CommScope to Acquire Andrew for $2.6 BillionExpands CommScope's Global Leadership in Infrastructure Solutions for Communications NetworksExpected to be Accretive to CommScope's Cash Earnings per Share, Excluding Special Items, in First Full Year after Closing

HICKORY, N.C. and WESTCHESTER, Ill., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CommScope, Inc. and Andrew Corporation today announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement, unanimously approved by their respective Boards of Directors, under which CommScope will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Andrew for $15.00 per share, at least 90 percent in cash, creating a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks.

The transaction, which is valued at approximately $2.6 billion, is expected to be accretive to CommScope's cash earnings per share, excluding special items, in the first full year after closing. The $15.00 per share purchase price represents a premium of approximately 13 percent over Andrew's average closing share price for the last 30 trading days, a 21 percent premium over Andrew's average closing share price for the last 60 trading days, and a 16 percent premium over the closing price of Andrew's common stock on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, the last trading day prior to this announcement.

Key Strategic Benefits of the Transaction

The combined company will be a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, including structured cabling solutions for the business enterprise; broadband cable and apparatus for cable television applications; and antenna and cable products, base station subsystems, coverage and capacity systems, and network solutions for wireless applications. The combination of the companies' respective operations is expected to result in meaningful operating, cost and sales synergies, and other important benefits to shareholders, customers and employees, including:

- Building upon complementary global product offerings that will provide customers with a broader array of infrastructure solutions for video, voice, data and mobility; - Expanding global distribution and manufacturing capabilities; - Enhancing growth opportunities by combining marquee brands, innovative technologies, and global service models; - Strengthening industry-leading R&D and intellectual property portfolio; - Affording scale in procurement, logistics and manufacturing in an increasingly competitive market; - Diversifying top-tier customer base; and - Providing greater opportunities for employees as part of a larger, more diversified global corporation.

Based on CommScope's and Andrew's results for fiscal year 2006, on a pro forma basis, the combined companies would have had sales of approximately $3.8 billion comprised of approximately 35 percent in wireless antenna and cable products; 29 percent in carrier and network solutions; 21 percent in enterprise products; and 15 percent in broadband/cable television solutions. The combined companies' revenues on a geographic basis would have been approximately 57 percent in North America; 24 percent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; 12 percent in Asia/Pacific Rim; and 7 percent in Latin America. The combined company will have more than 2,200 global patents and pending patent applications and approximately 16,000 employees serving more than 130 countries.

"We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Andrew, which we believe is extremely beneficial to the shareholders of both companies," said Frank M. Drendel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CommScope. "By combining CommScope and Andrew, we are enhancing CommScope's position as a worldwide leader in 'last mile' solutions. Combining our innovative technologies, premier brands and a top-tier customer base, we will expand our global service model and create an enhanced offering of communications infrastructure solutions that addresses a broader spectrum of customer needs. With the acquisition of Andrew, we are advancing CommScope's stated global strategy and creating important cost reduction and growth opportunities that we believe will drive increased shareholder value."

Mr. Drendel continued, "We are also pleased to welcome Andrew's talented and dedicated employees to the CommScope team. We intend to invest in the combined business for profitable growth, and the employees of both companies will be important to our continued success. CommScope is a proven and successful integrator of strategic transactions and we expect to begin realizing the benefits of this combination immediately after the transaction closes and enjoy them fully over the next few years."

"We believe that the combination of Andrew and CommScope creates a strong company with long-term advantages for our customers and employees," said Ralph Faison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Andrew Corporation. "Our two companies fit together strategically with leading complementary product offerings and geographical strengths. This transaction provides our shareholders with a significant cash premium and offers our global employees an even more promising future as part of a larger and more diversified company. We are excited to unite the strengths of Andrew and CommScope and further expand our range of services to the benefit of our many customers around the world."

Cost Savings and Revenue Synergies

Given CommScope's track record of successfully integrating acquisitions, manufacturing discipline and commitment to operational excellence, the combined company expects to generate substantial annual pretax cost savings, excluding one-time transition items, of approximately $90 million to $100 million in the second full year after completion of the transaction, of which approximately $50 million to $60 million are expected to be achieved in the first full year after completion. The cost savings are expected to come from a combination of procurement savings, rationalization of duplicate locations, streamlining overhead and integration of infrastructure, and building upon best practices in technology and manufacturing. No assurance can be given that these cost savings can be achieved in the amounts or during the periods predicted. Transition cash costs are expected to total approximately $70 million to $80 million in the first two years after completion.

