On February 21st at 1pm, Jon Powell, The North American Sales Manager for Advanced Fiber Products, will do a presentation for us and we’ll be meeting at Town Square Television’s conference room (thanks Joe!). This will be a luncheon meeting and the info for John is below:
Here's a Google map link to Town Square Television in Inver Grove Heights.
Here's the bio & brief -
The presentation runs about 50-60 minutes. It covers the basics of fiber technology, terminology, and its broadcast application, with a focus on real-world, field use. It's designed to be a refresher and technology update for the station engineer who hasn't had to deal extensively with fiber up to this point...

On March 20th, we’ll be meeting at Bormann Marketing in Hopkins, for a look at some new Audio Technica microphone products. I believe this will be a luncheon meeting as well. John’s firm reps a number of pro-audio products including Audio Technica (www.bormann.com). He would also be willing to do some additional stuff with us if there’s further interest in some of his other products.
For April 17th, we’ll be meeting at US Internet (USI Wireless) at their Minnetonka headquarters. US Internet is the wireless provider for the city of Minneapolis, and has started a pilot project within the city for fiber-to-the-home. One of my colleagues has participated in the project and has 30 Mbps symmetrical service for 24.95 a month. We’ll get a tour and a look at what they’re planning for the future.
On May 15th David Rusch, from Orban, will do a presentation on their latest products for digital signal processing. Don’t know yet whether this will be a luncheon meeting, but it will be held at Town Square Television’s conference room.
