"The Well-Connected Awards are unique because they're the only industry awards given by technologists based on real-world use and integration. We view all products, technologies and services from the same perspective as our readers -- our peers -- do, "said John Siefert, publisher of Network Computing. "This is an important distinction from any other award program --the products selected in the Well Connected Awards have been tested in an actual business environment and judged by our editors themselves. They are truly innovative solutions that work --and we have the metrics to prove it."

Network Computing selected Cognio after extensive evaluation and laboratory testing in late 2005. "Because most solutions rely on expertise of wireless communication signatures to identify interference sources among Wi-Fi signals, Cognio's Spectrum Expert Solution stands apart from the rest," said Jameson Blanford, senior technology analyst for Network Computing. "Cognio takes an extra step providing pattern recognition and classification for an assortment of non-802.11 signals, such as Bluetooth devices, cordless phones A wireless telephone that transmits to and receives signals from a base station within a range of a few hundred feet. Cordless phones are for local use and cannot travel long distances as can cellphones and satellite phones. See DECT and multihandset cordless.  and microwave ovens. The location features of the Cognio product also are first-rate.".

Cognio's Spectrum Expert technology is the only solution in the market that not only plots the energy of the spectrum, but also reads and lists the devices that are using the spectrum in real time. By recognizing and identifying by name, the devices using spectrum (such as cordless phone, Bluetooth device, and microwave ovens), Spectrum Expert enables enterprises to set policies to deal with the consequences of spectrum intruders.
