Calysto Communications (www.Calysto.com), a global public relations firm focused on the telecommunications, wireless and broadcasting industries, announced today that it was again recognized as one of the top five U.S.-based tech public relations agencies by PRSourceCode's 3rd annual "Top Tech Communicators" study. For the second year in a row, Calysto is ranked among the top five in the Mid-sized PR Agencies category for agencies with 25-49 employees.

"Calysto Communications is honored to receive this recognition from our colleagues in the technology and telecommunications media the second year in a row," said Laura Borgstede, founder and CEO of Calysto Communications.
