Award Recognizes 100 Companies That Embody Innovation

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Dust Networks today announced that it has been selected as a Top 100 Innovator by Red Herring, a media company whose mission is to cover innovation and entrepreneurial activity. The award honors 100 companies that have made their mark with critical contributions in technology, marketing, sales, service, financing or human relations.

"We are honored to be chosen by the editors of Red Herring magazine and recognized as an industry leader amongst a prominent group of companies," said Joy Weiss, President and CEO of Dust Networks. "This distinction acknowledges our continuous innovation in wireless sensor networking and our dedication to putting that innovation to work for our customers today."

Dust Networks' SmartMesh(TM) is a wireless mesh networking platform for enterprise-class monitoring and control solutions. Businesses can dramatically reduce the cost of deploying, installing, and managing a sensing and control network. SmartMesh is easy to install and highly manageable; the self- configuring network requires no site survey, no RF knowledge, and no device- level management.

SmartMesh is optimized for low data-rate sensor networking applications in building automation, industrial monitoring, and security, enabling unprecedented access to information about the physical world. This completely wireless system requires neither power nor communication wires so devices can be completely untethered, creating opportunities in applications such as energy monitoring, HVAC systems, machine-health monitoring, and perimeter security.

"Selection for the Innovation 100 puts Dust Networks in an elite group," said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "The editors worked hard to identify the companies who will benefit from the important technology trends in the coming year, and we're pleased to honor this year's top one hundred."

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated over 1200 submissions from 900 companies. The editors picked the winners using a careful analysis of financial data as well as subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
