Andrew Corporation was an American wireless communications infrastructure equipment company. Its business focused on antennas, radio-frequency transmission equipment, and related products used in mobile communications networks. As cellular networks expanded, the company developed a specialist equipment business serving operators and network-buildout customers. CommScope acquired Andrew in 2007. Following completion of the transaction, Andrew ceased to operate as an independent company and its related products and technologies were integrated into CommScope’s wireless networks business.
