ESAT-SCD participated in the EU/Celtic project BANITS ('Broadband Access Networks Integrated Telecommunication System'), which received the 'Celtic Excellence Award 2008'. Six Celtic projects of Call 1 and Call 2 have been granted the 'Celtic Excellence Award' for their outstanding achievements.
The BANITS Project was led by Javier Hurtado and Luis Perez Roldan of Telefónica I+D (Madrid, Spain). Project Participants were Telefónica I+D (Spain), Alcatel-Lucent Bell (Belgium), Ericsson AB (Sweden), Inelcom (Spain), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), Optibase (Israel), RAD Data Communications (Israel), Fundacion Robotiker (Spain) and UpZide Labs (Sweden). The award was granted "because of a number of new products, patents, and standard contributions (generated by the project), which are expected to generate new income, new jobs, and to assure better competitiveness of the companies involved".
