It is with great emotion that I must inform everyone that
over the next few weeks 3 managers from DSMS: Normand Trickey, Alain Leduc and Denis Bergeron will leave for a well deserved retirement.
Each has left his mark on the Spectrum Management Program and
were very involved in the development of our IT tools for Spectrum Management.
Normand Trickey played an important role in the development,
upgrade and support for ISOC. In particular, the integration of ISOC and
Spectrum Explorer; the development of the capability to display the location of
the source of signals using the input from our monitoring system, the deployment
of a VPN communication system to connect remote systems and vehicles; and the
planning, installation and support of the monitoring systems for the 2010
Olympics and the G8/G20.
Normand will leave us on April 27th, 2011.
Alain Leduc has been a keen supporter of Object Oriented
Software development in Spectrum Management and oversaw the development of
several tools such as the Rural and Remote Broadband Systems (RRBS) and the
Radio Exposure calculation for SC6 module with HiField.
Denis Bergeron was prime in the development, upgrade and
support for FM/Navcom and AM Studio and was responsible for planning and
deploying MKS software management system.
Alain will leave on May 16th and
Denis on May 20th,
2011.
Finally, I would like to thank them for their contribution
over the years and to wish them a happy retirement.
