RF Engines Limited (RFEL), the
supplier of high performance FPGA-based designs solutions,
has won the 'Embedded System Innovation of the Year'
category in the 2006 'Elektra' European Electronic
Awards.
This year's award was for 'ChannelCore64™', which
allows designers to replace up to 16 specialist DDC ASIC
devices with a single IP core embedded in an FPGA.
RFEL have previously won the 'Start up of the Year'
award at the European Awards in 2003, and were also
finalists in the 'Research and Development' award category
in 2005.
John Summers, RFEL's CEO, said: "It is a great testament
to our team of engineers that the company's products keep
winning awards for innovation. A major part of our success
has been the ability to draw on highly talented electronics
engineers here on the Isle of Wight, which then, of course,
draws in further talent. We're all obviously delighted with
the recognition, and the way that the business is
continuing to flourish, providing specialised FPGA IP and
complete products and systems."
Richard Wilson, Editor of Electronics Weekly, who was
one of the judges, commented: "In the field of digital
radio receiver design, the winning company has demonstrated
that its FPGA-based, multi-channel technology can deliver
true cost and power consumption gains."
