"This award validates our commitment and investment in SD-WAN technology and this exploding market which has transformed networks faster than anything we have seen in recent years."

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

• Free Read and Write Access to SD-WAN Cloud-based Portal – 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.

• Flex Licensing – AireSpring's licensing package does not require customers to license more than what is needed for in tunnel traffic.

• 3rd Party Vendor Support – AireSpring will monitor 24x7 and proactively open repair tickets on behalf of customers for non-AireSpring internet circuits.

• Auto-Prioritization of voice, video and cloud applications assures Quality of Service (QoS).

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.