CommScope has also identified potential revenue synergies, including expected benefits from the combination of Andrew's industry-leading in- building wireless products with CommScope's global leadership in the Enterprise market. In addition, CommScope sees the potential to increase sales of its integrated cabinet solutions through Andrew's leading global channel to wireless carriers as well as opportunities to expand broadband connectivity product offerings.

Following the close of the transaction, Andrew will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CommScope. Frank Drendel will remain Chairman and CEO of CommScope, and CommScope will retain its global headquarters in Hickory, North Carolina. The combined company also plans to maintain its Chicago-area presence, exemplified by building upon Andrew's state-of-the-art manufacturing and office facility in Joliet, Illinois.

Terms, Financing and Capital Structure

Under the terms of the agreement, each share of Andrew common stock will be converted into $15.00, comprised of $13.50 per share in cash and an additional $1.50 per share in either cash, CommScope common stock, or a combination of cash and CommScope common stock totaling $1.50 per share, at CommScope's option.

If CommScope determines to pay the $1.50 portion of the purchase price entirely in CommScope common stock, each share of Andrew common stock would be converted into $13.50 in cash, plus a fraction of a share of CommScope common stock equal to $1.50 divided by the volume weighted average of the closing sale price of CommScope common stock over the ten consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the closing date of the merger.

The total transaction value is approximately $2.6 billion, based on Andrew's estimated 176 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, which includes shares associated with Andrew's existing convertible notes.

CommScope expects to fund the cash portion of the purchase price through a combination of new credit facilities and available cash on hand. CommScope has obtained customary fully underwritten debt financing commitment letters from Bank of America and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (and their respective affiliates).

Following completion of the transaction, CommScope plans to reduce leverage by continuing to grow its historically strong cash flow, improving the combined company's operational performance, and by identifying and selectively divesting non-core or underperforming assets during the first year after completion. CommScope expects to grow its earnings per share through a combination of increased top-line performance, operational improvements and debt reduction.

Approvals and Timing

The companies expect to close the transaction by the end of 2007, subject to completion of customary closing conditions, including effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4, approval by Andrew's shareholders, clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and any other applicable laws or regulations. The transaction is not conditioned on receipt of financing by CommScope.

Advisors

Banc of America Securities LLC is acting as financial advisor to CommScope and Duff & Phelps LLC provided a fairness opinion to CommScope. Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, Baker & McKenzie LLP and Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson, P.A. are acting as CommScope's legal counsel. Citi is acting as the primary financial advisor to Andrew, and Merrill Lynch provided a fairness opinion. Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP is acting as Andrew's primary outside legal counsel.

Savi Networks and Emprevi 'Go Live' With Automated Network That Secures and Tracks Colombian Cargo ShipmentsRadio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based Information Network Improves Supply Chain Security, Visibility, and Management

BOGOTA, Colombia, June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- During ceremonies yesterday sponsored by the U.S. Embassy, Savi Networks and Emprevi Ltda. officially launched the first Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based information network operating in South America that automatically tracks the location and security status of cargo shipments from in-country factories to sea ports. The event signified the transition from a pilot testing phase to full operational production of the information network.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060109/NYM086LOGO )

Emprevi, a Colombia-based provider of logistics and security services for major importers and exporters, contracted with Savi Networks to build the information network. The network extends between Emprevi's customers' manufacturing facilities, intermediate transportation checkpoints and ports. Real-time "actionable visibility" provided by Savi's web-hosted, transportation security software helps to cut administrative costs, improve inventory management, decrease safety stock, and reduce the potential for drug trafficking and smuggling, theft, loss, or terrorist intrusions.

"With Savi Networks, we are going live with a fully operational network that leverages the most advanced information and security technologies to give our customers best-of-breed logistics and security services," said Mauricio Barberan Canas, President of Emprevi. "We have rigorously tested and validated the Savi Networks' information system, and now offer it as a value-added service to our customers in the pharmaceutical and healthcare, consumer product goods, food and beverage, transportation and logistics services industries."

"Savi Networks is providing Emprevi and its customers with greater actionable visibility to improve decision-making as well as safeguard global shipments moving in and out of Colombia," said Vic Verma, chief executive officer of Savi Networks. "We plan to expand the network footprint in Colombia, and to integrate it with SaviTrak(TM), our worldwide information network so that Emprevi's customers can have end-to-end visibility of their shipments throughout the global supply chain."

The network of readers capture data transmitted over radio waves from RFID-based e-Seals affixed to containers, and route the information to the transportation security software. In addition to ongoing location and security status information, the software also provides automated alerts on security breaches and other exceptions that users can receive via their emails, cell phones, or PDAs. The network is built on an open technology platform that is compatible with ISO standard 18000-7 for active RFID devices and ISO standard 18185 for electronic container security devices, both operating at the 433.92 MHz radio frequency.

