It\u2019s a very natural overlay, when you have a ceiling open and you\u2019re doing an installation of structured cabling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The system is based on Redwood\u2019s technology, following CommScope\u2019s acquisition of that firm three years ago. Curran gave the example of a meeting room which can be booked through a system like Outlook \u2013 but with no way to tell whether the booker actually used the room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we can also help manage that system better by kicking a meeting room back into the queue of available space \u2013 or, even scoring people on how effective they are at utilising the space. This is an enormous cost in every market, and if companies can move their total meeting space down by 20-30% through tighter utilisation, this is an outstanding application \u2013 and one of the first we\u2019ll offer as part of Redwood,\u201d said Curran.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of office spaces, he said aviation was one of CommScope\u2019s main regional focuses: \u201cOur biggest global project is the midfield terminal building for Abu Dhabi Airport Company \u2013 this is a project our enterprise and wireless businesses are fully involved in. We\u2019re really thrilled to be part of this opportunity, and we have a longer-term vision to become an even stronger partner for ADAC, not only at Abu Dhabi Airport, but their other airport properties.\u201d    \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CommScope has announced a new LED lighting over network offering in a global launch yesterday, which it says will allow companies to gain greater insight into office space utilisation thanks to built-in sensor technology, writes Eliot Beer, Editorial Consultant, Lynchpin Media.
