July 8, 2008: Does your company have what it takes?
While the wireless industry has no shortage of awards, the third annual Best of WiMAX World Awards is the defining set of industry awards for the WiMAX industry--presented at the largest WiMAX-centered show in the world. In its first year, the Awards garnered 20 nominations, last year the Awards pulled from 120 nominations and this year we have opened the process to any company that has distinguished itself in the WiMAX industry whether they are attending WiMAX World, or not. (We dare you, however, to find a WiMAX company that is not attending the show.) Also, companies' products need not be certified by the WiMAX Forum to win an Award.
Here are the categories:
- Service Provider Deployment
- System Design
- Devices/Peripherals/Application Software
- Chip Design
- Industry Innovation
- Industry Choice
So point your browsers to the official nomination forms found at:

You have until August 8, 2008 before the nomination window is closed. The Awards will be presented on October 1 during a special presentation at the WiMAX World 2008 Conference & Expo in Chicago. Winners recieve personalized trophies and logos for use in their marketing and advertising efforts--but, more importantly, winners get bragging rights.
The Awards' Finalists will be picked by an esteemed and secret panel of judges from xchange magazine, Trendsmedia and invited subject matter experts from various publications and research firms. The winners will then be chosen by an open online vote both before and during the conference. In the meantime, feel free to write-in with any questions about the Awards and nominate your company today!
