I am thrilled to share that Mentum Planet was named the winner of a Pipeline 2013 Innovation Award for “Innovations in Networking.” As you may remember, Vista360 received this same award last year, and we at InfoVista are very excited to receive this honor two years in a row. This recognition points to the important role that Mentum Planet plays for mobile operators; it allows them optimize small cell investments and better plan for future traffic needs and, in turn, efficiently manage network performance to keep up with customers' expectations.

Seventy-five companies were nominated for the extremely competitive awards program this year, and a select group of finalists were chosen and presented to Pipeline's exclusive industry judging panel for final voting. The award judges included key executives from top communications service providers (CSPs) around the world, including AT&T, BT, Cox, Intelsat, TELUS, Turkcell and Yota, as well as a number of influential industry analysts.

We received our award last week at Management World, where we proudly displayed the trophy on our booth. Be sure to watch the short video below, which I filmed at the event, to hear more on what this award means for InfoVista.
