 Michael
H. Brody
Chief
Technical Officer
Michael
H. Brody brings a vast wealth of knowledge to WideOpenWest,
where he holds the position of chief technical officer.
He has worked in the communications field for over 23
years and the electrical field for another five years.
For the past 21 years he worked for RCN and its predecessor
companies in many positions. He started with Commonwealth
Telephone Company as a transmission engineer, designing
digital networks between Commonwealth's central offices.
He later worked in the consulting division of the company
designing and managing the build of cable television systems.
In this position he designed the first cable system in
Panama City, Panama, and worked in cable operations in
New England and Puerto Rico. In the early 1980s Mike was
one of the four senior managers who built the CTEC Cable
operations in New York and New Jersey. These systems were
later purchased by RCN. He held various positions, operations
to senior vice president of engineering. In the 1980s,
Mike was responsible for the construction of HFC networks
in New York and New Jersey. During this period, he managed
the build out of over 4,000 miles of plant, six headend
sites, addressable cable systems and many fiber interconnects.
Mike Brody also participated in an acquisition program
that entailed the technical evaluation of systems ranging
from Alaska to Michigan. Over a period of seven years,
he assisted in the acquisition of systems in Michigan,
New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
In 1995, Mike moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, to create
an engineering and construction department to upgrade
the systems for Megacable, Mexico's largest cable operator,
of which RCN was part-owner. As technical director of
Megacable, he was responsible for the design, engineering,
and construction of these systems, which serviced such
states as Jalisco, Nayarit, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Veracruz.
After the completion of the project in Mexico, Mike became
senior vice president of engineering for RCN, a cable
over-builder. He was responsible for the installation
of headend and hub sites in Massachusetts, New York, Washington,
D.C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California. Under
his leadership, RCN constructed many 110-150 channel headend
and hub sites in the multi-state area. These headend sites
included digital compression technology, HFC telephony,
digital transport, and cable-modem termination systems.
He was also responsible for all outside plant construction
in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Mike holds two associate degrees from Penn State University,
one in electrical engineering, the other in telecommunications.
