Award recognizes 100 private companies in North America that drive the technology industry's future
San Diego, CA - May 11, 2005 — Staccato Communications, an ultrawideband (UWB) wireless technology pioneer, today announced that it has been named one of the Red Herring 100 Private Companies of North America.
"Five years after the dot-com bubble burst, innovation and entrepreneurship are thriving. The companies on this list are proof," said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss.
"Staccato executives have worked relentlessly for the past decade to transform ultrawideband from a wireless technology existent in only a few labs into a thriving industry segment and burgeoning worldwide business," said Rick Kornfeld, President and CEO, Staccato Communications. "The Red Herring recognition is well deserved."
Red Herring's lists of private companies are an important part of the magazine's tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google and eBay were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as those that would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 900 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. Red Herring 100 companies will be presenting their business model and strategy at the Red Herring Spring conference. Red Herring Spring will take place May 17-19 at the Monterey Plaza Hotel in Monterey, California.
