RALEIGH, NC – FEBRUARY 1, 2011 – Inlet Technologies, the leader in innovative solutions for digital media preparation, today announced it has been named one of Red Herring’s 2010 Global 100 winners. The annual award recognizes the 100 most innovative and promising private technology companies across North America, Europe, and Asia.

“Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists.

Red Herring’s editorial staff then reviewed the track record and standing of each company to see past the “buzz,” making the list an invaluable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the greatest business opportunities from around the world.

“It is an honor to be named one of this year’s top 100 private global companies and we are proud to be recognized by Red Herring for our consistent leadership, strong partnerships and first-to-market innovations,” commented Don Bossi, CEO of Inlet Technologies. “This award, along with our continued record growth, is true validation of our commitment to delighting customers with the best video experience, thus enabling them to reach new audiences and monetize their content more effectively.”

Inlet was the recipient of numerous business awards in 2010, including the Inc. 500|5000, in which the company was named the 45th fastest growing software company in America, and the Red Herring North America 100. Inlet also received several regional awards, including the Council for Entrepreneurial Development’s (CED) North Carolina Company to Watch award and the North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA) Small Technology Company of the Year award.

“In 2010, Inlet solidified itself as the foremost provider of encoding solutions to enable multi-format streaming to multiple screens,” said Don Bossi, chairman and CEO, Inlet Technologies. “Moving forward, we will continue working with our customers to develop and enhance revenue streams, making their broadband content as high quality, reliable and profitable as broadcast content.
