San Antonio, TX – September 12th, 2018 – Wirewerks, a leading manufacturer of network infrastructure solutions, announced today that its NextSTEP Technology fiber management system has been recognized by the judges of the annual Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of CI&M editors along with independent industry experts including cabling and communications system specifiers, designers, integrators and managers with vast industry experience.
Wirewerks’ NextSTEP Technology fiber management system earned a total of four individual Innovators Awards in this year’s competition, including a top-level Platinum Award, two Gold-level Awards and one Silver-level Award. NextSTEP Technology is a highly innovative system that represents the evolutionary next step in fiber management – the logical next step that combines fiber patching, distribution, splicing, splitter, DWDM, MPO, and 40/100GbE functionality into a fully integrated, modular, scalable management system for virtually any passive optical fiber networking application.
Jais Cohen, President of Wirewerks, commented, “We are extremely proud of the ingenuity and creativity found in NextSTEP’s industry-exclusive new features, and we are honoured to have our innovations recognized with four separate CI&M Innovators Awards. We believe that this recognition will be a meaningful differentiator for NextSTEP customers in our targeted Data Center, Enterprise LAN, and Broadband/MSO vertical markets.”
