The company was founded in 1983 as TELES GmbH by Professor Dr.-Ing. Sigram Schindler in close cooperation with Technische Universität Berlin. Professor Schindler lectured in telecommunications at the university until 1998.[_citation needed_] In 1997, he was voted High-Tech Manager of the Year by Manager Magazine in Germany.[1]
