FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

                      COMMSCOPE TO MEET WITH INVESTORS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HICKORY, NC -- (MARCH 16, 2005) CommScope, Inc. (NYSE: CTV) executives plan
to meet with investors in New York City today to discuss the company's
recent performance, its competitive strengths and long-term opportunities.

CommScope Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frank M. Drendel plans to
tell investors that he believes the Company is strongly positioned for
future opportunity. He also plans to tell investors that he is optimistic
about first quarter 2005 performance.

"February 2005 sales were stronger than we anticipated," stated Drendel.
"In addition, our previously announced price increases have somewhat offset
rising material costs. As a result, we now believe that our sales and
operating performance will be near the top of our previous first-quarter
2005 guidance, which was sales around $280-$300 million and operating
margin in the 1%-2% range, excluding special charges."

CommScope has not changed its financial guidance for calendar year 2005,
which was sales of $1.2-$1.3 billion and operating margin of 5.0%-5.5%,
excluding special charges.
