RIM Semiconductor Co.

With over 20 years experience creating shareholder value through broadband telecommunications products and services Brad Ketch became Rim Semi s President and CEO December 2002. Previously, Mr. Ketch served as CEO of Kentrox, a manufacturer and marketer of data networking equipment. At Kentrox, Mr. Ketch was responsible for a company with 260 employees and $90 million in annual revenues. In 1999 he co-founded HyperEdge Corporation (now Westell), and also served as Senior Vice President. HyperEdge acquired and integrated broadband access equipment manufacturers to further enable service providers to deliver broadband access to the "Last Mile". He held prior positions with Advanced Fibre Communications (now Tellabs), Nortel Networks, and Cincinnati Bell. Mr. Ketch has an MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, and a B.A. in Economics from Wheaton College.

Mr. Wojcik has more than 15 years of experience in the telecommunications industry and a proven record of success as a technical and marketing executive with Alcatel, DSC Communications, Tellabs and Neutral Tandem. He has led sales, product and market development efforts to major Regional Bell companies, municipalities, and independent telephone operating companies including SBC, Qwest and MCI. He is now an executive at one of Rim Semiconductor s target customers. Alcatel is a global multi-billion dollar data and telecommunications manufacturer, and currently commands 40% of the worldwide DSLAM port shipments, according to Dittberner Associates. Rim Semiconductor s product, the Cupria family of transport processors, operates inside DSLAMs. At Alcatel, Mr. Wojcik served as vice president of sales where he developed and led a new broadband solutions organization, and also turned around a poor performing business group into a long term balanced revenue stream. Under his leadership, Alcatel achieved new incremental business growth of over 400% within a 30 month period including growing the broadband solutions market an incremental $40M while achieving high margins. Prior to joining Alcatel, Mr. Wojcik served in a variety of capacities with DSC Communications, which was purchased by Alcatel in 1998. He was instrumental in helping DSC establish its market leading position in DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and NGDLC (Next Generation Digital Loop Carrier) with the Bell Operating companies and other major carriers. Mr. Wojcik also served at Chief Technical Officer and founder of Neutral Tandem Corporation where he co-developed the business plan and assisted with completion of the patent. Mr. Wojcik was a consultant to the company in 2005, and now advises as a member of our Technical Advisory Board.

Dr. David Greaves, MIEE, completed his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in 1989 on the subject of ATM metropolitan area networks. For four years he was a research engineer at Olivetti Research in Cambridge, where he developed ATM prototype switches and line interfaces. He was one of the first advocates of ATM technology outside the core network. In 1993, he was network architect for the Cambridge Interactive Television Trial, which was the world's first test bed to provide ATM network connectivity all the way to the home. This trial ran for 18 months and served more than 50 homes and schools. Currently he is a University Lecturer in Cambridge and also Chief Scientist at Virata Corporation, a leading supplier of ASICs and software for DSL applications. Dr. Greaves is also involved with AT&T, BT, AMG Ltd and Tenisontech Ltd. Dr. Greaves is currently a member of the Systems Research Group and undertakes research in the area of hardware design and system specification with an emphasis on networking. He has recently been working on tools for the Verilog language using formal methods and the HOL theorem prover and is now applying these techniques to more general hardware and software system specification and codesign using high-level languages. In the Hanlan project, Dr. Greaves and his group are investigating the integration of media-access control and VDSL modem design for high-performance networking over home phone wiring within the home. This project integrates ATM and Frame traffic at the physical layer and uses novel synchronization techniques to avoid preambles, which would otherwise dominate and reduce efficiency. In a similar way to mobile multimedia radio projects, issues of the variability of available bandwidth to higher layers may eventually affect application, protocol and QoS vector design. In the Warren project, Dr. Greaves' group designed and implemented a complete home multimedia network architecture and parts of this work are being standardized. An extensive position paper describing this work appeared in the January 1998 Edition of IEEE Networking Magazine. In the Autohan project, Dr. Greaves' group is investigating the use of declarative languages based on composite events to control and monitor networks, with a view to providing intuitive and intelligent user interfaces to home networks. Dr. Greaves serves Rim Semiconductor as a member of our Technical Advisory Board.

Dr. Propp co-founded Adaptive Networks with his brother David. Dr. Propp is the co-inventor of Adaptive's technology, and holds key patents in powerline communications technology. He is also the author of several papers in the fields of complex dynamic systems and Powerline communications. Dr. Propp is a U.S. representative to the IEC for Technical Committee 57, Working Group 09, Distribution Automation Using Distribution Line Carrier Systems and is Chair of CEA R7.3 Home Networking Subcommittee WG1. Dr. Propp holds SB/SM EE (1981) and Ph.D. EE (1985) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
