APH Networks announces a new award for product reviews

Here at APH Networks, we review a significant amount of high tech products per year. APH's current line of available awards, including APH Recommended, APH:Renewal, and APH equal.balance, recognizes three distinct categories of excellence in the market today. Because of our careful consideration before handing out awards in each review, every badge has been extremely meaningful and valuable to both the manufacturer, and most importantly you, the reader. The team of editors at APH Networks works hard not to dilute the categories by creating an excessive amount of awards, nor do we give them out without a thorough analysis until a truly excellent product passes through our labs. But it is also crucial that we retain the specificness of each award, and apply them in a proper fashion -- and nearly three years after the last new award has been created, we believe that there is a void we need to fill in our current categories of excellence. On behalf of the team at APH Networks, we are proud to announce our latest award -- the APH One!

The APH One award is not only an award -- it is a bold statement and a strong testament to the product that receives this honor. APH One recognizes a product that has reached the pinnacle of engineering and/or design at the time of review; a product that takes its market category to entirely new heights and pushes the limits of innovation and implementation. The product is simply groundbreaking and shockingly awesome. For consumers looking for products that are the best of the best, the elite of the elite, and the ultimate of its type, this is the one. This product is a true undisputed winner among its competition, and any flagship setup would not be considered a true flagship without it. This is APH One. This is ultimate.

For more information on each awards and the way we conduct our reviews, please read our Review Focus. It is the first and original document of its kind, and many other review websites have written similar declarations ever since our first revision published in March 2006 -- nearly four years ago from today!
