Past Experiences
- CapRock Communications, a telecommunications company providing IP satellite communications to energy, maritime and government customers on a global basis. When the company needed to replace legacy applications with a service management tool and customer portal, Ms. Ralston provided the systems roadmap, increased staff, and shepherded the company’s infrastructure through multiple integration projects using SOA principles.
- Newtone Communications, a Class 5 softswitch company, had failed to secure $5M Series B venture capital. Within eight weeks of joining the firm, Ms. Ralston defined the product line, created the business plan, website content, pro-forma P&L and investor presentation. This effort raised $10.5 M, oversubscribed by $500,000 in 2001.
- When Wytec needed capital to leverage broadband wireless into digital, telephony, IP and MPEG-2 video delivery, Ms. Ralston developed an innovative wireless network architecture and business plan and was a key presenter to potential investors in China, the Philippines and Australia. Her efforts attracted $7M+ capital investments to the broadband wireless startup.
- When demand for multiple lines outstripped line-supply and wired broadband projects were proving fruitless for US West, Ms. Ralston was assigned to develop a wireless implementation to transmit from main panels to network nodes. As hands-on leader of a five-engineer team, she developed a unique architecture and method for utilizing interactive broadband wireless transmissions and routing services, doubling existing plant capacity at a nominal cost. The result was patented in the US and 50+ countries.
