PULSE TELECOM - Key Persons
Barbara's career began as a Registered Nurse in her native New Zealand. Since 1995, she has worked in the Pacific, Asia, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, in both the medical profession and then later in the telecommunications sector. She completed formal international culture awareness training in Koninklijke Instituut voor de Tropen (KIT), Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Since 2004, Barbara has been working full time in the Telecommunications sector, bringing the "human touch" to a very logical, technical, and machine-driven sector. Barbara has international experience in project management for telecom operator, regulatory authority, and tower company clients. She particularly enjoys network and service-related projects and now specializes in network inventory management and network auditing.
Barbara has an eye for detail and looks forward to using her project management and peoples skills for the benefit of international Telcos.
David began developing software in his formative years as a hobby. After working in the banking and finance industries he formed Dalyn Software Ltd in 1993. As a financial advisor he recognised the need for a well-crafted database to handle his prospects, clients and accounts and there was nothing suitable on the market. The database David developed was used by centres throughout NZ and in America.
Since then, Dalyn Software has grown to provide reliable customised database systems for many different clients in a large range of sectors including telecommunication, electricity, gas and oil, health, printing, manufacturing, research, banking, security, and local government. He can confidently build custom database systems for any sector and is adept at learning new fields quickly.
Pulse Telecom is an exciting new project that David has enthusiastically embraced and he looks forward to providing for the needs of the Telco industry.
Henry is a seasoned Consulting Technical Project Manager in telecommunications with a passion for technology. He has extensive international experience in 5G, telecommunications, project management, consulting and training. Henry is the founding partner of Pulse Telecom, a consultancy company specialising in new technologies and the network manager to make the new technologies increase revenue and decrease costs.
Henry has worked with and for operators, vendors, regulators and consultancy firms in the Pacific, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Caribbean for more than 35 years. He started his career working on the PSTN with the New Zealand Post Office. At that time, the technology consisted of Step-by-Step and Crossbar switching equipment interconnected with FDM analogue transmission. As his career progressed, Henry started working with SPC switches, TDM transmission, and in recent years the XGPON, MPLS and OTN networks that now carry voice calls using VoIP technology.
Henry first became interested in mobile telecommunication in 1995. He had helped Lucent Technologies integrate its first GSM network into Saudi Arabia in a project known as TEP6.
From these early days, Henry has worked with many operators and vendors on the technology that is now a high speed data network using IP-based networks with virtualised nodes residing in the cloud.
Henry considers that 5G is the latest and the most exciting of the mobile technologies to date. The massive changes between 4G and 5G are evident throughout the entire technology, including radio, core, charging, LI, security, services, transmission, OSS, BSS, regulation, spectrum and mobile co-location/infrastructure sharing, just to name a few.
Having seen so many different networks around the world, and having worked with so many Telco's, Henry is very keen to share his telecom knowledge with others. He is very interested in sharing what he sees are solutions that work and solutions that "don't work quite as well".
Telecom, and now especially 5G, is always close to his heart, as are his passion for travel, people, training, mentoring and island lifestyles.
Henry holds a New Zealand and a Dutch passport and speaks English, Dutch and German, is a keen videographer and has attended numerous cultural and business awareness courses in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Lyn was a Systems Librarian for the National Library of New Zealand. Her ability to analyse problems and devise solutions provided many improvements to the running of that organisation. From there she moved into writing procedure manuals for corporates where she used her ability to understand new concepts and write them in a way that others could follow. Lyn enjoys bringing these skills to Pulse Telecom.
