Tropic Networks, a leading company providing optical packet networking systems to carriers in metropolitan area networks, today announced that Colin Kelly Colin Purdie Kelly, Jr. (July 11, 1915 – December 10, 1941). Born in Madison, Florida, he was a World War II B-17 Flying Fortress pilot who flew bombing runs against the Japanese navy in the first days after the Pearl Harbor attack. , director of optical architecture, will present at the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference. The conference is scheduled for July 8 - 12, 2001. The 17th annual event is focused on the fiber optic technologies, capabilities and platforms of today's evolving telecommunications networks A telecommunications network is a of telecommunications links and nodes arranged so that messages may be passed from one part of the network to another over multiple links and through various nodes. and will feature presentations by Nortel Networks (Nortel Networks Limited, Brampton, Ontario, www.nortelnetworks.com) A world leader in telecommunications products, which includes switching, wireless and broadband systems for service providers and carriers, telephones and systems for residential and business users, computer telephony , Corvis, Williams Communications and Tellium. Colin Kelly will be joined by representatives from Coriolis Networks, MAYAN Networks and Telecordia Techologies and will discuss metro network economics. Kelly will address how multi-hop waveband wave·band n. A range of frequencies, especially radio frequencies, such as those assigned to communication transmissions. waveband Noun routed networks may be utilized for cost-effective metropolitan area network scaling. Emphasis will be placed on band routing as a cost effective means of balancing initial network costs and future scaling operational costs. Colin Kelly brings more than 15 years of experience in optical systems to Tropic Networks. Previously, Kelly was senior technical lead, optical architecture for next generation terabit routers for Cisco. Kelly also held the position of senior systems engineer with Cambrian Systems and was part of Nortel Network's OC-192 design team. His area of expertise includes optical systems, high-speed clock recovery and system synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. , and high-speed electronics and optoelectronics. Kelly graduated with distinction from the University of Alta earning both a Bachelor's of Science and Master's of Science in electrical engineering electrical engineering: see engineering. electrical engineering Branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of electricity in all its forms, including those of electronics. .
