Edgewater Networks, Inc. Wins 2010 Spiffy Award for Best Fixed Telecom Opportunity

Edgewater Networks is honored by Global Telecom Service Providers for Best Fixed Telecom Opportunity in 2010

Santa Clara, CA March 15, 2010—Edgewater Networks, Inc. announced today that they have received the Core Spiffy award from the Service Provider members of the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley. The council honored 7 young telecom companies for their innovation, execution, management, and technologies at the annual SPIFFY Awards last week in Palo Alto, California.

Members of the Service Provider Forum (SPIF) reviewed over 100+ start-up companies at local Telecom Council meetings throughout 2009. Competition for these awards is fierce since all start-ups are screened by Telecom Council Steering Committees before they are selected to present to the SPIF or other Telecom Council forum meetings. Start-ups who present have been identified as having ideas, relevance, and traction that most appeal to our carriers from around the globe.

“Edgewater Networks is an exciting company with products that address many of the security, quality of service and monitoring issues that the Council’s 20+ global carrier members experience in their converged voice, video and data networks,” said Liz Kerton, President of The Telecom Council.

The Edgewater Networks Solution consists of the EdgeMarc Family of Network Services Gateways, EdgeConnect managed Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches, EdgeView VoIP Support tool and the EdgeView Reports server. EdgeMarc Network Services Gateways are flexible, all-in-one devices that reduce cost and simplify the deployment of converged voice, video and data services for enterprises and service providers.
