Systimax Solutions, the worldwide leader in structured connectivity

Center. According to Systimax Solutions, the new Executive Briefing Center in

At a media briefing held in Bangalore today, Peter Karlsson, CommScope's
Senior Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, told reporters that the opening of
the company's Executive Briefing Center in Bangalore is an affirmation of the
company's commitment and faith in the potential of India as the next global
economic powerhouse.

Systimax Solutions' Executive Briefing Center in Bangalore serves as a
location for customers, BusinessPartners and media to learn first-hand about the
end-to-end connectivity solutions - copper, fiber, patching and wireless
offerings - available to support an enterprise organization's long-term IT
infrastructure requirements. At the Executive Briefing Center, some of the
latest world class technologies and products that visitors can view include the

infrastructure management; the high density VisiPatch System and the

Karlsson said, "India plays a very key role in our global business
strategy. Globally, it is already one of our largest markets and one of the
fastest growing as well. We strongly believe that India offers us the right
opportunity and platform to consolidate our market leadership in the Asia
Pacific region."

The Indian technology market is also expected to show impressive growth
rates. According to a recent report by IDC, the India IT market grew by 24
percent in 2003, providing tremendous opportunities for IT and telecom vendors
and service providers. In 2003, India was ranked as the 21st highest IT spender
and it is expected to move up to 14th position in 2008.

Dr. Ispran Kandasamy, Vice President and Managing Director of Asia Pacific

an affirmation of our commitment to build a stronger presence in this market and
support the growth of India. With the opening of our EBC in Bangalore and the
expansion of our team in this market, we are now able to extend our reach and
provide even greater value-add to our customers in India."
