PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
2003 to Present. Wireless CATV Systems, Inc. Boynton Beach, Florida.
President. Wireless CATV Systems is a consulting firm researching Wireless Transmission Systems. The research included the viability of wireless systems for municipal and consumer systems. These included consumer "triple play" systems and point-to-point microwave systems for educational applications. The Company prepared bids for non-domestic wireless video systems utilizing 12G GHz and 18 GHz frequencies. Research on newly awarded FCC licenses in the MVDDS band for domestic wireless CATV systems. The FCC wanting to sponsor a third consumer alternative for cable television, created the MVDDS (Multipoint Video and Data Distribution) band. The research included the adaptation of VMSK techniques for video compression. VMSK is an ultra narrow band modulation technique, which can permit the transmission of up to 60-channel video capability through single standard 6 MHz analogue channel.September 1994 to 2003. EagleView Technologies, Inc. Boca Raton, Florida
. President. Privately funded wireless company founded by M. Paolini to enter the wireless cable industry. Research into digital transmission systems. Patent pending for Ethernet transmission inside existing FCC approved video spectrum envelope. Acquisition of licenses-----EagleView Technologies, Inc. acquired MDS-1 Stations in Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville Florida, and Chattanooga Tennessee and Tulsa Oklahoma. Research into two way wireless Ethernet systems. Implemented field tests for long distance point-to-point Ethernet transmission in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Formed subsidiary EagleView Industries, Inc which was merged into Distinctive Devices, Inc. (OTCBB "DDEV"). Constructed major array system in Union City, NJ, demonstrating direct 2 megabit two way Internet connectivity directly through glass windows in Manhattan.1992 to 1994 MFI-InstaVision Boca Raton, Florida.
President. Revitalized inactive public corporation and implemented medical imaging business. Projects included dental endoscope, image enhancement and processing software for storage and retrieval on rewritable optical disks. In addition, systems were implemented utilizing real time (30 frames per second) digital video image storage and retrieval on 486 IBM compatible computers as well as from a novell network.1990 to1992. Viewsonics Inc. Boca Raton, Florida. Chief Engineer for six million dollar annual sales cable television equipment supplier. Designs include 1 GHZ passives and amplifiers, as well as MMDS converters in the 2 GHZ band. Designed and implemented 12 station novell network which included ten module accounting system to handle all aspects of the business including order entry and inventory control. System also included three engineering CAD stations for RF design and PCB layout. Systems included EESOF,RFCAD, AUTOCAD. Specified and implemented lab equipment up grade to state of the art measurement systems utilizing HP network analyzers and computer controlled interactive measurement (DOS-HPITG) techniques.
1988 to 1990: Audio Intelligence Devices, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. RF Design Engineer. The Company manufactures miniature surveillance equipment and vehicle tracking devices for Federal and municipal law enforcement agencies. "Hands on" rf designs have included a miniature fm transmitter concealed in a working pocket pager, a digitally synthesized fm receiver in the 150-174 MHz range, and miniature color video transmitters in the 470, 900, and 2000 MHz range. Developed several computer programs to facilitate rf designs of antennas, varactor tuned oscillators, strip line filters, and microstrip oscillators. Experienced in several CAD programs, including AUTOCAD, MATHCAD, and SCHEMA.
1986 to 1988: Data Based Video, Inc., Boca Raton, Florida. President and controlling shareholder. This privately funded company did research in the integration of computer databases with large video optical bulk storage devices. The research resulted in a patent application for a transmission system that will permit 100 simultaneous interactive real time applications (such as travel, real estate, and home shopping) over a single cable television channel or satellite channel.
1984-1986: Compupix Technology, Inc., Boca Raton, Florida. President. Compupix was a research and development company investigating computer algorithms for the compression of high definition television signals.
