TapRoot Systems Wins Consumer Technology Company of the Year Award

TapRoot Systems honored as a 2008 Consumer Technology Company of the Year Winner at the North Carolina Technology Association 21 Awards

TapRoot Systems, Inc. is the 2008 Consumer Technology Company of the Year. The award was presented by the North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA) for TapRoot System’s revolutionary WalkingHotSpot product.

WalkingHotSpot transforms Wi-Fi enabled smartphones into “walking” hotspots.

Users securely retrieve e-mails, as well as browse the Internet, on Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops and MP3 players. With WalkingHotSpot, wireless subscribers can forget about data cards,

cables and multiple service/hotspot plans, because WalkingHotSpot allows the option of consolidating connectivity subscriptions and expenses into one economical solution.

“The 2008 NCTA 21 awards was by far our most competitive with an outstanding list of finalists and a group of award recipients who distinguished themselves through outstanding achievement and superior performance,” said Brooks Raiford, president and chief executive officer of NCTA. “I congratulate TapRoot Systems, for receiving an NCTA 21 Award and for the passion to lead, innovate and create.”

“TapRoot is honored to be receiving this Consumer Technology Company of the Year Award from the North Carolina Technology Association,” said Bob Bicksler, CEO of TapRoot Systems. “Our latest entry into the smartphone technology ecosystem is WalkingHotSpot and the response from the industry has been tremendous. We are pleased to help solve key connectivity issues for our customers.”
