communications technology categories, including voice, data networking, hosting, cloud services and managed services.

Winners of the 2018 Visionary Spotlight Awards demonstrate the best of the communications industry's overall innovation efforts, highlighting future-thinking execution and creativity. The annual awards recognize excellence in outstanding products, services and deployments across a broad range of communications technology categories, including voice, data networking, hosting, cloud services and managed services.

AireSpring products and services have been acknowledged in recent years as VSA award-winners in multiple categories including for Overall Excellence in Network Infrastructure Innovation in 2017, and for UC & VoIP Best Channel Deployment in 2016. AireSpring has been widely recognized for its managed services and custom engineered network with end-to-end quality of Service (QoS), including a variety of carrier networks and cable providers aggregated to create a unified platform. It adds up to a seamless support and billing structure across all of AireSpring’s datacenters in the United States.

“We believe that SD-WAN technology is changing the landscape of Enterprise WAN networks globally,” stated Daniel Lonstein, president and chief revenue officer (CRO) of AireSpring. “We have invested significant resources to ensure that our SD-WAN offerings are market leaders both in terms of technology and implementation. We realize that without the right implementation process, even the best technology will fail.  Our world class team has the experience and expertise to ensure successful outcomes. This award validates our commitment and investment in SD-WAN and other next generation technologies.”

AireSpring identifies these key areas that help its Platinum SD-WAN achieve its award-winning level of performance:

• Robust aggregation: AireSpring’s network architecture delivers priority performance for demanding applications through its agreements with 20-plus carriers and broadband providers. The result is multiple cloud connectivity options, in addition to the largest nationwide MPLS footprint.
• 3rd Party Vendor Support – AireSpring will proactively open repair tickets on behalf of customers for non-AireSpring internet circuits.
• AireSpring’s personalized customer service and support is reinforced by the unique escalation list up to the CEO level.
• Auto-Prioritization of voice, video and cloud applications to assure Quality of Service (QoS).
• Flex Licensing – AireSpring’s licensing package does not require customers to license more than what is needed.
• Free Read and Write Access to SD-WAN Cloud-based Orchestrator—AireSpring offers free access to a sophisticated SD-WAN web-based portal that gives all customers deep monitoring visibility into their network and configuration level capabilities.
• SD-WAN integration: The introduction of SD-WAN into AireSpring’s network core further enhances its flexibility and capability, providing benefits such as single link forward error correction, sub-second failovers and bonded bandwidth for 2+ circuits. AireSpring’s SD-WAN can improve, bond together, and failover any number of private/public links. This includes popular choices such as MPLS, internet, p2p T1/T3, fiber, broadband, satellite, LTE and others. Customers can mix and match carriers, transports and technologies as part of AireSpring’s unified architecture.
• Flexibility and competitive costs: The sophisticated QuoteSpring real-time quoting tool enables AireSpring channel partners to provide their enterprise and wholesale clients with any number of options at various price points. AireSpring’s network architecture gives business customers an innovative way to connect voice/data-enabled branch locations and build enterprise level networks with absolute carrier flexibility at highly competitive costs.

"We congratulate and thank AireSpring for its outstanding achievement in innovation in SD-WAN and SD Branch solutions for the communications industry, and for its dedication to channel partners and the indirect ecosystem,” said Berge Kaprelian, president/CEO and group publisher at Channel Vision Magazine. “We have created the Visionary Spotlight Awards program to highlight the rapid pace of evolution within the communications industry, and to give innovators and industry visionaries the opportunity to gain the exposure and recognition that they deserve. AireSpring, a repeat VSA honoree, continues to embody these goals.”
