WARREN, N.J. - Marylandian -- Fifth Gen Media and its flagship publication, Connected Real Estate Magazine, announced that they have launched the Connected Real Estate Tech Awards to recognize and reward companies for achievements in smart buildings, in-building wireless, public safety networks, IoT technology, CBRS and 5G, and return to work solutions. The categories and criteria for the Connected Real Estate Tech Awards can be viewed at www.connectedREawards.com.

"We felt it was time for the tech space to have its own set of awards in order to recognize the great achievements in technologies for buildings, said Rich Berliner, CEO of Fifth Gen Media.  "Many of these companies are essential to the operation and safety of buildings and, in many cases, toil away in anonymity. These providers deserve to be spotlighted as fundamental components of smarter, safer buildings and for their vital contributions to getting people back to work recognized and I hope these awards will do that. There are a lot of deserving players out there," said Rich Berliner, CEO of Fifth Gen Real Estate and Publisher of Connected Real Estate Magazine.
