CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat
Inc. (Nasdaq: VSAT), a global communications company, today
announced it was named a 2021 Channel Influencer Award winner by
Channel Partners and Channel Futures. The award recognized Viasat
as one of 25 organizations helping to shape the
technology/telecommunications sales channel in 2021.
Viasat is focused on creating new sales opportunities across the
channel—especially in traditionally hard-to-reach locations that
fall outside of cable and fiber service areas. Channel partners can
offer Viasat internet as a primary internet service in
unserved/underserved areas; as an option to their enterprise and
business customers, filling broadband coverage gaps; or as a
diverse, resilient secondary connection for business
continuity.
"We're honored to be recognized by Channel Partners and Channel
Futures as a leading organization empowering the technology and
telecom channel with new options for sales and success," said
Evan Dixon, head of Viasat's Global
Fixed Broadband Services business. "Receiving a 2021 Channel
Influencer Award is a testament to our team's hard work and our
mission to make broadband accessible to more businesses no matter
where they are located."
"Channel Partners has a unique vantage point from which to
identify the most influential people and organizations in the
industry," said Bobby DeMarzo, vice
president of content, Informa Tech Channels Group. "These honorees
are true channel advocates within their organizations, the industry
and among their peers. Influence can be measured in many ways, but
we examine how these individuals and organizations carved out paths
as thought leaders helping to identify growth opportunities or
accelerate the channel's evolution. The influencers within the
Channel Partners and Channel Futures community are those with a
true network that have a loyal, trusted following."
"Our editorial team carefully examined the industry for
individuals and organizations that are exerting true influence in
the channel today," said Craig
Galbraith, editorial director, Channel Partners &
Channel Futures. "Our criteria include how they helped move the
telco and IT channel forward with their thoughts, actions and
words. We found the pandemic has redefined what influence means and
how it is exerted Not everyone can be an influencer. It takes
courage and a point of view that makes partners, vendors, customers
and suppliers stop and think."
All 50 of the 2021 winners are profiled in a digital publication
available for download from the Channel Partners website.
