This annual list recognizes recently founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers who are shaping the future of the IT channel through unique technological innovations. In addition to celebrating these standout companies, the Emerging Vendors list also serves as a valuable resource for solution providers looking to expand their portfolios with cutting-edge technology. Relay2's innovative cloud-controlled WiFi-based Service Delivery Platform is the only solution that pushes intelligence to the edge of the network, enabling users to run applications directly on their Service-Ready Access Points.

"These tech suppliers are quickly making their mark on the industry and are the ones solution providers should watch in 2016." "Smart devices and IOT technology are fundamentally changing the way in which organizations deploy and utilize their wireless networks," explained Greg Daily (News - Alert), CEO of Relay2. "As the industry turns away from using networks to simply connect devices and shifts to fog-based computing models that push content and processing to the edge of the network, the capabilities and requirements of the network infrastructure need to fundamentally change in order to maximize efficiency and performance of these new applications. Relay2's innovative platform gives solution providers a robust, high-performance Cloud-controlled platform that enables their customers to deploy these next generation applications today."
