The past 23rd of October 2014 was held at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC, Granada Spain) the Spanish SKA Day. The meeting gathered all Spanish enterprises, GTD among them, scientific institutes and technological centers that have been working or are willing to work in the SKA project (Square Kilometer Array).The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is building the world's largest radio telescope and the largest astrophysics infrastructure has already been described as a revolution in astronomy. Thousands of sensors will observe the sky from Africa and Australia continents. It will perform ten thousand times faster and fifty times more accurately than existing radio telescopes.A total of one hundred institutions from eighteen countries were selected to complete the final design, which challenges both scientific and technological level and in which nine research centers and eleven Spanish companies (including GTD) will participate.GTD and the IEEC (Institut d’Estudis Espacials de Cataunya) presented in the meeting the work developed in the framework of the Telescope Manager work package lead by NCRA (Indian National Center for Radio Astrophysics).The construction of such infrastructure will demand technological research and development in the domains of high rate communication networks, data processing and computing and large infrastructure systems management.Assistants: Eduard Díez (GTD), Josep-Miquel Girart (IEEC), Josep Colomé (IEEC)
