CINCINNATI, November 18, 2014 — GatesAir’s legacy of innovation in over-the-air TV and radio broadcasting includes two Emmy awards and more than 238 US and Global patents. Last week, company executives recognized the innovators of GatesAir’s latest patents at a ceremony at the Oasis Conference Centerin Cincinnati.
Following a keynote address from GatesAir CEO Phil Argyris, Chief Product Officer Rich Redmond led a presentation in recognition of the company’s recent patent awards. GatesAir engineers Wayne Duello, Dmitri Borodulin and George Cabrera were among those honored at the event.
