Andrew, the CommScope Inc. division that focuses on communications products and systems, has won Nokia Siemens Networks' Outstanding Contributor to Product Quality Award for its support of the global infrastructure provider in the Asia Pacific region.
Andrew was one of eight companies among Nokia Siemens Networks' top 40 suppliers to be honored at Nokia Siemens Networks Supplier Innovation Awards Day 2008 in Singapore, and one of only two vendors recognized specifically in the area of product and service quality. Andrew was chosen for the product quality award for its introduction of smoothwall aluminum feeder cables, and in improving installation tools to meet domestic tower site conditions in Asia-Pacific.
Ben Cardwell, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Asia Pacific, and Jordon Zhu, international business development sales manager, accepted the award on behalf of Andrew.

In this dynamic market, business objectives are ever-changing, and it is our goal to provide superior customer satisfaction as one of Nokia Siemens Networks preferred solutions providers," says Cardwell.
Andrew and CommScope have had long-standing relationships with Nokia and Siemens, respectively, over the past decade before the two companies consolidated their networks business group and carrier-related operations in 2007.
Basil Byrne, head of Services Procurement, APAC, Nokia Siemens Networks, says, "Delivering quality products and innovative solutions to our customers is part of Nokia Siemens Networks' core values. Andrew and CommScope have demonstrated that it is aligned with our values, and we have recognized it as one of our trusted partners with this award."
