Dr. Bali has over twenty five years of telecommunication industry experience as a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies. At Bell Labs, Dr. Bali was engaged in the development and management of various networking technologies associated with circuit switched voice, data, and converged networks. He developed many of the initial IN and switched services architectures which were later incorporated into industry standards. He led a variety of forward looking projects to prototype new networking products and services. His team built the first IP gateway switch during the early years of voice-overthe-net. He was responsible for maintaining and evolving company’s Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) technology. His network design and planning expertise includes developing architectures for circuit switched telephony, self-healing backbone undersea cable networks, internet and VoIP services architectures over cable and HFC networks, and wireless networks. He has extensive product knowledge of telephony IN networks (5ESS, STPs, SCPs), data networks (routers, switches), wireless networks (Base Stations, MSCs) and presently evolving converged networks (IMS network components). He has contributed in the development and evolution of ATM, TCP/IP, and SONET/SDH technologies. His team contributed to the development of VoIP protocols such as H323 and SIP. He has led studies on numbering and routing and participated in standards bodies (ITU-T and ETSI) to address number portability, addressing and routing issues associated with satellite networks and converged services.
