To support this activity, about 10% of the annual turnover is steadily invested in this vital, future-securing domain. It is the dynamic of the modern telecommunications market which demands this steady high investment. The results can be clearly seen when you consider that 50% of our annual turn-over is achieved with products less than 2 years old. On the scientific front, we work closely with technical colleges of higher education and technical universities at home and abroad - an up to date technical base, which has proved most efficient for our research projects.
