Private Mobile Networks, the UK provider of private GSM network technology, today announced that its Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) has won the runner up position in the "Project of the Year" category at the Techworld 2009 awards.
Techworld, an IDG publication has been running the awards in the UK for 15 years and rewards industry vendors and service providers who have delivered excellent products and solutions over the course of each year. Previously known as the Network Industry Awards, the program's independent panel of esteemed judges includes professionals from leading associations, top consultancies, private and public sector organizations, and key technology editors from Techworld.com. The awards assess each product on set criteria including features, functionality, innovation, performance, resilience, ease-of-use, fitness for purpose, price, and market position.
"It is great to have been recognized within the industry," comments Steve Haworth, CEO for the TeleWare Group, "and we would like to thank our customers for allowing us to use testimonials and case studies to demonstrate to the judges how our technology is helping to deliver real innovation in the area of fixed-to-mobile convergence."
The PMN entry was supported by testimonials and case studies from a number of clients including construction firm Robert Hughes, Kemira Water, St Gobain Glass and Pennyhill Park Hotel and Spa - a quartet of customers who have all sucessfully deployed PMN within a wide variety of challenging environments.
The Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) has the ability to deploy a private, secure GSM network at any location, at any time.
