Sunnyvale, Calif. – May 17, 2011 – Actiontec Electronics announced today that three of its products have been named Finalists in the 2011 American Business Awards (“The Stevies”). The honored products are: 4G LTE Integrated Router, VDSL Bonded Router, and MyWirelessTV.
The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. More than 2,800 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in more than 40 categories.

This year’s Stevie Award winners will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 20 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than six-hundred executives from across the U.S.A. are expected to attend. The event will benefit Camfed (camfed.org), which fights poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa by educating girls and empowering women to become leaders of change. The ceremonies will be broadcast on radio nationwide by the Business TalkRadio Network.

Actiontec’s 4G LTE Integrated Router, which was named a Finalist in the “New Product or Service of the Year-Telecommunications” category, lets consumers enjoy blazing fast broadband speeds over a wireless 4G connection. Also named in the Telecommunications category is Actiontec’s V2000H VDSL Bonded Router, an ultra-fast VDSL2 Bonded Modem Router that enables carriers to deploy ultra-broadband service via ANY access architecture.

MyWirelessTV was honored in the “New Product or Service of the Year-Media & Entertainment” category. This breakthrough device lets consumers stream 1080p60 Blu-ray quality HD video over a standard WiFi network.

Actiontec’s online publication, CrossTalk, was also named a finalist in the “Communications or PR Campaign of the Year, Marketing, Business-to-Business” category. CrossTalk (newserv.actiontec.com/crosstalk) is a free online resource designed for telecom providers and the broadband industry as a whole. Updated daily, the site aggregates the latest news, market research, analyst updates, events, and more to help providers better understand the changing broadband landscape.

It’s a great testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and it further confirms our company’s leadership role in driving the next-generation digital home forward,” said Brian Henrichs, chief business development officer at Actiontec Electronics. 

Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May.
