Berne, Switzerland, December 3, 2008. The DECT Forum, the worldwide association of the home communication industry, and Jakajima are pleased to announce the winners of the International CAT-iq Student Design Competition.
With the CAT-iq Design Competition 2008 the DECT Forum inspired design students from all over the world to create out of the box products and exciting services for the next generation of home communication. The jury of international experts has made the decision for the first three prizes. Winners will be invited to the DECT CAT-iq Conference 2009 in Amsterdam; the awarded design studies will be presented during the conference (February 3-4, 2008) to industry experts.
Erich Kamperschroer, Chairman of the DECT Forum, is pleased to disclose the three winners of the CAT-iq Design Competition 2008:
The quality of the submitted designs was high but very diverse. The winning concepts were distinctive and well presented. The final decision on the runner up prize was not so easy as there were several ideas that made the choice difficult.
