Jay Salkini is founder, president and Chief Executive Officer of Tecore
Networks. He envisioned, developed and patented a wireless technology
that has been installed in networks around the globe.
Background
and education
Growing
up fascinated with electronics, Jay attended Florida Atlantic
University (FAU) in order to turn his childhood interest into an
academic pursuit and career. As he studied for his Bachelor of
Science in Electronic Engineering, Jay worked part-time at IBM.
Following his graduation, he took a position at Siemens working on
software development for telecommunications switching systems.
During that time, he continued his academic pursuit, attaining a
Masters in Computer Engineering, after which he went on to join
Nortel as a consultant. Over the years, Jay developed significant
experience in wireless communications, which was a nascent field at
the time, but has since become one of the fastest growing industries
worldwide. He founded Tecore Networks in 1991.
Patents
Jay
Salkini has the following patents to his name:
1.
Multi-protocol wireless communication apparatus and method:
U.S.
Patents No.
6,912,230
and 7,733,901.
A scalable, multi-protocol mobile switching center in a wireless
communications network provides communications control for digital
and analog wireless communications devices including devices that
operate according to GSM and IS-41 standards. The hardware and
software architecture of the switching center is designed so that
processing that is unique to a particular protocol is performed at
the lowest possible level, and the remaining processing can use
generic procedures. The switching center incorporates a home location
register and visitor location register that are used in conjunction
with software applications to determine the protocol of mobile
communications devices using the wireless communications network. The
mobile switching center can be used to provide a large scale
distributed wireless network or a small scale wireless network. The
switching center can also be used as an adjunct to a private branch
exchange to provide in-building wireless services and call control.
Graphical user interfaces make the wireless communications network
easy to maintain.
2.
Position location for airborne networks:
U.S.
Patent No. 7,460,866.
A wireless communications system, and a corresponding method, for use
with an aircraft, includes airborne pico cell base stations mounted
on the aircraft, the base stations capable of communication with
wireless devices used by subscribers on the aircraft using
switching/transaction processing equipment located optionally on the
aircraft or in the ground network with one or more ground-based
networks. The system includes aircraft location equipment, in
communication with the base stations, that determine the aircraft's
location, including latitude, longitude, altitude, and other relevant
data. Finally, the system includes a wireless communications
enable/disable module that receives the aircraft's location and
enables and disables wireless communications through the base
stations based on the aircraft's location.
