Gareth P. McIntosh, Senior Vice President of Engineering
Gary McIntosh brings to the Bresnan management team an extensive background in domestic and international engineering related to telecommunications system design.
Mr. McIntosh joined Bresnan in 1994, assuming responsibility for all engineering and technical operations. He has designed and supervised construction of state-of-the-art Hybrid Fiber-Coax systems for the Company both in the U.S. and abroad, including major rebuilds of its domestic plant and development of leading-edge systems for its former cable operations in Poland and Chile. In Poland he also was responsible for the early deployment of cable telephony. In Chile he oversaw a rapid development plan that resulted in the build-out or upgrade of over 5,000 kilometers of HFC plant in only 15 months.
He began his career with Rediffusion Ltd., one of the world’s first -- and Britain’s largest -- cable system operators. Subsequently, he moved to the BBC, where among other broadcast activities he helped to install Britain’s first 625-line facilities. He later joined a subsidiary of British Airways which fulfilled various communications and electronics contracts and services for overseas clients in aeronautics and other fields. After serving with Lindsay CATV Canada as its General Manager and Chief Engineer, Mr. McIntosh joined Canadian-based Rogers Cable Systems, where he progressed to the position of Vice President of Engineering, Canada. At Rogers, in addition to his normal cable television responsibilities, he was involved in the initial implementation stages of a national Canadian cellular communications system.
Upon joining Fundy Cable in Canada as Vice President of Engineering, he assumed responsibility for its domestic operations in cable, broadcasting and manufacturing, and also played an instrumental role in developing Fundy’s joint cable/telephony system in the U.K. During his employment with Fundy, he was awarded the Canadian Cable Television Association’s Annual Award for Cable TV Technical Innovation.
Mr. McIntosh studied at Llandaff College of Advanced Technology in Wales, graduating as a Chartered Engineer through the U.K. Institute of Electronic and Radio Engineers. |
