Description: Evaluated the acquisition of Telenet Communications by GTE for financial, marketing, and technical merit. Made recommendations to modify the acquisition that were accepted by GTE.
Description: Evaluated the technical merit for a major data communications product and network vendor to acquire an integrated voice-data switch manufacturer. The evaluation identified a major timing and synchronization switch performance issue that reduced the acquisition's value by over 25%.
Description: Performed fundamental research into techniques to transport voice over a packet switched network in a converged environment. Developed viable approaches to do so.
Description: Developed the defense strategy for a start up telecommunications equipment manufacturer when it was sued for multiple patent infringements by a major equipment vendor. The technologies involved included data network routing and routing protocols including MPLS. The work resulted in a highly favorable out of court settlement.
Description: Reviewed 11 ATM patents and identified their market applicability.
