CommScope will exhibit its next-generation SYSTIMAX iPatch Intelligent Infrastructure Solution at Cisco Live 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. Held June 27-July 2, the annual, award-winning communications conference for technical innovators is Cisco's largest educational and training event, attended by more than 10,000 IT professionals in-person and online via Cisco Live Virtual.

CommScope, a Silver sponsor and a Cisco Solution Developer, will present solutions from its SYSTIMAX, Uniprise and Andrew, brands during the World of Solutions expo at booth 1771 utilizing interactive touchscreen technology. CommScope representatives will also provide live demonstrations of the SYSTIMAX iPatch platform, a hardware- and software-based solution that enables enterprise network managers to make adjustments to the physical cabling layer infrastructure based on real-time visibility and insight into network connectivity and equipment.

"Cisco Live 2010 is a perfect opportunity to show the world that, in addition to engineering reliable, high-performance cabling and wireless network infrastructure solutions, CommScope is driving enterprise intelligence into the future by giving administrators complete control over the network through vision and knowledge," said Morgan Kurk, senior vice president of Enterprise Intelligent Buildings, CommScope. "As network connectivity needs evolve, so do our solutions. With more and more devices requiring network access entering enterprise environments, it's critical for network managers to have a birds-eye view of where those connections are and what they're doing. The SYSTIMAX iPatch solution delivers that type of 20/20 vision, and our iPatch demonstration at the World of Solutions expo will allow IT professionals to connect and interact with our solution like it will connect and interact with their network."

Combining SYSTIMAX iPatch intelligent copper patch panels and high-density fiber optic shelves with infrastructure operations software and control systems, the iPatch solution provides network administrators in data center and enterprise environments with real-time configuration information related to network connectivity including identifying and mapping the physical location of devices connected to network equipment. As part of the business intelligence evolution, this unprecedented vision into the physical layer enables IT professionals to ensure the security of their network with the ability to quickly eliminate blind spots, immediately detect and locate network breaches and constantly monitor all moves, adds or changes within the network.
