– ROLLING MEADOWS, Illinois, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Cambium Networks, a leading global provider of wireless networking solutions, today announced the first recipients of the company’s Connectivity Hero Award. Launched this year, the award recognizes individuals who have made a difference in the lives of people and improved communities through their efforts to extend wireless connectivity and connect the unconnected.
“While Wi-Fi is well known for the positive outcomes it provides many businesses – the Connectivity Hero Award winners are shedding much needed light on the role of wireless networks in humanitarian and charitable efforts,” said Nolan Greene, senior research analyst, IDC. “These Connectivity Heroes identified critical needs and used wireless networks to provide transformative services that build community, provide educational opportunities, and literally save lives.”
“With more than three billion people still not connected to the internet, there are many opportunities for visionary leaders who are charting exactly how to connect the unconnected. Many people are making such a difference right now,” said Atul Bhatnagar, President and CEO of Cambium Networks. “It is right to also recognize the individuals who first saw the need and took personal action to step out of their comfort zone and make the connectivity change happen.”
The Connectivity Hero Awards are presented to four visionary people each calendar quarter, and one annual award. Honorees receive a $1,000 donation to a charity of their choosing and are featured on the Cambium Networks website. The first annual winner for 2017 will be announced in January 2018 and will receive an additional $5,000 to contribute to a charity of their choice.
