MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AirTight Networks, global provider of cloud-managed Wi-Fi, announced today that it has been named one of the industry's leading tech innovators by CRN. The Tech Innovator Awards recognize the companies and products that have used innovation to advance technology, increase productivity, and reduce cost and complexity in ways that provide value to the channel. AirTight's C-75 802.11ac Access Point took top honors in the Wireless category. 

Each year, CRN honors the high-tech companies that have delivered outstanding innovation in hardware and software solutions over the past 12 months. These awards guide solution providers toward today's biggest technology breakthroughs so they can incorporate them into advanced solutions for their customers. CRN Test Center editors reviewed hundreds of products across 18 hardware and software categories to determine the winners and those worthy of honorable mention. 

AirTight C-75 802.11ac access points and the companion Mojo Studio cloud-based portal provide value-added business services beyond basic connectivity.

Additionally, they offer AirTight's top rated wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS), customized guest Wi-Fi and social sign-in options for guest engagement.

AirTight's channel partners can design their own value-added business services, such as wireless vulnerability assessments for proactive threat prevention. They can also create custom branded engagement leveraging AirTight's BrandBuilder™ application to build Wi-Fi splash pages.
