[Download PDF of Mr.
Walding's Bio]
Mr. Walding enjoys more than
twenty five years of hands-on/front-line experience in the communications industry. His
experience spans access engineering, transmission systems, network management, network
implementation scenarios, network and field operations, sales, and engineering support.
In all of his varied roles, he has maintained a focus on emerging technologies: how
new technologies are implemented (in terms of both products and services), as well as how
emerging technologies offer national and international business opportunities.
Mr. Walding began his career in satellite communications. He
developed and engineered several RF products, was responsible for the design and
installation of a satellite network control center using VSAT (very small aperture
terminal) spread-spectrum technology. In his next position, Mr. Walding directed
field service, customer service, and network operations for a regional office of a major
news and information services provider: REUTERS INFORMATION SERVICES. In this
capacity, he developed strategies and technical implementations for a private CATV
Broadband network in San Francisco, CA.
Later, Mr. Walding joined DSC Communications Corporation, where he has
filled a number of positions. He began as Product/Program Manager for the DEX ECS3
and ECS1 digital cross-connects, and successfully positioned them for acceptance at MCI,
the RBOCs and other major carriers. As Senior Product Manager for the Integrated
Multiservice Transport Node (iMTN), he co-chaired two international collaborations for
combined SDH and SONET standards. As Director, he managed the development of a
Digital Loop Carrier product "Litespan 120", with 120-line electrical and
optical interfaces. Mr. Walding and his team defined the product, and
developed deployment, project, and business plans.
As Senior Director, Engineering, Mr. Walding lead and managed the DSC
engineering program for wireless local loop efforts in the United Kingdom, AIRSPAN, using
point-to-multipoint CDMA / Spread Spectrum technologies. In his final position with
DSC as Senior Director, ATM / Frame Relay Group, he was responsible for developing an ATM
and Frame Relay program which met customer's networking needs with rapid program
development times and low cost. Mr. Walding mastered ATM / Frame Relay interworking
requirements and assisted in establishment of OEM arrangements, agreements for hardware,
software, and corporate partners.
Following this comprehensive history of hands-on technical and business
experiences, technical insight and across-the-board insight, Mr. Walding began CellStream,
Inc., a telecommunications consulting firm based in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX metroplex. He
also has become a proud member of the Technical Faculty of Telecommunications Research
Associates (TRA) and has trained thousands of fellow telecommunications professionals in
emerging technology.
Mr. Walding has authored many industry documents
including a two day course on MPLS/GMPLS and currently has three US patents and
one patent pending, on subjects of wireless call
bandwidth allocation, network access adapters, an ATM/FR interoperating system and
signaling between elements of a communications network. Below is a summary of
Mr. Walding's experience. You can find a copy of Mr. Walding's resume or a detailed
