The Catalan Government has recognised its important work, as well as its R+D+I generating capacity, encapsulated in its having sold over twenty million fractal aerials for telephony and mobile telecommunications to leading communications multinationals.
The purpose of the National Communication Awards of the Catalan Government is to award recognition for the most relevant contributions made by professionals or organisations in the field of communication and telecommunications in Catalonia or in the Catalan language.
Rubén Bonet, the Fractus President, received the award from the Councillor for Culture and the Media, Joan Manuel Tresserras, and the Councillor for Government and Public Administrations, Jordi Ausàs. Bonet said “that as well as recognition of our work, the award is primarily an argument for pushing forward with our aim to continue researching and innovating in the field of telecommunications and strengthen our international vision focused on a global market.”
