New York, NY (October 7, 2010)Telx®, a leading interconnection and colocation provider in strategic North American markets, today announced that the Telx Ethernet Exchange has been named a finalist for the Light Reading Leading Lights Award for Best New Service in the Telecommunications Industry.

Telecommunications Industry with its coveted Leading Lights award.  The award goes to the company that has deployed a potentially market-leading, revenue-generating service or application that enhances the use of next-generation communications technology in the wire line network.

“Telx is proud to be among the finalists for the Leading Lights award, particularly in this category of next-generation communications technology visionaries,” said Glenn Calafati, Vice President and General Manager of Ethernet Exchange and Solutions Engineering for Telx. “Earning a finalist spot underscores our commitment to the innovation and excellence of our carrier-neutral and network-neutral Ethernet Exchange service.  We are delighted to be recognized for our unique ability to solve the industry challenge of extending Ethernet networks and will continue to leverage innovation and technology to better serve our customers.”

This year, Leading Lights winners will be announced at an Awards Dinner at Hudson Terrace in New York City on Nov. 2, following the first day of Ethernet Expo Americas 2010. Telx’s Glenn Calafati will also participate in a panel session, “Carrier Ethernet Exchanges – The Catalyst for Market Growth,” scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 3 at 9:15 a.m. at the Ethernet Expo.
