Posted on Oct 23, 2025
RAD, a global leader in network edge solutions, was the winner in two categories in this year’s Pipeline Innovation Awards. RAD took the honors in the Innovation in the IoT & Connected Devices and the Innovation in Edge Networking categories.
It was RAD’s Smart Business IoT solution that stood out in the IoT & Connected Devices category.
This truly innovative, “plug n’ place” IoT solution is optimized for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) that desire a low-risk, off-the-shelf way to expand their service offering from “Network Only” to a secure end-to-end service that delivers asset management with business insight to businesses of all sizes at affordable prices with no IT or installation support required.
RAD’s range of advancements and offerings at the edge were recognized with the Innovation in Edge Networking award. RAD’s edge networking offerings include a converged L2& L3 edge device, Quantum-Safe Encryption, native Ethernet over 5G FWA, DDoS protection at the edge, deterministic networking, and more.
The annual Pipeline Innovation Awards have recognized technical innovation for more than 15 years, annually evaluating hundreds of nominations to determine those companies that stand out for their ability to innovate and bring advanced solutions to the market.
“Winning these two awards is further proof of the value to our customers that is brought by our Smart Business IoT and many other edge networking solutions,” said Sharon Rozov, Marketing Chief Technology Officer for RAD. “It is gratifying to see our innovative solutions be recognized in this way.”
“The Pipeline Innovation Awards are the world’s most rigorous evaluation and validation of technical innovation in the industry,” said Scott St. John, Managing Editor of Pipeline. “We congratulate RAD for their innovations in these two categories in the 2025 Pipeline Innovation Awards program and applaud their contributions to the acceleration of technology, innovation, and our connected world.”
