Brilliant recognized for innovation, execution and technology by global telecom service providers

San Jose, Calif. — Brilliant Telecommunications, Inc. (Brilliant), a developer of next-generation IEEE 1588v2 synchronization and timing solutions, received the SPIFFY Core Award for the Best Fixed Telecom Opportunity at the Second Annual SPIFFY Awards hosted by the Telecom Council. The members of the Service Provider Forum, SPiF, reviewed almost 100 pre-screened start-up companies at local Telecom Council meetings throughout 2008. Start-ups who presented had been identified as having ideas, relevance, and traction that would most appeal to carriers from around the globe.

“The Telecom Council’s Service Provider Forum has selected Brilliant Telecommunications, among stiff competition of nearly 100 other start-ups, as having the Best Fixed Telecom Opportunity for 2008. The Telecom Council’s over 20 phone carrier members voted to honor Brilliant’s technology with the Core Award at their annual SPIFFY Awards held in San Jose on February 26th, 2009. The Service Provider Forum looks forward to Brilliant’s continued contributions to the telecommunications industry.”

Brilliant’s carrier-class timing and synchronization solution is the key enabler to ensuring mobile IP services are transported maximizing bandwidth utilization and without degradation across the mobile backhaul. As the migration from expensive legacy, circuit-based solutions take hold, accurate timing and synchronization remain essential.

“Brilliant is proud to be the recipient the Core Award for Best Fixed Telecom Opportunity as recognized by the members of the Service Provider Forum.,” commented Dr. Charles Barry, president and CEO of Brilliant Telecommunications. “We look forward to our on-going involvement with the Telecom Council and further contributions to the development of next-generation telecom networks.”
