CommScope’s Professional Services team will manage the upgrade of StackPath’s data centers — including the installation of new switches, power distribution units, and network cabling, as well as the decommissioning of equipment, asset tagging and recovery, bespoke packaging, logistics, and warehousing in preparation for future redeployment. The initial projects are scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of this year, with further growth planned into 2021.
