These awards recognize the best new products or services debuting at ComNet, the USA's largest enterprise networking and telecommunications conference and exposition. Product candidates are selected by industry experts in specific categories and judged on how the products will alter or improve the telecommunications industry as a whole.
Specific emphasis is placed on the migration path for users toward the new products and services.
The finalists are then tallied and entered into onsite voting stations at ComNet, where attendees can cast their votes among the finalists.
