Feonic's technology enables sound to be broadcast via solid surfaces such as table tops, plasterboard walls and glass windows by effectively turning them into loudspeakers. Among other uses, the technology has applications for consumers, businesses and retailers. The Electronics Industry Design Awards have been running for three years and are considered to be the leading awards in this field. They are dedicated to recognizing innovation and achievement by companies of all sizes - across the entire British electronics industry - working in creative electronics design and manufacturing.
Voting for the awards begins in August and will be conducted predominantly online. The winners will be announced at a ceremony on 23 September 2004. Feonic was nominated by Eclipse Associates UK Ltd, which provides world class solutions for data management, audio and digital signage.
Brian Smith, managing director of Feonic plc, said: "We're thrilled to be one of the companies short-listed, especially in two separate categories. It's particularly pleasing as the competition is very stiff this year. There were applications from over 200 companies across eight categories, with 40 alone for the Best Use of Technology award. It's a great endorsement for our technology."
