Luis Miguel Chapinal, dean of COITT, highlighted in his speech the important work in society of telecommunications technical engineers and the contribution of those honored: “Without you the telecommunications sector would not be what it is now. You were pioneers and you have gotten more and more engineers to come to the profession, because telecommunications engineering is becoming more and more important. Currently, different waves of technology are happening, which make us constantly updating ourselves and at the forefront of innovation.”

On behalf of the members, he thanked the organization of this reunion between professionals Nicolás Puerto Barrios, who had a special memory for his colleagues and colleagues who are no longer here.
