Cincinnati, OH, March 3, 2009 – PowerNet Global Communications, an integrated communications provider, announced today that they have been voted one of the telecom industry’s best solution providers of 2009 by members of the Telecom Association.

The TA, a professional membership organization of telecom distributors, recently awarded the industry’s best providers in 12 service categories as part of their annual Member’s Choice Awards.

PowerNet Global received wins in more categories than any other reseller in 2009. Among these wins are Top 5 Honors in the Reseller, SIP Trunks, Managed Services, Conferencing and Mobile Wireless categories, as well as Top 10 Honors in CLEC (Switched Local) and Hosted VoIP categories.

\"PNG is pleased to be honored with these awards. We recognize and thank our dedicated agents and employees for our success,” said Allison Stevens, President of PowerNet Global’s Enterprise Solutions division.

Every year, members of the TA who are active and independent agents, consultants or VARS with informed opinions about which solution providers do the best job, vote in the TA Member Choice Awards.

According to the TA’s website, “TA’s Member’s Choice awards recognize telecom vendors that excel in multiple categories.” PNG was chosen to receive top marks in seven of the 12 service categories.
