Genaker, the Spanish Company and member of TCCA which sells professional and secure mobile communications services globally and is a spin-off of the Nokia R+D centre in Spain, has received a 1.3m euro grant from the EU for innovation from the Horizon 2020 programme.Genaker received the highest score of more than 2000 participating companies.

The grant will accelerate Genaker’s product evolution to deliver fast integrated voice, data and video mobile communications for critical operations’ teams, capable of running reliably on almost any network and under poor coverage conditions. Solutions like these are much in demand in the industry where many of the walkie talkie radios are becoming obsolete. The future for the industry is for specially equipped mobile phone terminals to work on 4G networks.

Genakes strategy is to consolidate their leadership in Europe with a better market solution for critical communications which includes the so-called and ongoing “smart factory” or 4.0 Industry process in different sectors (chemical, petrochemical, utilities, airlines) as well as critical communication for the public sector (local police forces, emergency services, ..).

CEO, Miquel Teixidor expressed his pride and satisfaction with receiving the European Union Grant for innovation, saying: “it will allow Genaker to play in the “Champions League” in the sector of the new generation of mobile professional and secure radios”.
