): Newly-designed to streamline last mile
access, incorporating both splicing and plug-and-play hardened
connectors. Each has a wide range of style, size and configurations
to accommodate any need.
- Wireless technology: The booth will
showcase video monitors of fiber-to-the-antenna, powered fiber
cable, 5G and metro cell solutions.
In addition to showing convergence, CommScope will also discuss
its impact on networking. A few of the company’s experts will share
their knowledge with Cable-Tec Expo visitors:
- “The Impact of HFC-Wireless
Convergence:” Mark Alrutz and John Chamberlain, Oct. 19, 10
a.m.
- Wireless Live! “Fiber and Backhaul and
the Indispensable Foundation of Today’s Networks:” Chamberlain,

Also at Cable-Tec 2017, the Cable TV Pioneers will induct
CommScope’s Tony Finger into the Pioneer Class of 2017 during a
black-tie event in Denver. Finger is the vice president of sales
for service providers and MSOs for CommScope and has been with the
company for 36 years.
"I am truly proud and honored to sponsor Tony for his induction
into this year’s class of Cable TV Pioneers,” said Chris Bowick,
retired chief technology officer of Cox Communications. "I have
known and worked with Tony for almost 20 years both as his customer
and as his friend. I can’t think of a more deserving person to

professional, always putting his customers first, listening to
their needs and delivering on those needs as promised.”
