1998-1999 Director, Wireless Broadband Access –
Bell Communications Research
Successfully
led marketing and business development for Bellcore to promote its offering of
fixed wireless broadband access (18 to 40 GHz) including Local Multipoint
Distribution Service (LMDS). Created a successful market strategy for Bellcore
to launch, promote, and sell its service offerings and tools. This included creating collateral
material (both technical and marketing), sponsoring conferences, aggressive
advertising, and other activities that led to successful sales results. Grew Bellcore’s wireless broadband
business from launch to a multi-million dollar business in less than a
year. Technical emphasis was given
to data and video services.
1995-1998 Director, Broadband Access – Bell
Communications Research (Bellcore)
Held
technical management and business development responsibilities with focus on
international markets and projects in the areas of local loop access,
specifically Full Service Networks, interactive multimedia services, systems
integration, wireless access (LMDS and MMDS), Digital Subscriber Line
technologies (xDSL), FTTP, and Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC). Managed various projects with RBOCs,
North American LECs, CATV operators, equipment suppliers, and international
PTTs. Projects included performing
competitive analyses and business cases for CLECs, technical and economics
comparison of broadband access architectures, delivery of video services, plant
assessment (present versus future methods of operations), regulatory and
technical impact of open network architectures on broadband access, and
comparison of various ATM options for FTTP systems.
Worked
in a sales capacity with the Account Team at Bellcore assisting them in closing
opportunities in the
1994-1995 Senior
Systems Engineer - Network Technology - Bellcore
Lead
engineer on multiple teams providing consulting services focusing on the
network platforms that offer broadband services to residential and business
end-users. Areas of work included
consulting on end-to-end systems engineering for video transmission, HFC and
FTTP architectures, powering, traffic engineering, multiple access protocols
(Slotted ALOHA and TDMA), and voice frequency analog transmission. Customers
for these consulting services included both traditional (RBOCs) and nontraditional
clients (small LECs, CATV providers, Power Utility companies).
Other
responsibilities included managing a group of 6 engineers to provide consulting
on video and telephony for broadband access systems including ADSL, FTTP, and
HFC.
1989-1993 Member
of the Technical Staff - Network Transmission Technology - Bellcore
Leader
of the team that planned and executed the updating of the FTTP requirements
document (TR-909) to include requirements that enable the delivery of broadband
video services. TR-909 was the
first system-level generic requirements documents for Fiber-in-the-Loop (FITL)
systems that provide narrowband services like POTS, ISDN, and video services.
Authored many sections including synchronization, powering, electromagnetic
compatibility, and physical design; co-authored sections on availability and
reliability and video modulation techniques.
Responsible
for Bellcore's technical involvement in all national and international
standards deliberating FTTP system issues. Authored more than 10 key technical
contributions for ITU-T. Elected
Editor for the ITU-T FTTP Recommendation (ITU-T SG 15/24).
1988-1989 Member of the Technical Staff - Network
Transmission Technology - Bellcore
Responsibility
included developing operations and maintenance functions across the Broadband
ISDN User Network Interface (UNI) for SONET/SDH and ATM transport. Proposed a new function across the UNI,
the Line Layer Far End Block Error,
which received national as well as international acceptance and was incorporated in
related ANSI standards and ITU
recommendations. Authored or
co-authored over 50 technical contributions on the definition of the Broadband ISDN UNI and ATM. These contributions were accepted in US
national standards as well as the ITU.
Was editor for the Physical Layer Standard in T1E1 and held many leadership positions, such as chairing
ad-hoc and drafting groups and
providing technical liaison between T1S1 and T1E1.
1986-1988 Member of the Technical Staff - Power
Systems - Bellcore
Responsible
for generating technical requirements for telecommunications power and
electrical protection equipment,
evaluating the impact of emerging telecommunications technology on
Central Office power and battery requirements, and analyzing power and
protection equipment.
1985-1986 Power Design Engineer - Transformer and
Power Supply Division - Preferred
Electronics
Led
a small team to design custom power supplies and magnetics. Had full project responsibility for the
design, packaging, testing, and quality assurance for linear, ferro-resonnant,
and high-frequency switchmode power supplies. Developed a patented feedback stability
circuit for ferro-resonant power supplies. Customers for these projects
included computer, telecommunications and consumer product manufacturers.
1985-1986 Lecturer in Electrical Engineering -
Responsible
for teaching Senior Electrical Engineering courses in Circuit Analysis and
Communications Theory.
