Plume earns highest honor with three Gold Stevie(R) Awards for Technology Excellence in AI, product and leadership. Plume Platform recognized as Domain Specific AI Platform of the Year in Telecom and New Product of the Year; CEO Dan Herscovici named Executive of the Year PALO ALTO, Calif., July 30, 2026 - Plume Design, Inc. ("Plume"), the global technology platform trusted by more than 450 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across 58 countries, today announced it has been named the winner of three Gold Stevie(R) Awards, the highest possible recognition, in the third annual Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. The company earned Gold honors in the following categories: * Domain Specific AI Platform of the Year - Artificial Intelligence: Plume Platform (Telecom) * New Product of the Year - Communication Technology: Plume Platform * Executive of the Year - Communication Technology: Dan Herscovici, Chief Executive Officer The Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of individuals, teams and organizations shaping the future of technology across all industry sectors. "Winning three Gold Stevie Awards is a great validation of the strategy, products and team we've been building at Plume," said Mr. Herscovici. "These awards reflect the hard work of an incredibly talented global team that is reimagining what's possible for ISPs and the subscribers they serve. We set out to build the most intelligent, open platform in telecom; one that gives service providers the AI-driven tools to truly understand their networks and their customers. To have that vision recognized at the highest level by an independent panel of more than 180 industry judges is both humbling and energizing. We're just getting started." "When I brought Sweepr to Plume, I had no shortage of options, but I chose Plume because of the platform being built here: one grounded in more than a decade of real-world network intelligence that is genuinely changing how ISPs operate and serve their subscribers," said Alan Coleman, Chief Product Officer of Plume and co-founder of Sweepr. "In the short time since we joined, the pace of progress has only confirmed that decision. These three Gold Stevie Awards validate the platform, Dan's leadership and the team turning that vision into results for ISPs and their subscribers every day." Winners will be honored at a red carpet awards ceremony on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse in Paris, France, where they will be celebrated alongside winners of the 2026 Stevie(R) Awards for Great Employers, The International Business Awards(R) and the German Stevie(R) Awards. More than 700 nominations from organizations of all sizes in 37 nations and territories were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of Tech-related categories, including Company of the Year, Educational or Research Institution of the Year, Technical Innovation of the Year, Technology Breakthrough of the Year, and more in a variety of industry groupings including Advertising, Marketing and PR, Aerospace Technology, Biotechnology, Business Technology, Healthcare Technology, among others. Plume is a winner in the Domain Specific AI Platform of the Year, New Product of the Year, and Executive of the Year categories for Communication Technology and Artificial Intelligence. "We congratulate all of the winners in the third annual Stevie(R) Awards for Technology Excellence for their outstanding achievements," said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller. "Their innovations are helping shape the future of technology across every industry, and we look forward to celebrating their success on October 28." The Plume Platform has redefined what an ISP technology platform can do. Grounded in more than a decade of continuous machine learning across real-world home networks, the platform's AI is trained on the complexity of actual subscriber environments at a scale no competitor can match: 600 million connected devices, 50 million homes, 58 countries and more than 450 ISP partners generating insights every day. That depth of operational intelligence is what separates Plume from every other platform in the telecom industry. In addition, the Plume Platform is the only open, vendor-agnostic, carrier-grade Agentic AI orchestration offering purpose-built for ISP operations. It autonomously monitors network conditions, diagnoses issues and resolves subscriber problems across any network, any CPE and any AI model, transforming how service providers operate, compete and grow. By unifying network intelligence and AI-powered care orchestration across the complete subscriber lifecycle, from onboarding and engagement to proactive support and retention, the platform directly improves the metrics that matter most to operators: reduced churn, lower cost-to-serve, fewer truck rolls, increased digital engagement and higher average revenue per user. In an era when speed and price alone are no longer differentiators, the Plume Platform gives ISPs the intelligence and automation to build lasting subscriber confidence and improve quality of experience. Dan Herscovici, who was appointed CEO in April 2025, has led a major transformation of Plume's strategy, culture and product direction. Under his leadership, Plume launched its open Agentic AI platform, completed a transformative strategic acquisition (Sweepr), earned Most Loved Workplace(R) Certification and was named to the 2026 Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces(R) list. Mr. Herscovici has instilled a customer-first, innovation-driven culture across the global organization while steering a clear strategic vision: helping ISPs move beyond transactional relationships to become true relationship managers for the connected home. More than 180 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year's honorees.

Owning the Broadband Subscriber Experience in the AI Era: The new competitive advantage for ISPs. For years, broadband providers have competed on one primary metric: speed. Today, that advantage is rapidly diminishing. As gigabit services become mainstream and network performance differences continue to narrow, the future of competition is shifting toward the subscriber experience. Consumers now expect more than fast connectivity. Reliable performance, proactive support, cybersecurity, seamless smart home experiences, and personalized service have become key drivers of customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. As expectations evolve, broadband providers must rethink their role, moving beyond connectivity providers to become orchestrators of the connected home experience. To help industry leaders navigate this transition, Parks Associates, in partnership with Plume, has released the complimentary white paper, "Owning the Broadband Subscriber Experience in the AI Era." The research explores how AI, unified network intelligence, and end to end visibility enable ISPs to move beyond reactive customer support toward proactive, predictive service management. Rather than waiting for subscribers to report problems, providers can identify and resolve issues before they disrupt the customer experience, improving network performance while reducing operational costs. Drawing on Parks Associates' consumer research, the white paper examines the growing impact of smart home adoption, service reliability, cybersecurity, and bundled services on subscriber satisfaction and churn. It also highlights the increasing competitive pressure from device manufacturers, satellite providers, and technology platforms that are expanding their presence in the connected home ecosystem. The next phase of broadband competition will be defined by providers' ability to deliver intelligent, continuous, and personalized experiences throughout the connected home lifecycle. AI powered automation, predictive diagnostics, and contextual customer engagement are becoming essential capabilities for strengthening customer relationships, improving Net Promoter Scores (NPS), reducing churn, and lowering the cost to serve subscribers at scale. For broadband providers, the opportunity is clear. Success in the AI era will depend less on delivering faster speeds and more on delivering better experiences that anticipate customer needs, simplify support, and create lasting value. Download the complimentary white paper, "Owning the Broadband Subscriber Experience in the AI Era," to learn how AI driven subscriber experience strategies can help broadband providers differentiate their services, strengthen customer loyalty, and compete in the next generation of connected home services.

