Gary Thom, President of Delta Information Systems, won the Lawrence Rauch Award on October 24, 2017 at the International Telemetry Conference in Las Vegas, NV.
Gary’s article, “A Proposed Revision to IRIG 218 Based on Real World Experience” was awarded Best Paper on Telemetry Standards. The article reviews experiences from the last decade of designing, installing, troubleshooting and optimizing telemetry data distribution over IP networks. This paper describes a proposed revision to IRIG 218 based on these real life experiences and discusses the critical decisions and architectural decisions to be made and some of the pitfalls to be avoid.
Gary presented his paper in an ITC Technical Session to nearly 50 attendees. For questions and comments, see contact information below:
