Corning Cable Systems Supplies Cabling Solution to BMW China

Shanghai, China — Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, announced today that BMW has chosen Corning’s tip-to-tip optical and copper solution for its China headquarters office network infrastructure.

The BMW China headquarters office occupies seven floors in the Beijing Jiachen Square Building. The project requires more than 4,000 optical and CAT6 shielded copper ports. Corning Cable Systems LANscape® Solution with high-performance Infinicor® OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber will be deployed for backbone connectivity. The products include patch panels, optical cable and UniCam® Quick- Mount Connectors. For horizontal connection, Corning will supply its CAT6
shielded copper low-smoke, zero-halogen cable with signal transmission based on 450 MHz technology. The combination of the OM3 optical backbone solution and CAT6 copper horizontal solution will provide BMW a highly reliable, safe and cost-effective network infrastructure.

T-Systems, a member of the Corning Cable Systems LANscape Solutions Extended WarrantySM Program, will be the general contractor for the cabling installation. TSystems has been in the local area network and data center infrastructure business for over 20 years and possesses extensive expertise in network design, deployment and services.
