CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Pyramid Research (http://www.pyr.com/), the telecom research arm of TechWeb's Light Reading Communications Network (http://www.lightreading.com/), announced it has upgraded its corporate headquarters in Cambridge, Mass., and its offices in London and Hong Kong to new facilities. To view the new office locations, visit http://www.pyr.com/contact.htm.

The relocations of the Cambridge headquarters as well as the London and Hong Kong offices are an integral part of the company's efforts to align its global presence within TechWeb's Light Reading Communications Network, which acquired Pyramid in September of this year. The larger facilities also allow Pyramid to accommodate frequent visits of international staff, clients, and partners.

"Pyramid's move into state-of-the-art facilities in Cambridge, London, and Hong Kong will enhance our client services in a number of ways," says Dennis Mendyk, Managing Director of Pyramid Research and Heavy Reading. "With these moves, Pyramid is now tightly integrated with the massive resources of UBM and TechWeb, which will enable us to deliver new products and services to our customers faster and more efficiently."

Centrally located at 10 Canal Park in Cambridge, Mass., the newly-constructed office space for Pyramid's headquarters is convenient to the airport and near public transportation, hotels, restaurants, shopping, and parking. The new facility also features a meeting room whose floor-to-ceiling window overlooks the pond and fountain of Canal Park.

Pyramid's London office has moved to United Business Media Limited's headquarters at Ludgate House in London's South Bank district, while its Hong Kong office has moved to United Business Media's location in Causeway Bay. Pyramid's offices in Seattle and Miami will remain in their current locations.
