Mr. Kim Booth, born 21.Octber 1953 in Birmingham, was
employed in our company from 1.January 1988 until 31.March
1991 as a hardware developer. He worked in the "Broadband
Communication" department.
Owing to his excellent knowledge, he succeeded in quickly
getting up-to-speed on new projects. He was always in demand
when questions arose in the project teams.
Within the project "Optical Transmission systems" Mr.
Booth successfully developed a PCM interface module for the
transmission of PCM coded signals at bit-rates of 2 and 8
Mbit/s. He subsequently reworked the circuit of the basecard
for the transmission system.
The BERKOM project was to develop and evaluate broadband
ISDN terminal equipment. Within this project, Mr. Booth
successfully developed an adapter card to attach a
VMEbus-based workstation to the S0 bus of the ISDN network.
The processor on this adapter processed the D-channel
protocol, communicating with the exchange. To test this
card, he developed a number of assembler programmes and
produced complete manunfacturing and test documentation. The
results of his work were of a very good quality, the
documentation of his development was exemplary.
On 1.January 1990 we made Mr. Booth project-leader for
the ongoing development and productisation of the network
and protocol adapter boards for the BERKOM network. This was
owing to his particular ability to identify complex
problems, define clear concepts and to plan the
implementation well, not to mention his very positive
cooperation with his colleagues.
We have Mr. Booth, and his well-founded knowledge in the
area of microelectronics and CAE development methods, to
thank for our currently high level of computer supported
hardware development. He was always very keen and well
focussed, pushing on the tasks allocated to him whilst
also considering unconventional approaches to the problems
to be solved.
Mr. Booth is popular and respected. His behaviour towards
his colleagues and managers was always faultless.
Mr. Booth leaves the company at his own wish. We thank
him for his active contribution and for his ongoing
professional and private life, we wish him all the best.
