Irvine, Calif. – June 22, 2012 – Lantronix, Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), a leading global provider of smart M2M connectivity solutions, was honored with two Silver Stevie® Awards in the marketing category for the launch of its award-winning, patent-pending xPrintServer™ – Network Edition.  Lantronix received awards for the Best B2B Marketing Campaign of the Year and the Best Small-Budget Marketing Campaign of the Year (< $3 million).

Now in its 10th year, The American Business AwardsSM is the nation’s premier business awards program.  Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the trophies were presented to honorees during a gala banquet on June 18, 2012 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York.  More than 500 nominees and their guests attended.  The presentations were broadcast live by the Business TalkRadio Network.

For the first time, the American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: the June 18 traditional banquet in New York, and at a new tech awards event on Sept. 17 in San Francisco.  The xPrintServer – Network Edition is a finalist for the best new hardware product at the September event.
