Amphenol set to acquire CommScope’s broadband unit in $10.5B deal
Amphenol Corp. is nearing a deal to acquire CommScope Holding’s broadband connectivity business for approximately $10.5 billion, including debt, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal. The acquisition would significantly expand Amphenol’s footprint in the fiber-optic and broadband infrastructure markets, aligning with growing global demand for high-speed internet connectivity. CommScope has been restructuring its operations and selling assets to reduce debt and refocus its business. The broadband unit includes critical last-mile assets that connect homes and businesses to networks.
This potential deal signals ongoing consolidation in the telecom and infrastructure sector, aiming to meet rising broadband demand worldwide.
