Bigleaf Networks Named to Inc.’s 2025 Best in Business List in Best in Innovation

BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bigleaf Networks is proud to announce its inclusion on the Inc. Best in Business list in the Best in Innovation category. Inc.’s annual Best in Business Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and contributions of companies that have made a profound impact on their industries.

The recognition honors companies that, through exceptional execution, have achieved significant milestones and core business wins, like customer expansion, key product launches, increased market share, and industry-defining accomplishments.

Bigleaf earned its place on the list through the launch of the BLR Edge 800W, an all-in-one connectivity solution designed for distributed enterprises and wireless-first environments. With plug-and-play deployment, integrated 5G and Wi-Fi 6, and seamless same-IP failover, the solution simplifies how businesses deliver reliable, resilient connectivity across locations, especially in underserved or high-demand settings. This innovation directly addresses long-standing challenges in business networking and has helped customers maintain operations during outages, reduce complexity, and scale efficiently.

The full list can be found on Inc.com and in the upcoming winter print edition of Inc. magazine.

“This honor validates the work we’ve done to make connectivity more intelligent, more resilient, and easier to manage,” said Greg Davis, CEO of Bigleaf Networks. “It’s especially rewarding because it speaks to the real impact we’re creating for our customers, not just the technology itself.”

“Being named to Inc.’s Best in Business list is a milestone for our team,” said Lori Stout, Chief Marketing Officer at Bigleaf Networks. “It’s meaningful recognition of the way we are pushing boundaries and planning ahead in an industry that’s historically slow to change.”

Inc.’s Best in Business Awards are open to companies of all sizes and types, in all industries and locations. Public, private, nonprofit, subsidiary, U.S.-based, and international companies are all encouraged to apply. Inc. editors and reporters hand-review every application and select Best in Business honorees that, in each of the award categories, have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

“Each Best in Business honoree achieved a breakthrough moment this year. Some unveiled groundbreaking innovations while others launched savvy marketing campaigns or strategically implemented AI in their companies,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “No matter what their business win looked like, their projects and initiatives had a sizable impact on their company and even on their industry at large, making them worthy of this honor.”