Emprevi is a 100 percent Colombian owned and operated company with more than 20 years of experience in the management and prevention of logistics risks. Emprevi's services have been a fundamental part of the logistics strategy of important multinationals, incorporating deep logistics knowledge, experience and advanced technologies. Clients include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Gillette, Cadbury Adams, DHL Danzas, NYK Logistics, and Eagle Logistics.

Savi Networks, the operator of a global network providing real-time information services on in-transit inventory, is a joint venture between Savi Technology, Inc., a Lockheed Martin company [NYSE: LMT], and Hutchison Port Holdings.

Microsoft Technical Fellow Keynotes on the Reinvention of ComputingMicrosoft's high-performance computing business gains adoption across industries.

DRESDEN, Germany, June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fresh off the revelation that Microsoft(R) high-performance computing (HPC) technologies are being widely adopted by customers, software and hardware partners, a technical leader from Microsoft Corp. today discussed how the foundations of computer science and engineering must be reinvented to deal with the mass-market adoption of processors with many computing cores.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

In a keynote address at the International Supercomputing Conference in Dresden, Germany, Microsoft technical fellow Dr. Burton Smith talked about new approaches to software development where everyday computer programs must be able to execute in parallel on multiple microprocessor cores, allowing developers to build more powerful, humanistic software applications that incorporate speech, conversation, rich visualization and anticipatory execution of tasks. The many-core inflection point was presented as a new challenge for the computing industry, namely general-purpose parallel computing.

"Our industry and the universities must work together to reinvent not only computing, but also the computing profession," Dr. Smith said. "The coming years will fundamentally reshape software and transform the way people use and interact with computers. In order for consumers to enjoy performance improvements in the future, mass-market technology providers will have to embrace parallel computing to differentiate and compete. It's vital that software and hardware adapt to new models of computing."

Dr. Smith urged commercial vendors to work with the academic and scientific communities to spur the next wave of discovery by creating software, tools and standards to help overcome existing barriers to parallel computing.

Broad Market Adoption for Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003

Since general availability in August 2006, Microsoft Windows(R) Compute Cluster Server (CCS) 2003 has been adopted in financial services, manufacturing, the oil and gas industry, digital content creation, and biosciences, with HPC cluster deployments ranging in size from distributed departmental clusters to shared clusters as large as 7,000 nodes. Recent customers include aQuantive, Areva Challenge, BAE Systems, Boeing, Bombardier Transportation GmbH, Callaway Golf Co., DALCO/Alinghi, Fraunhofer-Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (Pty) Ltd. (PBMR), South Florida Water Management District and UniCredit Group (HVB).

In particular, Microsoft has seen strong adoption of Windows Compute Cluster Server within the financial services industry. For the Markets and Investment Banking division of UniCredit Group, one of the largest European banking groups, its structured derivatives business turned to Windows Compute Cluster Server to speed up pricing and risk-management applications, and simplify development and cluster management.

"We like the idea of Microsoft .NET as a full product family, the support for diverse programming languages, the excellent interoperability with Excel(R) and the higher developer productivity," said Andreas Kokott, responsible director for the strategy of the structured derivatives platform within Markets and Investment Banking, UniCredit Group. "The idea is to have the most standardized IT environment possible so that managing the cluster is just part of the normal workflow for IT personnel. The complexity should only be in the algorithms, not in the infrastructure."

In addition to large clusters, Windows Compute Cluster Server has also been adopted in departmental clusters to enable greater engineering productivity. In Kassel, Germany, Bombardier Transportation is using high-performance computing to perform comprehensive rail-vehicle crash analysis, which is required to comply with international standards. Based on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 and running Livermore Software Technology Corp.'s (LSTC) LS-DYNA application, this solution helped the company to satisfy the new extended regulations while still being able to meet project time schedules. High performance, competitive pricing and simplified implementation were the reasons Bombardier Transportation decided on Windows Compute Cluster Server.

"We were right in the middle of a customer project and needed a solution quickly; Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 was the answer for us," said Hans-Jorg Dittmann, manager specialist engineering, Bombardier Transportation. "With Windows CCS, we are able to quickly do complex analysis computations and achieve shorter development cycles, without having exorbitant costs for the HPC solution."

In Centurion, South Africa, the employees of PBMR are using HPC to process and simulate highly complex finite element analysis and structural integrity tests using the MSC.Marc application from MSC.Software Corp. PBMR, which is developing the world's first Generation IV nuclear reactor, chose to run Windows CCS for its cluster because the Windows platform combines the performance and productivity needed to meet aggressive project timelines at the reactor.

