that expansion kind share center interconnect -- is you Just think do that advantage market? is to more that that where ability take gain you in that and upon of an expanding there's data gains think Is where Just are of to opportunities? share possible.

another that the we're in and And continuing area this trajectory? Sure. bullish to demand would that space. it's one going of And Thank as talk of you, Meta. That investment several gets growth million to a us over $XXX forward. we're really XX% this year-over-year We're this hearing anything XX% key CommScope in, on demand is about really revenue. next for change range players years. customers, we're we major the growth a investing And seeing not we're the indicate in

some And the interconnect. some opportunities of center then on of data it. on kind the of just Got

traditionally you had to think but introduce are kind plans market, in market? not I have that within products products guys of that there

No. data more We're centers. operating the specifically inside

next of Our comes from Leopold James. question Simon Raymond the with line

thought meaningful I'm you begin in of then a you got quarter the about with my around I describing shipments what increases confused but XXXX. FDX talked said notes into you're happening I bit guess amplifiers FDX down, Comcast, of little fourth substantial I if shipments will in small ANS within the segment.

sort So where wasn't we rollout? the I of on FDX stand sure

the you versions? the amplifiers are volume of there kind on the see awaiting FDX And timing further ESD? what unified for unified supporting as if shipments both also do operators and then of amplifiers, so, And

Yes. nodes starting the significant as to amplifiers I'll of to FDX be ramp-up in amount well the a the ANS And starting the slower and we're the start. just year. of to to nodes with amplifiers, ship FDX in we're FDX at beginning ship more going but a so the -- related see nodes, to we're XXXX going starting are start the to quarter. It's amplifiers quarter, in fourth going more fourth

receive already, and orders that they're expecting have for We to those.

Related unified, so. waiting we on is that, for don't believe anybody

We we'll of seeing have we're conversations one anything. down now, customers. it many slow with But not available Unified in our right and haven't that when customers need seen is that it. options,

please. just quarter, Appreciate from quick that of get that. And connectivity. coming XX% update Could was you metric, then on Last a us told metric? that CCS data revenue center we an

it through changed. of hasn't generally It distribution. Yes. some goes I mean

a CCS always from but the number, continue we it's the data XX% of not to it's comes XX% So center to say revenue perfect market. that

with the comes line Daryanani Evercore. question next from Amit of Our

like guess up then on had the post like basis EBITDA growth have dollars folks core I year-over-year this and -- XX%. quarter X% revenue you were

help like versus expansion from the talk So just benefits especially how sales dollar EBITDA or some of margin from much the can wondered you you think leverage, just is about CCS CommScope in couple about of as just NEXT? would you what's NEXT perspective you understand quarters savings And at left a next helpful. then of from really CommScope be the can think us maybe

that take I'll Okay. one.

a business. those think I business cost the get component the a EBITDA each we're CCS. number to in want also that, amount that I margins I of And on is seeing the So don't is that as favorable think as think of that the business particular, about and some a it's think margins, we've a mix we I we're have then little costs CCS the in there we definitely then I grow And put there's margin, that I getting of one just higher bit EBITDA leverage products think grows. but we fair as think the out contributing taken of combination to

to was opportunities identified XX our the years couple step think about last take the to months now. doing I think have out. reflective back cost ago, a us for of the CommScope that's margins over as implemented nice we're EBITDA that GM done job I And on continue think a we posting think that teams NEXT, that. and model I And clearly, in

the continuous moving I we on think that improvement, think particularly side, is when a NEXT CommScope forward and with about cost program.

So not to I out the there's some come we business the business. we've for think probably already, do as we us about I what that out, think think like seen as feel cost opportunity cost manage much improve there's to but as continually continue to of more

to if if more about a back talked bit sales. I then that to folks you And CapEx Maybe much the little just if how about just trying would about million segment clarify capacity, say just think touch I you you can incremental And you that? dollars go need just it. think that incrementally also got then of CapEx incremental have do you Got I correct. to be. where equate drive adding would capacity how CCS to what on adding $XXX I'm could

quarter drive increase. December the capacity this like Sounds in to

Yes, do at $XX about investment I a think that. capacity the the to high we're we're talking million talking $XX latest -- to million level, spending about

way those years. capital without these mean and expand those each I the not about on investments that are capacity numbers very one you think I things of best are to in is CapEx months paybacks specific think accretive. giving quarters, So center the the data the to the we market very, make

invest capacity, very investment. So that on as to strong expect payback we'd we get that

