NetComm CEO wins Communications Ambassador award

NetComm Wireless CEO and managing director David Stewart has won the Communications Ambassador award at the 2016 Communications Alliance ACOMM awards.

The award — the highest honour of the competition — recognises Stewart for his significant contribution to the Australian communications industry.

He was presented with the award at the 10th Annual Communications Alliance ACOMM Awards Dinner in Sydney last night.

“David established NetComm Wireless as a leading global developer of Fixed Wireless, wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, and helped to advance the Australian communications industry through the introduction of a number of first-to-market data communications technologies over three decades,” NetComm chairman Justin Milne said.

“Through his longstanding commitment to innovation, David expanded NetComm Wireless into global markets through initiatives impacting a broad range of industry segments, including building automation, transportation, mining services and energy management.”

At the event, NetComm Wireless was also named the winner of the new ACOMM IoT innovator award.

The company was presented with the award for its Smart Home Gateway device, which is designed to lower household emissions by connecting and enabling remote management of energy meters, sensors, heat pumps and home automation devices in real time.
