I worked as part of a team who developed a novel communications method to reliably transmit audiovisual data throughout a building. This novel network distributed multiple Audio Visual (e.g HDTV) streams throughout a building. Real-time switching of AV streams between the WLAN(802.11n) and PLC(HomeplugAV) subnetworks was achieved. A provisional patent was filed with the European and US Patent offices. • Leadership and project management skills • The team included postgraduate students from other countries and cultures • Linux based software development • Detailed understanding of the IP, Ethernet, 802.11 and Homeplug AV network and communications protocols• Low-level interfacing with PLC chipsets• Ixia network performance testing• Interaction with international chipset and subsystem vendors
