Graphiant Named Finalist in Light Reading’s Leading Lights Awards for Outstanding Use Case in Networked Edge

Recognition Highlights Graphiant’s Innovative Edge Services and Collaboration with Rampart CIO to Enhance Municipal Connectivity and Security

SAN JOSE, CA – August 12, 2024  – Graphiant, a provider of next-generation network services, announced today it has been named a finalist in Light Reading’s Leading Lights Awards 2024 for Outstanding Use Case in the Networked Edge category. For two decades, the Leading Lights has been Light Reading’s way of recognizing the innovation, technical and market achievements of the rapidly changing global communications industry. 
“Graphiant is revolutionizing enterprise networking by replacing outdated technologies with a more efficient, scalable, secure, and cost-effective alternative. We are honored to be named a finalist for Light Reading’s Leading Lights Awards,” said Khalid Raza, CEO of Graphiant. “This recognition underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in networking solutions. Our networking platform goes beyond Network-as-a-Service and offers enterprises an unmatched combination of performance, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. We take pride in transforming how networks are built worldwide.”
This recognition acknowledges the collaborative work between Rampart CIO, a municipal cybersecurity consulting firm, and Graphiant Network Edge to enhance connectivity, increase agility, and provide cost savings to a South Carolina municipality.

As detailed in the case study, Graphiant worked with Rampart CIO to deploy a Graphiant Edge platform at remote locations and established access points. This enabled officers to seamlessly upload data without returning to the city core. This innovative approach enhanced data security and optimized operational efficiency, allowing officers to remain in their deployment areas and fulfill their missions uninterrupted.

“It’s hard to see our NaaS model as anything but a win-win-win,” said Larry Thompson, Co-Founder, Rampart CIO. “The municipality can take advantage of new technologies to empower mobile officers while strengthening ties with local communities. Local residents get a more consistent law enforcement presence where they need it. Meanwhile, our own IT and security staff can keep the client securely connected and compliant with far less effort and cost.”
