The addition of SearchTelecom.com increases the range and depth of TechTarget’s extensive portfolio of targeted IT resource offerings, and is a logical extension of the Company’s networking-related Web sites SearchNetworking.com, Search VoIP.com, and SearchMobileComputing.com. With the launch of SearchTelecom.com, TechTarget provides telecommunications product and service vendors with a platform to access telecommunications decision makers. This targeted new media provides the most efficient way to communicate to these technology leaders and form new purchasing relationships with them.
“The telecom industry is a dynamic environment that changes rapidly as network capabilities are improved and carriers introduce new business and residential services, with fierce competition among service providers offering everything from IPTV over residential fiber, to business VPNs over Ethernet, to streaming videos over mobile phones,” said Greg Strakosch, CEO of TechTarget. “The complexity of the industry has created a demand for an online telecom information resource to support the professionals responsible for building the services and networks.”
SearchTelecom.com has earned a strong audience response, with over 96,000 telecommunications professionals already registering for wired-line, wireless and mobile projects information.
