He also coordinated equipment installation and facilities tests. Mr. Creswell was solely responsible for the design and procurement of SMUD’s CDMA 2000 based Mobile Data System (MDS). SMUDs 200 unit mobile data fleet consists of hardened mobile data terminals, CDMA/1XRTT data radios, leased high capacity data service, and applications software. He was responsible for the preliminary upgrade design of SMUD’s Upper American River (UARP) 200 mile, five site microwave loop. His design advanced the existing DS-3 terminals and radios to a new STS-3 (155 MB/s) based digital microwave system. Mr. Creswell was also responsible for the design and specification for the upgrade of SMUD’s two-way radio system dispatch console system (Motorola Centracom to Centracom Gold Elite) upgrade in their Power Services Operations (PSO) and Distribution Services (DSO) control centers.

Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) Transmission Line Protection Upgrade Project, Sacramento, California (Project Manager) - Mr. Creswell served as project manager, performed engineering and design, and provided field and technical support. The work involved the design and implementation of communications links between transmission line protection relays. The new relays at each end consisted of Alstom P543 and Schweitzer SEL-311L relay units. The Alstom P543 relays communicated with each other via direct fiber optic connection. The SEL-311L relays communicated via direct fiber optic connection and thru the RFL IMUX multiplexer serial connection (RS-422). Substation and generation facility transmission line protection devices were also networked using Dynastar 2000 terminal servers and Ethernet Bridge media converters. (01/04-12/04)

Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) Communications Backbone Project, Sacramento, California (Senior Telecommunications Engineer) - Mr. Creswell participated in the facilities design of a forty node multiple Unidirectional Path Switched Ring/Mesh OC-48 SONET based network. The network incorporates interfaces for both TDM (DS1 and DS3) and packet services (802.17 Resilient Packet Ring). The network covers all of SMUD’s major substation facilities throughout Sacramento County up to and through the Upper American River Project’s power generation facilities (UARP). Design activities included the development of site design for timing, signal, power, and grounding distribution as well as equipment mounting and raceway details. (12/04-06/05)

Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) Backup Control Center (BCC) Project, Sacramento, California (Project Manager) - Mr. Creswell served as project manager, performed engineering and design, and provided subject matter expertise for backup communications backbone design alternatives. He met with SMUD’s BCC Team to develop an initial needs analysis and solicited SMUD staff to provide additional input regarding desired system capabilities. He subsequently led the development of conceptual alternatives and a preliminary design. The design included the delivery of TDM and RPR packet services to a backup control center facility via a SONET OC-48 network. (06/06-06/07)
