|
Expert has been working in the telecommunications field for about 40 years. He started his career at Bell Telephone Laboratories where he worked on the development of T1 Carrier, the first digital telephone system in the world, from its conception to mass production. It turned out to be the most successful transmission system ever developed by BTL. T1 was the beginning of the conversion of the telecommunication networks of the world to digital. He spent the rest of his career working on the process of converting the rest of the telecom network to an all digital network.

|
|
After seven years at BTL, Expert went to Western Union to accept the challenge of building a nationwide digital network. He led the development of digital transmission on microwave radio, the first T1 channel bank capable of carrying a mix of voice and data, a synchronous data terminal capable of carrying large numbers of sychronous data bit streams with very efficient use of a 64 kbps T1 time slot and the first
digital network synchronization system in the world to be designed, implemented and demonstrated in a field trial. He published the first paper on digital network synchronization
in which he explained that they used Loran C to lock high quality local clocks in each office to the atomic clock in the Naval Observatory in Washington, DC. Years later MCI adopted his system for their digital network synchronization. To this day the only change in his system has been the use of GPS instead of Loran C and every nationwide digital network company has gone to his system using GPS.

After working for Western Union, Expert worked on the planning and systems engineering of digital switching, digital microwave radio, ISDN and optical fiber cable systems. With respect to the latter subject he planned, engineered and deployed the first long-wavelength multimode optical fiber cable system in the U.S., the first single mode optical fiber system in the U.S. and three Fiber-to-the Home loop systems. He planned engineered and led four ISDN trials. For about five years he was a member of the T1 Committee which created standards inputs for ANSI and ITU. During his time on the committee the ISDN and SS7 standards were created as well as a preliminary SONET standard. At various times he took courses in ISDN (Q.931), packet switching networks and SS7. For three years, he taught short courses all over the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico. These courses contained details including protocols on the following subjects: SS7, ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, X.25, a little on IP, LAN, WAN, routers, switches, optical fiber cable, optical fiber cable systems, cellular radio and PCS.

|
|
In the mid-80's, he taught a course on Communication Satellite Systems. As a Senior Member of the IEEE, he led ISDN Symposiums every two years for 20 years. These symposiums shaped the progress of ISDN from its beginnings to its current fruition. Because of Expert's constant effort throughout his career to bring about the all-digital nationwide network, he was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in January 1997 with the following citation: For leadership in the planning and deployment of all-digital telecommunications networks.
