As Director, he managed the development of a Digital Loop Carrier product "Litespan 120", with 120-line electrical andoptical 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, Mr. Walding founded CellStream,Inc., a telecommunications consulting firm based in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX metroplex. He also became a member and author of the Technical Faculty of Telecommunications ResearchAssociates (TRA), and has since trained thousands of fellow telecommunications professionals in emerging technologies. Mr. Walding has authored many industry documents including hands on courses on Ethernet, IP, Routing, MPLS/GMPLS and currently has five US patents, on subjects of wireless call bandwidth allocation, network access adapters, an ATM/FR interoperating system and signaling between elements of a communications network.

Telecom Italia reported at the November 2011 IPv6 conference that one of their biggest challenges was to get their staff trained on IPv6. Make sure your organization has a plan to train their staff, not just their network engineers on IPv6. You can find IPv6 training classes here.
