Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — US Signal today announced it is a winner of SiliconANGLE Media’s 2026 Tech Innovation CUBEd Awards in the Innovator of the Year category. The CUBEd Awards is an annual program honoring the most innovative companies, technologies and leaders shaping the future of B2B and B2B2C technology.
US Signal was recognized in the Innovator of the Year category for its OpenCloud platform, a next-generation infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solution built on open-source Apache CloudStack. OpenCloud delivers enterprise-grade performance, predictable pricing, and operational flexibility without vendor lock-in, helping organizations modernize infrastructure while maintaining greater control over cost and architecture. The award highlights US Signal’s commitment to delivering meaningful innovation with measurable real-world impact for enterprise and mid-market customers.
“We built OpenCloud to solve real problems we were seeing in the market — rising cloud costs, reduced flexibility, and increasing vendor complexity,” said Taylor Greiner, Director of Innovation at US Signal. “Winning Innovator of the Year validates our belief that organizations want cloud solutions that prioritize control, transparency, and long-term sustainability. OpenCloud gives customers the ability to run cloud smarter while maintaining the performance and reliability their businesses demand.”
The Tech Innovation CUBEd Awards are judged by a panel of respected industry analysts, influencers, practitioners and technologists who evaluate entries based on innovation, differentiation, real-world impact and execution.
