Nomination affirms a market leading position in wireless infrastructure as the company brings WLAN and point-to-point products to market
LOS GATOS, Calif. -- Firetide announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 North America award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from the North American business region.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across North America. Finalists for the 2011 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health.
"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "The global economic situation has abated and there are many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Firetide shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the Finalists."
Firetide is the leader in wireless infrastructure mesh technology for demanding public safety "crime camera" applications, and has been ranked as #1 private company in wireless mesh used for video surveillance in the Americas by IMS Research. To expand on its leadership position in infrastructure mesh, Firetide has recently introduced a family of point-to-point bridges and video-optimized WLAN solution, including 802.11n access points and WLAN controller.
"It's an honor to be recognized as a top technology company, and as innovators in the wireless industry. It's not surprising, since we continue to invest over 30% of revenues in R&D," said Bo Larsson, CEO of Firetide. "No other company in the space offers an end-to-end product portfolio, capable of supporting metro-wide all-wireless infrastructures, from backhaul to Wi-Fi access. Our team has worked very hard this year, and the results speak for themselves."
The Finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring North America Forum in Hollywood, California, June 13-15, 2011. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony the evening of June 15 at the event.