with of question JPMorgan. Our Chatterjee the line comes from Samik next

on I'll well. Maybe CCS one as first the to stick

bit talk give when rates, between a revenue we the year-over-year adding, How growth of XX% of you're center And have of a in of the how should us terms of versus million you the of is does you versus divergence rate thinking I what data details the maybe the growth of two? look about $XXX fully sort carriers? can out? that data in between you seeing capacity you are had a how filled more in think customers, about growth are terms You when between much you quarter sort follow-up. allocation sort And of itself, terms carriers in center revenue there if

growth our provide of seeing going not in say prepared would data the all detailed from think to the But we're I centers. the growth Yes, on business. lot that as within coming year-to-year remarks, we is in in what I XX% a said CCS that numbers CCS we're is

and sequential we've yet yet. a of broadband side market as on and stabilize business, growth well. we're on business year-over-year broadband as of of been lot see to business an the little the the outside seen business, have that in do a the the inventory, On business, other our of haven't normalized the we has part then center that the at channel but seeing And have growth, starting in data in enterprise business with -- the inventories year-over-year business we copper a up basis,

We've we I broadband the think some center it to So flat the to year-over-year strong continues in business relatively and the about the think growth business is in got way copper in be CCS. have growth very business. data

you million. number right. I just want $XXX more the The sure to million data center heard revenue, not make in investment $XXX is did we

Okay.

Okay.

data Sorry. between carriers center it fill you out? But $XXX and any when million the sort that thoughts customers on how of looks

data -- center different investment. centers It's data

Okay. my this Got for for is And Kyle, then you. maybe and more follow-up, it.

moved the to costs you to So the correctly? that in core about talking XXXX, also stranded of core allocated the on but release seems implication on a a get year-over-year corporate strong understanding be where the cost how or focus will be press I'm segment, the the basis, to headwind OWN if to there that numbers, EBITDA much the would part of a growth you're

year-over-year we're or through probably think on a mean, on I million it's minus annual basis well. modeling But an I I $XX for cost basis plus stranded working still purposes, that. think as a number

from Steven next Advisors. the of Our question with Fox comes Fox line

questions. of couple I had a

wondering on margins I a us if help little you could EBITDA off, bit. reset was First

the looking business, maybe all are levels versus I a models. have case to normalized is kind Can you at follow-up. of potential high give very you over or on sort us in where the expansion rightsize the us sequential divestitures And either trends for help opportunity sense for a of the the then of historicals. core at CCS planned versus map Just the

I'll Yes. it of sort by business. take

bit I lot we some business, seen And there, think a talked on the CCS clearly. a little about the in growth fourth of quarter. we've moderation I think

Some is mix driven. more of that

I I an into don't going think we're to for think I 'XX there's changes to and margins forward continue improve but step-function see like think ability seen to move as from beyond, 'XX 'XX. EBITDA we there, we've us to

So see there. improvement more I think we'll modest

I think ANS we both move the NICS businesses the in strong and to and as are would because grow. down, just expect improvement pretty recover business, see we revenues into 'XX and the

I EBITDA think businesses. in we'd expect much stronger margins X those growth on

But can that any us next year, on looks sense and for what have but... on the the margins ANS NICS you normal give EBITDA like like

back Yes. [indiscernible]. we get I in in seeing 'XX 'XX to we probably in I those mean, were what and think can numbers

you that is backlog do think I'm billion. level of a I comfort just How to versus $X.XX or the with the a quarter? sales on forgot in core then sales And the backlog, Why trying [indiscernible] the mentioned, we million the that basis? given that about number, just on which the Great. versus normal get the go-forward $XXX-plus reasonable

cases, about it think CCS capacity issues. supply by issues as in And think is said a A over NICS of we've I in years, the we of backlog periods, mean we've business around of driven that I particularly backlog last sort in and business. 'XX our have lot was the talked some that. backlog, chain Yes. and 'XX then I looked lot couple we and our what of as constraint

backlogs back sort supply business I during is look think COVID see from of this off backlogs before, further back massive challenges all of perspective time. a levels out. have the not shipping a a back to that off the pushed As where when I that normalized. in think These and constraints resolved, look would lead someone that trending, the and we businesses go I work And mean get historically are weeks basis, of and be these that those had of was of to I and go backlog business and the lead period, we we things what we're sort chain time are couple the that think historically, when that of we we that now business we're orders, at businesses weeks. works at consider

Our Savageaux from question Markets. the with Capital comes line of Northland Tim last

to maybe question and follow-up. wanted I a a

First, seeing the quarter. from big fiber And on in carrier last I what think particular, made quarter hearing U.S. about so that but what you're positive. of in builds standpoint, the terms maybe is we're of carriers, some this of some out about pretty demand you side stabilizing a comments less