"The Windows-based HPC environment has proven to be extremely reliable and provides for intuitive administration because we can leverage Active Directory(R) and our in-house skills," said Faure Louw, group leader of the Structural Analysis team at PBMR. "Flexible and efficient job scheduling via Windows CCS has allowed more of our employees to utilize the HPC cluster resources, which frees up time of professionals to focus on increasing their productivity."

Microsoft is also working with software partners across industries to facilitate the next wave of discovery. The following partners have publicly released applications that run on, or interoperate with, Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003:

-- Altair Engineering Inc. -- HyperWorks, RADIOSS SPMD v5 -- ANSYS Inc. -- ANSYS 11.0 and FLUENT 6.3 -- BioTeam Inc. -- iNquiry -- CD-adapco Group -- Star-CD, Star-CCM+ -- Computer Modelling Group Ltd. -- IMEX, GEM and STARS, Builder, Results, WinProp -- Dassault Systemes -- Abacus -- Decisioneering Inc. -- Crystal Ball -- ESI Group -- PAM-STAMP 2G, PAM-CRASH 2G -- LSTC -- LS-DYNA -- The MathWorks Inc. -- MATLAB -- MSC.Software Corp. -- MD Nastran, SimOffice, Marc, Dytran -- Parallel Geoscience Corp. -- SPW -- PipeLine FX LLC -- Qube! -- Platform Computing Inc. -- LSF -- Schlumberger Ltd. -- ECLIPSE, GigaViz -- Software CRADLE Co. Ltd. -- SC/Tetra, STREAM -- SPT Group -- MEPO -- Visual Numerics Inc. -- IMSL Numerical Library in C, C# and Fortran -- Wolfram Research Inc. -- Mathematica6, gridMathematica

At the same time, major system vendors from around the world are shipping integrated solutions based on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. These vendors include Bull SAS, Dell Inc., Equus, Fujitsu Ltd., HP, HPC Systems Inc., IBM Corp., NEC Corp., SGI, Supermicro Computer Inc., TeamHPC (a division of M&A Technology), Tyan Computer Corp., and Visual Technologies Inc.

Windows-Based Supercomputers Make Top 500 List

Illustrating the ability of Windows to deliver productivity with scalability and performance, Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 appeared on the computing industry's semiannual top 500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers, released earlier today.

Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 served as the underlying operating system for a new HPC cluster at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, which is a part of one of the largest financial services institutions in Japan. Its expanding derivatives business will leverage a Windows-based clustering to enhance risk-management practices and reduce simulation times. Mitsubishi UFJ Securities chose the Microsoft Windows platform because of the power, familiarity, and ease-of-development in Microsoft Visual Studio(R) 2005 and Visual C++(R). Its top 500 benchmark on Windows Compute Cluster Server was run on a 448-node IBM BladeCenter HS21 cluster with 1,760 processors, and placed at 193 on the top 500 list. The benchmark result of 6.52 trillion computations per second (teraflops) demonstrates the power of the advanced simulation environment that will enable the pricing, risk management and product development of its derivatives offering. The result marks one of the top supercomputers for the financial services industry.

Windows Compute Cluster Server also served as the underlying operating system for a new HPC cluster at Microsoft's datacenter in Tukwila, Wash., which ranked 106 in the top 500. This system achieved 8.99 teraflops on 256 compute nodes and 2,048 processing cores of 64-bit Intel Xeon 5300 quad-core processors, powering Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade servers and Cisco infiniband switches.

To achieve this result, Microsoft ran the benchmark over Windows Compute Cluster Server using a Microsoft Excel 2007 add-in created specifically to drive all the parameters and results required of the top 500 LINPACK benchmark. The Excel 2007 workbook contains all the necessary data needed to perform the LINPACK benchmark. This Excel add-in will be available within 90 days at http://windowshpc.net/default.aspx.

Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

Tektronix Successfully Tests World's Fastest, Longest Infiniband Cable from Intel100 Meter Intel(R) Connects Cable Provides 20 Gb/s Throughput

BEAVERTON, Ore., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tektronix, Inc. , a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring solutions, announced that the company has successfully validated the performance of the new Intel 100 meter Infiniband cable operating at speeds up to 20 Gb/s. The world's longest InfiniBand optical cable has an electrical interface on either end and uses four serial data lanes at 5 Gb/s each. The cable will be useful in accelerating the performance of large computing clusters. The cables will be used as the part of the backbone network at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) show in Dresden, Germany.

