TWO Sydney businessmen have been recognised for spearheading breakthrough optical fibre technology that is being used in the national broadband network.
Simon Poole and Steve Frisken were named NSW's Entrepreneurs of the Year in the information and communications technology field.
NSW Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner presented them with the annual Pearcey Foundation award at the state Parliament House on Wednesday night.
In 2001, Mr Poole and Mr Frisken founded Engana, which developed wavelength selective switching technology.
Their innovation is now being used in the national broadband network.
