OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--Sprint (NYSE:S) has received the top ranking among telecom providers, and the No. 3 ranking among all industry sectors, on the Everything Channel's VAR500 list of North America's top technology integrators for 2010.
The 16th annual VAR500 ranks the leading technology integrators and technology solution provider organizations in North America based on gross worldwide revenue from hardware and software sales, as well as earnings from professional and managed IT services.
"Sprint is honored to lead the telecom industry on the prestigious VAR500 list, which is a significant indicator of a company's presence in the market for integrated services and emerging solutions," said Paget Alves, president-Sprint Business Markets Group. "Sprint brings a uniquely differentiated approach to solutions development, including our open approach to devices and applications, our 4G mobile broadband capabilities, and special units dedicated to vertical solutions and the rapidly emerging market for M2M (machine-to-machine) solutions."
Sprint delivers wireless, wireline and converged solutions through its Business Markets Group (BMG).

Sprint continues to build on its expansive solutions portfolio, which is supported by 3G and 4G mobile broadband, Sprint's Tier 1 global IP network and a growing ecosystem of M2M partners.
"The VAR 500 is the who's who of the solution provider community. Microsoft, HP, Cisco, Symantec, among others, are highly reliant on the VAR 500 to sell their products to businesses and collectively this audience generated more than $500 billion in sales in 2009," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel.