The need for accelerating performance -- greater bandwidth and speed -- continues to grow whether to drive graphics where the CPU, graphics subsystem, and the memory must move data constantly as the image moves or creating ever faster supercomputing backplanes to help unlock the riddles of high energy physics. To keep pace, information busses -- the data conduits between electronic components -- will continue to grow wider and move data faster. The new Infiniband cable from Intel is the newest proof point.

"We are happy to have been able to validate the performance of the longest and fastest Infiniband cables in the industry from Intel," said Lynne Camp, vice president, Performance Plus Instruments, Tektronix. "As multi-gigabit data rates become common in digital systems, signal integrity -- the quality of the signal necessary for proper operation of an integrated circuit -- is becoming a paramount concern for designers. Tektronix was able to meet the exacting demands of this test by using instrumentation from our next generation serial data test bench."

"Tektronix is well recognized as being expert in signal integrity with proven knowledge in addressing complex, high-speed measurements and analysis," said Tuan Phamdo, Intel Technology Enabling Manager and Co-Chair of the IBTA Compliance Working Group. "This experience coupled with a strong focus on addressing leading and emerging serial data technologies made them an ideal choice for assisting Intel with the testing of the new Intel Connects Cables. Their engineers and expertise were a tremendous help in performing the final validation."

The Infiniband cable test specification requires that a signal with a specific impairment is provided from a signal source. This was done using the Tektronix AWG7102 Arbitrary Waveform Generator transmitting a test pattern at 5 Gb/s. The signal impairment is created using the Tektronix Direct Synthesis method. Direct synthesis is a flexible and repeatable method for creating ideal or impaired waveforms that are then directly synthesized by the Tektronix AWG7000 series of arbitrary waveform generators. The AWG is capable of providing precise, programmable impaired signals up to 6 Gb/s, providing a unique solution for both cable tests and receiver tests in high speed serial links.

On the eye diagram measurement side, a Tektronix DSA8200 sampling Digital Signal Analyzer was used to make the jitter and eye measurements. Advanced Jitter, Noise and BER Analysis Software (JNB) was used to analyze the BER of the cable down to the cable's 10-15 BER specification.

"Tektronix has been a participant in the InfiniBand ecosystem for a long time," said Jit Lim, Tektronix Technology Solutions Manager. "Since the early days of InfiniBand, we have been actively involved in the InfiniBand Compliance and Interoperability program and for years chaired the Compliance and Interoperability physical layer working group in the IBTA. When Intel came to us asking if we'd help launch their new SDR/DDR 100 Meter Intel Connects Cables, we were happy to verify the compliance of their cable per the InfiniBand specification. This technology is sure to substantially advance the high performance interconnect cable industry, as well as find its way into other high speed applications."

Tektronix has deep expertise with cable testing. Tektronix has been the industry leader in the characterization and compliance validation of SFF8470 cables since their initial release in 2002. Every SFF8470 cable that is certified in the industry today has received that certification using a Tektronix TDS/CSA/DSA 8200 based system. Tektronix has tested roughly 500 cables in the last 5 years. While generally known as an "InfiniBand" cable, a SFF8470 cable is also used in a number of other key technologies such as 10Gig Ethernet/XAUI, CX4, Fiber-Channel, SATA-M, and SAS-M.

Certicom Announces Security Builder API for Open SourceCerticom's cryptographic plug-in allows OpenSSL applications to be Suite B and FIPS compliant

MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Certicom (TSX: CIC) today announced Security Builder API for Open Source to help OpenSSL developers easily add elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to their applications. The SSL shim, or abstraction layer, allows developers to plug SSL applications into Certicom's software cryptographic providers that include elliptic curve and Suite B algorithms as well as a pre-approved FIPS-140-2 cryptographic module.

The small size of ECC algorithms is the main driver behind its growing popularity in both commercial and government sectors. This efficiency (more security per bit) offers performance improvements with little impact on battery life and memory. For example, the use of 224-bit ECC in OpenSSL could increase performance by 3x on Apache Web Servers, resulting in 3x as many transactions being processed in a given timeframe(1). OpenSSL is the security layer used by Apache Web Server, the most dominant Web server on the Internet.

The efficiency of ECC also results in a longer cryptographic life span, which was one of the main drivers behind the National Security Agency (NSA) identifying ECC-based security mechanisms in Suite B, the recommended guidelines for protecting government communications.

"ECC offers tremendous performance and security advantages and we're providing an easy way for developers to add it to their SSL application without the need to re-code," said Jim Alfred, director of product management at Certicom.

Security Builder API for Open Source is a cost-effective way for OpenSSL developers to support ECC, including Suite B algorithms, and be FIPS 140-2 compliant. Pricing depends on the customer's platform requirements and includes developer licenses, royalties, and support services. It is available immediately.
