CommScope has announced worldwide availability of its Systimax Constellation edge-based power and connectivity platform, targeting enterprises managing dense networks of connected devices.

The system uses a simplified star architecture to distribute fault-managed power and 10G+ data connectivity to hundreds or thousands of devices from a central equipment room, eliminating the need for telecom closets on every floor. The platform supports mixed AC-DC power applications and multiple connectivity standards across IT and OT networks.

Systimax Constellation's topology divides a facility into multiple service areas, which are supported by a single Constellation point, with fiber cables running from the main equipment room to ceiling-mounted Constellation points.

The system delivers up to 1 kW of fault-managed power at distances up to 500 meters and 10G bandwidth using single-mode fiber. The platform's modular design allows incremental deployment, with each Constellation point supporting up to 50 devices via hybrid power/data fiber trunks and Cat 6A patch cords.

CommScope claims the system can reduce installation labor by over 50% compared to traditional structured cabling, while cutting copper usage by up to 59% and overall network embodied carbon by up to 40%.

“The Constellation platform enables our customers to support much denser urban centers and a proliferation of connected devices in their buildings,” said Luc Adriaenssens, VP in CommScope's building and campus solutions division.

“By offering a modular, technology-agnostic solution, we’re giving our global customers more choices for building connectivity and power to the network edge – and helping them do it in a way that’s cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable.”

The platform launch comes as CommScope is set to sell its connectivity and cable solutions segment to Amphenol in a deal worth $10.5 billion. The deal, which is expected to close within the first half of 2026, comes after the network infrastructure provider sold its mobile networks business to Amphenol for $2.1 billion back in 2024.
