Larry Taylor

Discrete Time Communications, United Kingdom - Retired, Former Consultant

Larry has spent much of his career working to obtain spectrum for new or emerging communications technologies, supporting spectrum requests with industry and international standards, participating in conferences, workshops and funded R&D programs to promote the work and associated standards.

The work on HIPERLAN in ETSI RES10 supported the initial designation of 5 GHz spectrum on which today’s professional WLAN market is built. Work in IEEE and industry standards bodies supported the FFC UWB ruling for spectrum below 10,5 GHz.

Work on utility networks in IEEE, TIA, industry standards bodies and ETSI supported European spectrum designations at 870 MHz. He is a keen proponent of technical rigour and testability in standards and a strong supporter of the standards process and cross fertilisation between SDOs. He has led many technical committees in a variety of SDOs while also being a technical contributor and technical editor.
