Intel ICA Partner of the Year 2006 for Kontron

Nov 10, 2006. Intel has selected Kontron as its most important embedded industry partner for fiscal year 2006. The citation of merit is based on the outstanding growth, technology leadership and innovative power Kontron has attained within the embedded computer industry. Kontron AG was honored as the “ICA Partner of the Year 2006″. The Intel Communications Alliance is Intel’s partner program for embedded computer manufacturers, in particular in the telecommunications sector. Worldwide, the alliance has more than 200 members, four of them holding premiere status (Kontron, Hewlett Packard, Motorola and Radisys).

“It is a great honor, to be named “ICA Partner of the Year”, says Hannes Niederhauser, Chief Executive Officer of Kontron AG. “This award underscores the leading role we play in the embedded industry and the importance of alliance with Intel for innovative technologies of the future. Thanks to the strategic ICA partnership, Kontron has access to Intel’s future innovations before they are actually released,” explained Niederhauser.” Enormous progress has also been made thanks to the definition of new standards, which are now also being pursued by other embedded computer firms.”
