  About Us


  

For over three decades, Comsearch has been the pre-eminent global provider of spectrum management and wireless engineering products and services. Our solutions focus on key areas of spectrum management including frequency planning and administration, monitoring and interference measurements, wireless engineering, and strategic consultation. Our experienced engineers, software products, and information databases address the specific challenges of network design and spectrum management for the commercial and government wireless industries.

Comsearch was founded in 1977 to address the coordination needs of the developing microwave network companies such as MCI Telecommunications and AT&T. In 1989, Comsearch was purchased by Alliance Telecommunications Corporation and simultaneously merged with Spectrum Planning, Inc. of Dallas. This merger combined the spectrum management expertise of Comsearch with the mobile and wireless experience of Spectrum Planning. In 1992, Comsearch was purchased by The Allen Group of Cleveland, and we were included into their consortium of telecommunications companies known as the Allen Telecom Group. In 2003, Andrew Corporation acquired Allen Telecom. The combined company resulted in the premier global supplier of coaxial cables, RF power amplifiers, terrestrial microwave antennas, network geolocation solutions, repeaters and in-building systems, filters and base station antennas.

In, 2007, CommScope, Inc. (NYSE: CTV), acquired Andrew Corporation ("CommScope-Andrew: Better Together."). CommScope is a world leader in infrastructure solutions for communication networks, structured cabling systems for business enterprise applications, manufacturer of coaxial cable for broadband cable television networks, and one of the leading North American providers of environmentally secure cabinets for DSL and FTTN applications. As part of the new CommScope, Comsearch retains our brand name and is able to provide total end-to-end solutions.

Comsearch is the industry leader in spectrum management including frequency analysis and licensing, protection, sharing, and field services. We offer full life cycle engineering, including program management, network planning, RF engineering, site development, equipment installation and testing, system optimization and performance evaluations, and site audits. We support both commercial and government customers in all wireless communications technologies, including PCS, AWS, cellular, microwave, satellite, fixed wireless, and broadband.

Comsearch has engineered over 300,000 microwave paths for more than 5,000 customers worldwide. Our customers include Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Verizon, MetroPCS, Dobson Cellular, Harris, Hughes Space & Communications, Booz Allen Hamilton, ITT, Microsoft, Nokia, Vodafone, AT&T, KPN, Sprint, and several government agencies.
