Design, Marketing and Management of Antenna Sites

Mr. Couprie has designed and managed antenna sites for Motorola
Canada Inc., for Telus and for ATCO Electric. These sites have
included ground-based towers, rooftops and mountaintops, and
have accommodated systems using VHF, UHF and microwave
frequencies. He was responsible for developing a marketing
program and administrative systems that resulted in a
quadrupling of revenues for one system over a four-year period.
He has recently conducted surveys to determine compliance with
standards for RF exposure as published by Health Canada in
Safety Code 6.

Design and Implementation of Mobile Radio Systems

Systems designed by Mr. Couprie are in use throughout Western
Canada. Major installations have been used by police, fire and
ambulance systems, as well as by electric power utilities.
Public systems designed and implemented include the former
Edmonton Telephones (now Telus Mobility) cellular and public
trunked networks. Systems varied in size from single sites to
major industrial facilities to province-wide coverage, and
include dispatch voice, paging, telephone interconnect and data
applications.

Recent projects include evaluation of tenders for a 3100 unit
transit and public works system in Alberta and design of an
eight site AMPS cellular network in northwestern Ontario.



Design and Implementation of Point-to-Point Radio Systems

A number of microwave, VHF and UHF point-to-point systems have
been designed by or under the direction of Mr. Couprie. He has
worked with equipment from Farinon, Alcatel, MDS, Nortel,
Western Multiplex and most North American VHF and UHF radio
manufacturers. Systems have included analogue and digital
multiplexers from many different manufacturers.

Recent projects include the design of two large (27 hop 5.8 GHz
and fifteen hop 2.4/5.8 GHz) spread spectrum networks for
Alberta school divisions and a twelve hop 8 GHz microwave
network in northwestern Ontario.
Design and Implementation of Telephone Systems

Mr. Couprie has designed and implemented many office and
industrial telephone systems that have incorporated incoming
call centers, call management, radio interconnect and
videoconferencing. He has worked with key and PBX systems from
