COLUMBUS, OHIO; October 9, 2011 -- Network9, LLC, an award-winning network infrastructure and cable installation company, was recognized in the 17th Annual Fast 50 Awards program presented by Columbus Business First. The awards luncheon held today at the Hyatt Regency, featured an exciting countdown of Central Ohio’s fifty fastest-growing private companies during which Network9 was announced as the 49th fastest-growing privately held company in Central Ohio.

While 2011 proved to be another challenging year for many businesses in the region; the Fast Fifty companies all followed their very own recipe for success (today’s theme for the luncheon)! Business First asked each company representative to prepare five (5) words to describe their recipe for success. “Customers, Quality, Quantity (Productivity), Teamwork, & Perseverance” are the words Gilbert Wilson, Director of Business Development, stated as the ingredients for Network9’s continued growth and success. “Since day one, we have been blessed with an amazingly loyal and growing customer base as well as teammates that are committed to high quality craftsmanship and customer service! When we combine these two ingredients with a dose of productivity, teamwork, and perseverance, the result is our recipe for continued growth!

Our continued growth has enabled us to segment our organization to focus on three key areas: Wired, Wireless, and Field Services & Integration. With the continued convergence in IP technology, we now offer full service Wired (demark to desktop cabling infrastructure), Wireless (LAN and DAS Wireless Site Survey, WAP & Antenna Installation, and Final Validations), and Field Services and Integration (VOIP desktop, IP Video Cameras, & Access Control deployments).

“We are fortunate to be in good company and congratulate each and every organization in the Business First Fast Fifty Class of 2012, including (by growth);
