System design of the world`s first 48 kilobit transatlantic computer data circuit. This design provided transport of NASA`s unified "S" band up- and down- links for the first manned lunar landing by Apollo XI, and alternately 12 telephone tielines of data quality when not in lunar mission use.

Also, operational restoration of NASA`s first data circuit between Greenbelt, Maryland and Santiago, Chile; sustaining 2400 bps synchronous data on a complex of domestic landline, international submarine cable, HF (short-wave) radio and local VHF radio. Conventional theory held this circuit should never have worked, yet it sustained an uptime record of 98% for several years until a satellite replacement was available.

Also, activation of 5 data grade circuits between Ascension Island (Atlantic Ocean) and NASA HQ in Greenbelt, Maryland. Operational requirements of the Ascension Island earth station mandated routing via US earth stations that conventional theory held would not sustain data communications, yet fully satisfactory operation was provided.

Also, emergency operational restoration of the 48 kilobit circuit previously mentioned due to the first failure of a satellite in orbit just 48 hours prior to the first manned moonwalk mission. An immediate restoration using a dozen removed-from-use transatlantic public telephone circuits permitted the launch of Apollo XI and Americans walking on the moon by decade's end as John Kennedy had promised.

A complex transatlantic voice/data network of circuits terminating on Burnham's trading desk at Philadelphia for ringdown use during trading days; with alternate access at Paris, France and Zurich, Switzerland for use as a data circuit during other hours. This circuit simultaneously sustained three private message circuits, two from New York to Paris and one carried onward to Zurich. Also, the world's first interconnected dial tieline between New York and Brussels, Belgium, simultaneously providing two private message channels in addition to telephone speech.

Operational sufficiency audit and rectification of private message circuits between Tokyo and Brussels that had been plagued with intermittent failures for years. One day of investigation clearly isolated the failures to microwave systems in the Mountain states of the US. Fault clearance was then rapidly and permanently effected.

Provision of a group of data-grade alternate 2-wire/4-wire presented dial repeating tielines between Schenectady, New York and Paris, France. These circuits were open-ended at both ends and frequently provided connections such as Johannesburg to Tokyo or Mexico City to Baghdad.

The world`s first 14,400 bps airline reservation data circuit between Tokyo and London. Conventional theory held that even 9600 bps could not be sustained over such a globe-spanning distance, yet operation provided less than one bit error per ten million long-term.

A worldwide network of data-grade voice tielines that gave priority to data in place of voice at a moment`s notice. Previous civilian designs did the opposite, but Mocotta`s needs were to flash orders for sales at the turn of a market, distributing pre-arranged orders instantly. Common practice did not provide for this needed reversal, so Mocotta had suffered a series of failures at the hands of common carriers.

A network of 14,400 bps data circuits to not only remote US nuclear power plant construction sites, but also to international locations such as Singapore and London; used in support of project management for major construction projects worldwide.

The world`s first 14,400 bps data circuits to remote areas in British Columbia, achieving as much capacity on a single international voice grade circuit as had previously required a pair of 9600 bps circuits with inverse multiplexers.

The secure ("scrambled") voice circuit from Saigon to Paris used for the Paris peace talks on Vietnam. The circuit operated routinely at a 4800 bps data rate, despite its reach across two oceans and more than half the world.

Also, operational audit and correction of a number of secure voice circuits between the U. S. and European locations when DCS Technical Control methods had failed. One particular circuit had no failures for three years following a thorough treatment.

Also, a number of various military data-quality circuits used for both speech and data from numerous US locations to a variety of locations on virtually every continent. A number of these included special temporary facilities for traveling civilian and military leaders, providing them with communications facilities not normally available in the nation being visited.

Operational audit and correction of a complex, unique high capacity record communications system called Rectiplex, operating between Tokyo and New York. It had never achieved its designed capacity over such a great distance until this treatment.

Also, system conceptual design and planning, project management and realization of the first semi-automated Network Control Center used by ITT at New York, San Francisco, Washington, Miami, San Juan, Santo Domingo and Manila; the first such construction and operation in any International Record Carrier network worldwide.

System strategic design of a polled data network via existing two-way radio to enable automatic location reporting, passenger counting and vehicle/passenger condition. The first such fully-integrated system reporting all parameters on a single, unified transmission network.

Coordination and operational management of HF (short-wave) radio program relay of World Cup championship games, providing circuits of such quality that observers thought the relay was by satellite.

Program relays on regular daily schedules from a private yacht crossing the largely vacant waters of the South Pacific Ocean using HF (short-wave) radio, usually of such noise-free quality as to sound like a wireline.

System design of a T-1 network of integrated telephone tielines, data circuits and program channels linking the broadcaster`s several locations at far less cost and with far greater reliability than did more costly, poorer performing (even less reliable) individual analog circuits.

Measurements and evaluation of the risk of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Influence (EMI) hazards to the construction of a proposed data processing center, resulting in planning information to budget needed shielded into the building plan. A matter that neither computer manufacturers nor architects had been capable of addressing for the client.

Audit and correction plans for properly bonding and grounding a complex of telephones, computers and two-way radios that had grown to suffer repeated major lightning damage. No single supplier had provided a comprehensive plan, and attempts to have an electrical power advisor simply "ground" the problem had failed miserably.

Plans and implementation of microwave radio studio-to-transmitter (STL) links coordinated to automated remote control systems, utilizing on-hand hardware with integration into existing systems; saving considerable hardware purchase and capital expansion, while actually improving reliability and uptime beyond earlier, even human-attended operations.

Strategic product planning evaluation of a minicomputer-based software package for Building Cable and Wire Management, including research of the current level of competitive products and coordination to as yet unpublished national standards that their ultimate product will have to support.

Operational upgrade and management improvements for a critical data link between Akron, Ohio headquarters and Firestone`s European Technical Center in a suburb of Rome, Italy; providing constant and immediate interaction among Firestone's development staff worldwide. Reliability and availability demands on this link would surprise most observers of this 14,400 bps link providing multiple data and messaging applications as a routine matter.

On-site coordination, correction and commissioning of an emerging set of revisions for public telephone exchanges for a major, multi-state operating telephone company. When completed, each and every exchange passed exhaustive proof and load tests of its sufficiency for service, including all advanced public network functions required by regulatory commissions and company revenue plans.

Conversion of the classic IBM legacy networks of one of the largest U.S. air travel reservations networks and one of the top ten U.S. airlines to frame relay operation, using a variety of hubs, bridges, routers and FRADs in a harmonized IP network while maintaining network operations of both the old and new environments in a 24/7 production network spreading from far Pacific islands to continental Europe; reaching from Alaska to Peru, with interconnection via SITA and ARINC to points between and beyond the direct network.
