Brix Networks Wins VON Magazine Innovator Award

Company's BrixView Analytics and Business Intelligence Software Enables Service Providers To Understand Customer Experience And Increase Brand Loyalty Wednesday, March 5, 2008 - CHELMSFORD, Mass. — Brix Networks, a global provider of open and extensible converged service assurance solutions, today announced it has received a 2008 VON Magazine Innovator Award, which is the foremost listing of innovative companies that represent the future of the Internet Communications industry, for its BrixView™ advanced analytics and business intelligence software.

BrixView provides carriers, service providers, and cable operators with essential, at-a-glance service information necessary to assure a high quality of experience (QoE) for their customers, along with the critical Internet Protocol (IP) quality metrics needed to connect network and voice, video, and data service performance with subscriber churn and service uptake rates.

BrixView consolidates information and simplifies the processes of data mining, searches, trending, and pattern analysis, enables information sharing throughout an organization for more informed and faster business decisions, and can quickly locate, diagnose, and prioritize service issues.

Additionally, BrixView's interactive dashboards, customizable reporting packages, and individual content portals deliver fast, easy access to information when it is needed and in the format required for all levels of users, including executives and service owners.

The power of BrixView lies in its straightforward presentation of complex QoE data, plus the ability to integrate with existing tools from various third parties -- such as systems integrators, OSS vendors, and end users -- who generate their own quality reports.

"The VON Magazine Innovator Awards recognize the Internet Communications industry's best and brightest companies, and we're pleased to include Brix Networks as an inaugural winner," said Bill Sell, Publisher, VON Media Group. "Companies like Brix should take pride in their accomplishments because the selection committee unanimously felt as though this company stood apart from the large number of organizations that participated in the nomination process."

Brix Networks is exhibiting in Booth 717 at the upcoming Spring VON.x Conference & Expo being held March 17-20 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif.
