CORNING, N.Y., OCTOBER 26, 2017 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that its innovative optical communications products and solutions recently received six awards in markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia Pacific region, and North America.

In Asia, Corning took top honors in two categories in the NetworkWorld Asia 2017 Readers' Choice/Rising Star Awards. The Optical Network Solution category recognizes network solutions employing fiber optics. The second award recognizes Corning as a "rising star" in data center infrastructure solutions.

The two awards are based on votes from readers of NetworkWorld Asia, Asia Cloud Forum, Security Asia, and Storage Asia. Criteria include a company's reputation in the marketplace, widespread acceptance of its technology, and user feedback on the company's solutions and their deployment.

"Our readers have high expectations for performance, efficiency, and value in networking solutions," said Victor Ng, enterprise group editorial director of Questex Asia, publisher of NetworkWorld Asia. "These Readers' Choice Awards attest to Corning's growing reputation in Asia and the Pacific as a leader in fiber optic innovation and a first-class provider of data center infrastructure solutions."

In Europe, Corning recently claimed top honors in the Data Center Leader category at the IT Future Awards in Warsaw, Poland. That award recognizes Corning's EDGE8(TM) data center solution, the industry's first tip-to-tip, preterminated optical cabling systems designed for data centers employing a future-ready Base-8 design. Finalists for the competition were chosen by a public online vote, then winners were determined by a panel of senior IT leaders in the fields of banking and industry.

The awards in Europe and Asia follow three gold-level awards Corning received in the United States in September from the Cabling Installation and Maintenance Innovators Award Program. Those awards, announced at the fall conference of the Building Industry Consulting Service International in Las Vegas, recognized three of Corning's innovative products. Corning's EDGE8(TM) solution, ALTOS® cable with binderless FastAccess® technology, and ALTOS Lite(TM) cable with FastAccess® technology were recognized by a judging panel consisting of cabling and communications system specifiers, designers, integrators, and managers with extensive professional experience.

"Winning these awards in Asia and Europe, as well as North America, validates the reputation for quality and value that our products enjoy around the globe," said Kim Hartwell, senior vice president and chief commercial officer for Corning Optical Communications. "We're pleased that customers and industry experts are finding value in our EDGE8(TM) solution, which fills a need for highly efficient, forward-looking infrastructures with emphasis on total cost of ownership. Its success grows out of our ongoing collaboration with customers all over the world."
