Australian innovators take home international technology award

The Institute for Telecommunications Research at the University of South Australia has taken home the international technology award at WinnForum.

Against some high-powered competition Australia’s Institute for Telecommunications Research (ITR) at the University of South Australia has won an international award for innovative communications technology.

The Institute’s Global Sensor Network (GSN) has been voted Technology of the Year 2013 by the Wireless Innovation Forum, a non-profit "mutual benefit corporation" dedicated to technology innovation in commercial, civil, and defence communications around the world.

The ITR GSN won the award against some strong competition from NASA, which was nominated for a communication system, developed for the International Space Station.
