Speakers
Dr. Richard Selby
Development of Telecommunications (LMAG lecture)
Richard Selby is a Life Member of the IEEE. He was born in the UK and worked for many years in the telecommunications industry for a British company.
His work in the telecoms industry took him to many countries beginning (in 1968) with Bermuda, operating and maintaining shortwave radiotelephone links to the USA, and ship to shore radio links. He was also involved in the NASA communications links, providing "high speed data" of 2.8 kb/s and 3.2kb/s between Bermuda, and the US tracking ships in the North Atlantic using HF radio.
As technology advanced, so did Richard's work, involving him in analogue submarine cable systems, tropospheric scatter radio systems, satellite earth station technology, radio broadcasting (with the BBC), and concluding (in the late 1980s) with optical fibre systems for the UK's recently liberalised telecoms market.
Richard has been working as a lecturer in the Management and Marketing department at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague since 2002.
