A highly acclaimed independent design
consultant, Dr. Johnson pioneered the
development of many new technologies
including Phonemail, the first integrated
voice messaging system, Gigabit Ethernet, as
chief technical editor for that standard,
and many other high-speed computing and
communications architectures. He is the
Signal Integrity columnist for EDN magazine
and lectures regularly at Oxford University
and selected corporate sites worldwide.
General
Consulting
Dr. Johnson offers world-class advice,
drawing on 30 years of design experience, an
extensive network of industry contacts, and
a unique perspective made possible by his
interactions with over 1000 digital
engineers annually through his teaching
activities , newsletters and technical
correspondence.
If there's a new trend
available, he probably already knows about
it. If you want a revolutionary new system,
he's the kind of guy that can dream one up.

Strategic Partnerships
Many of Dr. Johnson’s consulting clients have been small,
start-up companies with great ideas who are looking for technical expertise and
validation. Dr. Johnson creates
relationships with these organizations to help them through the very critical
time of initial product development and feasibility. While he does not design products himself, in
a strategic partnership arrangement, Dr. Johnson consults regularly with the
engineering staff of the company. He can
also provide technical information and opinions to outside investors. Pricing and equity arrangements are available
upon request.
Mentoring
The most
effective way to absorb Dr. Johnson's
consulting advice is to identify one very
bright, ambitious engineer, and have this person
visit our site for a consultation session at
least once, and perhaps later on a periodic
basis (every 6 months). Dr. Johnson will
then answer questions by phone or email,
providing direction and guidance as needed.
Each time we set up a private seminar at
your site, Dr. Johnson will pay a special
visit for personal discussion. That is the
traditional way engineers pass on their
knowledge to a younger generation--one on
one. It works. That's how he learned the art
of high-speed engineering from his mentor,
Dr. Martin Graham.
Why I teach
Roger Bacon wrote in the preface to his
famous book, "Maxims of Common Law" (1630),
that every profession carries with it both
privileges and duties.
I think he's got that
just right. I enjoy the privilege of having
designed products that improve the lives of
hundreds of millions of people, and the duty
of helping others achieve the same success.
I'll do all I can to make that possible for
you.
