In Omaha, Nebraska CommScope plans to lay off 110 of its 500 employees at connectivity solutions manufacturing facility. The lay offs will occur in March and reduce the facility’s workforce to fewer than 400. CommScope is a supplier of coaxial cable, sells cabinets for DSL and FTTN applications and radio frequency subsystem solutions for wireless networks. Worldwide CommScope has 11,500 employees.
