ELKHART, IN, February 11, 2008- Ceragon Networks has selected MapleNet Wireless (http://www.maplenetwireless.com/) to receive its "Best VAR" award for 2007. The award is presented each year to the top value added reseller in North America. This year, MapleNet was selected due to the company's sales volume of over $1 million, its development of new opportunities and its commitment to installation standards. Ceragon's packet microwave solutions, FibeAir® IP-MAX and IP-MAX2 are designed to provide a fast reliable Ethernet transmission solution for mobile, WiMAX, private and metro area networks. MapleNet Wireless has been actively specifying and installing Ceragon equipment since 2004.
"Ceragon has been the leading solution in our portfolio for some time now," said Gene Cruise, President and CEO of MapleNet Wireless. "We are honored by Ceragon's recognition of our sales efforts, and we will continue in our commitment to offering Ceragon as an innovative and powerful solution to our clients."
Ceragon Networks presented the award during its fourth annual Strategic VAR's Meeting at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Gene Crusie, Steve Carender and Michael Hutter from MapleNet Wireless attended.
MapleNet Wireless has focused its engineering and construction efforts on a number of key vertical markets, including healthcare, utilities and education. As each of these segments transition to higher capacity solutions, MapleNet Wireless has promoted Ceragon's FibeAir IP-MAX2 because of its performance characteristics and on-demand bandwidth.
In 2008, MapleNet Wireless anticipates that the market will increase for backhaul solutions for several national WiMAX roll-outs. As next generation WiMAX networks are implemented, service providers will require ever-increasing amounts of bandwidth. Wireless solutions can offer high capacity capacity, low latency and a rapid deployment timeframe, which can align wireless well with the construction strategies of the early entrants into the WiMAX playing field.
