Commscope Hldg Co Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) and Comcast have announced successful nationwide deployment of DOCSIS 4.0 Full Duplex (FDX) amplifiers across all Comcast markets, enabling multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds for millions of homes using existing connections.
