According to the Light Reading Leading Lights Awards program information, the Public Company of the Year award is given to the firm that "stands out among its competitors, innovates constantly, makes investors proud and makes employees happy."  tw telecom won the award over nine other finalists in the Company of the Year (Public) category.

Judged by Light Reading editors, with help from Heavy Reading and Pyramid Research analysts and feedback from industry sources, the Leading Lights Awards program focuses on next-generation communications technology, applications, and services, and rewards the companies that have performed well over the past year.

In accepting the award, Mike Rouleau, tw telecom Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, thanked Light Reading and acknowledged his company's employees who continually work diligently to ensure its networks, products and service are exceptional. 

"Our commitment to Business Ethernet is unprecedented in the industry," Rouleau said.  "We have delivered Ethernet nationally to enterprises for more than a decade and are consistently one of the three leading providers of Business Ethernet across the country.  Our continuous innovation strategy around Business Ethernet continues to differentiate us in the market with our customers."

tw telecom's Business Ethernet provides secure, scalable, predictable network connections for any enterprise needing connectivity to remote locations, data centers and to the cloud.   tw telecom is now delivering Intelligent Network capabilities over its national Business Ethernet network to meet customers' evolving needs for real-time performance metrics.  

"Our Enhanced Management and unique Dynamic Capacity capabilities allow customers real-time visibility into their network performance," Rouleau said.  "Even more important, our Dynamic Capacity capability allows customers to double or triple their network capacity in seconds to meet immediate business demands or to schedule increased bandwidth for business applications or a certain ad-hoc need.   They can then return to their original committed information rate in seconds."

"Neither capability affects the customer's service or quality of transmission and is performed by the enterprise network manager," Rouleau added.  "This flexibility is seamless and simple and gives IT managers and CIOs the real time visibility, access and control they have always wanted to become more efficient in serving their customers and in growing their businesses."