Plume earns certified Most Loved Workplace(R) recognition one year after launching company-wide culture transformation. Apr 15, 2026, 08:00 ET Under new leadership, global connectivity provider recognized for culture transformation, employee-first approach and deep emotional connection across a worldwide team PALO ALTO, Calif., April 15, 2026 /CNW/ - Plume Design, Inc. ("Plume"), the global technology leader trusted by more than 450 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across 58 countries, today announced it has earned Most Loved Workplace(R) Certification from Most Loved Workplace(R) and the Best Practice Institute less than one year after launching a company-wide culture transformation initiative under new leadership. This certification, based on the proprietary Love of Workplace Index(R)(LOWI) framework, is awarded to organizations where employees demonstrate the deepest levels of positive sentiment, shared values and emotional connection to their work. Plume will be featured among certified Most Loved Workplaces(R) in upcoming editions in The Economist (May 2026) and The Wall Street Journal (October 2026). The recognition marks a significant milestone in a deliberate transformation. When Dan Herscovici assumed the role of President and CEO in April 2025, he made culture one of the company's first strategic priorities. Over the past year, the company has undertaken a company-wide culture initiative anchored in rebuilding trust, strengthening accountability and ensuring every Plume team member feels they belong and can do their best work. The results can be measured through the LOWI framework and are reflected in employees' own words, describing their experiences. "There is a beautiful collaborative spirit that runs through Plume. We problem solve as a team, challenging each other in a psychologically safe manner, to come up with the best solutions. We have a shared desire to deliver excellent service to our customers." "The company's focus on improving culture has helped me grow personally and professionally. There is a new direction that was missing previously and now there is always something new to learn." "The new tone that is being set at the top of the company is refreshing and reaffirming. Plume has clear goals, and what we are working towards is exciting. My colleagues, including supervisors and team members, are all great to work with." "We have an incredible culture of transparency, empowerment and accountability. Every day we have interesting, technical challenges to solve, which is rewarding. Our leaders give us the right balance of support and autonomy." "When I joined Plume, I came to a company with extraordinary technology and an outstanding team of professionals that wanted to believe in where they worked, so we made creating a great culture and rewarding work environment one of our top objectives," said Mr. Herscovici. "We treated it as a business imperative, because you cannot deliver world-class experiences for 450 ISP customers if the people building the products and solutions don't feel respected and heard. Building better connections is not just a tagline, it is a commitment that we strive for every day, not only with our customers, but equally with our team members. This recognition reflects the genuine commitment we have made to implementing changes that employees can see and feel. We are proud of being recognized for our efforts, and we intend to keep earning our team members' trust and respect." "Culture transformation at a company with offices around the world doesn't happen by sending an email," said Lorie Boyd, Chief People Officer at Plume. "We set out to rebuild trust, to create real accountability and to make sure every team member, in every country we operate, felt seen and supported. What made this real was that we didn't treat it as an HR initiative. It was a complete commitment from the CEO down through the entire organization. The words our employees used to describe their experiences here tell us the work is landing. That is what matters most." Most Loved Workplace(R) certification is earned following LOWI assessment across the five SPARK dimensions: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Future, Alignment of Values, Respect and Killer Outcomes. "What sets Most Loved Workplaces apart is not a score on a survey - it is the depth of emotional connection employees feel to their work, their colleagues and the future they are building together," said Louis Carter, CEO and Founder of Best Practice Institute and Most Loved Workplace(R). "Plume demonstrates exactly what the SPARK model reveals in the highest-performing organizations: a positive vision of the future that people believe in, values that are lived not posted and leaders who create the conditions for people to love where they work. That is not soft. That is a competitive advantage." Plume powers intelligent, cloud-managed Wi-Fi, security, and subscriber experience services for more than 450 ISPs globally - including Bell, Charter, Jio, J:COM, Liberty Global and FPT Telecom - delivering reliable, secure and personalized experiences across nearly half a billion connected devices worldwide. The culture initiative coincides with a period of accelerating business momentum. Over the past 12 months, Plume has: * Expanded its ISP partnerships to more than 450 across 58 countries * Acquired Sweepr, a leading AI care orchestration platform, enabling industry-first unifying network intelligence and digital care in a single platform offering * Launched the industry's first open Agentic AI platform for ISPs, built on telemetry and network insights from 500 million connected devices * Made a commitment to open standards by joining organizations such as RDK Community, prpl Foundation and Connectivity Standards Alliance * Deepened partnerships by deploying advanced WiFi 7 technology with marquee ISPs including J:COM in Japan and FPT Telecom in Vietnam Plume joins a global community of certified companies recognized by Most Loved Workplace(R) for placing the emotional wellbeing and connection of their people at the center of how they operate.
