GEC NEWS WIREThere were two most notable trends that enveloped the technology sector on both global and regional levels. The first was the revival of Artificial Intelligence due to the rising popularity of generative AI applications. The other has been a focus on making technology much more sustainable and help nations achieve their ambitious net-zero carbon targets.
The region prioritized digital transformation with increased investment in smart cities, innovation hubs, and e-commerce. This transformation aligned with our developments, such as the RUCKUS R770 platform committed to delivering the best possible performance in the most challenging environments through Wi-Fi 7. In 2023, the Middle East was committed to sustainability through tech-driven solutions, marking a pivotal year for economic growth and technological infrastructure enhancement, and our product developments supported that vision.
AI and Human Collaboration: Shaping the Future Workforce
AI helps automate and streamline routine processes freeing up humans to do the more creative roles, in a way augmenting them.
At CommScope, we believe that data and AI are integral to powering smart projects, and utilise it in several of our products and solutions such as RUCKUS One which allows enterprises to easily manage a converged network through an AI-driven network. Rather than replacing human roles, AI is seen as a collaborative tool, fostering new job opportunities and skill development.
Sustainability in Tech: A Global Movement
In 2023, the tech sector globally, including the Middle East, emphasized sustainability. Initiatives such as Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia or Net Zero 2050 in the UAE highlighted the region’s active movement towards sustainability. Our stance aligns with this commitment, as we are dedicated to reducing the network carbon footprint. We have an experienced team of solution architects and field engineers that help CommScope’s customers make the best choices to reduce and reuse materials to maximize density, improve efficiency and ensure longevity.
Global Impact through Technology
At CommScope we strive to use our products and solutions to help address real-world challenges. Especially in healthcare, where modern hospitals and other associate organisations rely more and more on network infrastructure, to ensure a secure, accurate, and reliable flow of information.
With the healthcare sector data security and privacy remain a critical challenge. And now with the growth of health-focused internet of things (IoT) devices and wearables, the adoption of telemedicine, clinical informatics, and rising healthcare data breaches have led to healthcare institutions investing in modernising their infrastructures.
At CommScope, we can provide the complete ecosystem of wired and wireless network solutions that ensure reliable and quick flow of data while making sure there is minimal risk to their data to empower the public and private hospitals. With our end-to-end copper, fiber cabling, WiFi6/6e networks to 5G in-building cellular platform, we deliver the network so healthcare providers can deliver the care to their patients.
Standout Product Launches: Trailblazing Solutions of 2023
2023 has been an eventful year for CommScope. We introduced new RUCKUS Networks solutions that together offer enterprises and service providers new ways to deploy, manage and operate the next generation of purpose-driven networks. The AI-driven RUCKUS One cloud native platform delivers network assurance, service delivery and business intelligence in a unified dashboard to simplify converged network management across multi-access public and private networks.
We unveiled the market’s leading enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 access point (AP)—the R770 from RUCKUS Networks. The platform will utilize the advanced capabilities of Wi-Fi 7 coupled with RUCKUS patented innovations to deliver the best possible performance in the most challenging environments of the industries we serve. This AI-driven solution, the newest member of the RUCKUS portfolio, provides an elevated option for purpose-driven networks.

The RUCKUS R770 platform is driven by RUCKUS AI, a cloud service for network assurance and business intelligence to enhance Wi-Fi 7 network resilience. RUCKUS AI simplifies network management by presenting key information to operators, improving network visibility, speeding up problem solving, meeting service level agreements (SLAs) and ensuring a seamless user experience.
We also introduced SYSTIMAX Constellation, our edge-based platform for connecting and powering tomorrow’s hyperconnected enterprise. The system combines fault-managed power, hybrid power/data fiber and ceiling-based “Constellation Points” in a star topology to connect a vast number of network devices and systems.
The ServAssure Profile Optimizer, an AI-based software product designed to improve the performance of broadband operators’ services was also launched in 2023. It helps operators increase network capacity and performance, enhance user experience and reduce operational expenditure (OPEX) through improved operation efficiencies and fewer customer calls. It utilizes millions of data points gathered from devices on operators’ access networks and feeds that data into an AI engine, which analyzes the information and generates DOCSIS 3.1 modulation profiles to enable improved stability and higher performance for broadband operators.
Also this year, we were honoured with 3 awards by the 2023 Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards recognising our SYSTIMAX Constellation edge-based platform for connecting and powering tomorrow’s hyperconnected enterprise; SYSTIMAX Propel, the modular, ultra-low-loss, high-speed fibre platform that effortlessly adapts needs, designs and speeds evolve; and one for our commitment to corporate sustainability. These awards not only showcased our commitment to technological excellence but also demonstrated our dedication to providing solutions that drive connectivity, efficiency, and sustainability in a rapidly advancing digital landscape.
