CommScope has received a special public service award
from CableFAX magazine in recognition of the company’s
efforts in assisting customers impacted by the tornados that
struck several areas of the United States earlier this year.
CableFAX announced the award in its July issue, which
also listed the other 2011 Top Ops Award winners.
“On behalf of every employee at CommScope, I’d like
to thank CableFAX for this honor,” said Eddie Edwards,
president and chief executive officer, CommScope.
“We believe that corporate responsibility means taking
actions that have a positive impact on our people, our
community and our business. We are extremely humbled
that the magazine would bestow this accolade upon us
as we strive for strong corporate governance and good
citizenship.”
CableFAX honored CommScope for its quick response
in shipping fiber optic and co-axial cable, as well as
humanitarian aid, to Cable One in Joplin, MO following
a major tornado that devastated the entire town in May.
CommScope was able to deliver supplies and aid within
48 hours to enable Cable One to begin restoring
communications.
As part of CommScope’s deliveries, any available space
remaining on the trucks was filled with humanitarian aid
such as water coolers, provisions, generators and blankets
for those in the hardest-hit areas.
In addition to assisting Cable One in Joplin, the Cable
Transport teams were also dispatched to assist Charter
Communications after tornados damaged areas of
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee in April.
