Dr.
Lucantoni founded IsoQuantic Technologies with Dr.
Patrick Reilly in 1994. IQ Tech provides a family
of wireless telecommunications and analytical products,
plus a comprehensive range of engineering consulting services,
including technology training. The company is positioned
to support telecommunications network architecture, design,
and analysis needs in the areas of modern telecommunications
systems (e.g., cellular, satellite, GSM, PCS) to the public
with dramatic cycle time reductions. A partial
list of clients and projects includes:
Participate
on a technical due diligence team assessing the
performance of the satellite and ground systems
for the ICO global mobile satellite system.
Interview major subcontractors, e.g., NEC London,
NEC Tokyo, NEC Melbourne, Hughes Space and Comsat.
Assess cost models used in the Satellite System
Business Plan. Perform probabilistic assessment
of launch failure scenarios.
Provide
algorithms and custom software for approximating
long-range dependent data traffic (e.g., IP or broadband)
with a Markovian Arrival Process. Provide algorithms
and custom software for computing appropriate performance
measures to be used for engineering such a network.
General
performance analysis for the Astrolink broadband
satellite system. Assessed loss of efficiency
of imposing various constraints on the Demand Assignment
Multiple Access (DAMA) algorithms. Performed buffer
sizing studies for aspects of the Astrolink system.
Began
assessment of Internet telephony as both a threat
and an opportunity to AT&T long distance revenues.
Prepared an internal management presentation
on Choices in Packet Telephony.
Provided
continuing consulting services for performance analysis
and architecture for a start-up wireless company
building a PCS1900 Base Station Controller (BSC)
and a Base Transceiver System (BTS) using smart-radio
technology. Supervised in-house development
of a system-level simulation. Designed the
dynamic resource allocation algorithm for a PCS1900
Base Station Subsystem (BSS). Presented the
paper "Supporting ATM on Low-Earth Orbit Satellite
Systems" at the ITC Specialists Seminar in Amsterdam.
General
performance analysis for the IridiumT Low-Earth
Orbit (LEO) satellite system. Consulting
through GORCA
in Moorestown, NJ, continued development of a crucial
resource allocation algorithm operating in real
time on-board the satellite vehicle. Created
risk models to determine insurance strategies for
coping with potentially unreliable launch vehicles
in the initial deployment of the IridiumT system.
Recruited and established a Network Integrity
Support Team to focus on performance aspects of
the IridiumT system.
