The Elektra European Electronics Industry Awards 2014 were presented at a Gala Dinner in London last night.
Isle of Wight-based RFEL was named company of the year, recognising its achievement as a world-class developer of high-speed real-time high definition video processing technology.
A landmark for the company this year was being engaged by Oxford University to prepare the initial signal processing study contract for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope project at Jodrell Bank.
From its research centre on the Isle of Wight, RFEL is also providing its FPGA-based processing expertise to a European consortium developing a driver assistance system for the military.
The judges said: “RFEL has created a team of exceptionally skilled software and hardware designers who are contributing leading edge signal processing technology to international companies and consortiums.”
Elektra 2014 presented its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award to Mark Larson, president of Digi-Key.
He joined the company in 1976 and during the last 38 years has been instrumental in creating one of the largest global brands in component distribution.
The Elektra Awards has been recognising technical innovative and business success for more than a decade.
A highpoint of the electronics industry, the event was hosted by comedian and TV personality Andy Parsons, and watched by a large and enthusiastic audience representing all sectors of the industry.
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks again to all the sponsors who make the event possible.
