ELKHART, IN December 7, 2010- MapleNet Wireless has been honored once again with the Ceragon Best Value Added Reseller (“Best VAR”) Award for 2010.   The Ceragon Best VAR award is presented each year to the reseller with the highest sales of Ceragon’s products.    MapleNet has also won the award in 2007 and 2008.   

The Best VAR award was presented during the Ceragon Premier Partners event at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.    Gene Crusie, CEO; Pat McCauley, Field Services Manager; Mike Hutter, National Wireless Sales; and Steve Carender, National Sales Manager, attended the event, which included sales and technical presentations along with preliminary overviews of new solution offerings from Ceragon.

“Throughout 2010 we have had several events to help us celebrate our 10th year in the wireless broadband business,” stated Gene Crusie, MapleNet’s CEO, “and winning the Ceragon Best VAR award is a perfect way to close out our first ten years and kick off for our next ten.”

Focused efforts in education, healthcare and private network markets helped boost MapleNet’s 2010 Ceragon sales.    Ceragon wireless solutions offer an alternative where fiber is not feasible and leased lines deliver insufficient bandwidth.  Schools and hospitals, in particular, have increasing bandwidth needs and have embraced microwave as an option for fiber-equivalent performance.
