Oscar H. McKee
Oscar McKee has over twenty-five years of experience in the research, design, and development of advanced communication systems. He began his career in the United States Air Force where he initially worked in the design and development of sophisticated spread spectrum intercept systems. One of the follow-on products of the work done on spread spectrum communications systems by the defense industry is the technology now employed in wireless mobile communications equipment.
After retiring from the Air Force Oscar worked in the defense industry in the Boston and New York City areas. He worked for Sanders Associates in Nashua, New Hampshire, and ITT Avionics Division in Nutley, New Jersey.
In 1996 Oscar joined Omnipoint Communications during the timeframe when the company was just initiating its design of the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) wireless mobile phone network for the New York Major Trading Area (NYMTA). He began as an RF Engineering consultant, but was asked to join the company fulltime as its Director of RF Engineering in October of that year.
In January 1999 Oscar was promoted to the position of Director of Operations and Optimization. He held that position until the company was bought out by Deutsche Telecom. Deutsche Telecom now operates the NYMTA GSM network that was initially designed by Oscar and his team of over 110 engineers and technicians as T-Mobile.
In January 2002 Oscar started O-MC Signal Research, Inc. as a small business concentrating on wireless design and development. The company bids on projects ranging from mobile cell site design to in-building wireless projects for mobile phone networks and WiFi hot spot systems using IEEE 802.11 a/b/g and n.
