president of business development at Actiontec. "The company continues to
prove to the industry our position as a leader in driving innovation for

and exceptional products to market, while addressing the changing needs of
the market. Actiontec delivers consistently which is evident with this
year's award-winning products."

This year's Communications Solutions award winners for Actiontec were:

-- Wireless VDSL 2/ADSL 2+ Gateway: Actiontec's new line of triple play
VDSL2/ADSL 2+ Universal DSL Wireless Gateways are designed to fuel the
next generation of high-speed data, HDTV, and Voice over IP services. The
advanced gateway offers throughput speeds up to 100 Mbps upstream and
downstream over existing copper access lines -- enabling carriers to
deploy ultra-broadband service via any access architecture including
CO-based DSLAM, remote DSLAM, or FTTx and any access protocol (ATM or
PTM).

-- Next Gen Wireless Broadband Router: The Next Gen Wireless Broadband
Router sets new industry benchmarks for performance, enabling service
providers to increase service speeds beyond 100 Mbps and better meet the
needs of an increasingly sophisticated consumer base. With its
unprecedented high performance hardware design, the router can handle
multiple high-throughput media streams simultaneously, including standard
and HDTV-based video programming, online gaming, music, live sports,
children's entertainment, and more.

-- GT724WGR Wireless DSL Modem: Actiontec's GT724WGR Wireless DSL Modem
combines a full-rate ADSL/ADSL2+ modem, 4-port Ethernet switch, and
802.11g wireless router into a sleek, easy-to-use device. Actiontec's
Wireless DSL Modem is designed to make DSL hassle-free. The built-in
Auto-Connect tool automatically detects the type of DSL service, as well
as network settings for most North American DSL Internet Service
Providers. As a result, home users no longer need to scratch their heads
trying to make sense of the alphabet soup of acronyms, or dig through
their paperwork or call technical support to find their correct settings.
With the GT724WGR, configuring your DSL service is as easy as plugging in
the modem.

The Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the most
innovative products that facilitate voice, data and video communications,
or combinations thereof. This prestigious award is bestowed to companies
who demonstrated the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are
