Graham Maile has over 25 years experience in the telecommunications industry, much of which has been associated with the development and introduction of new digital communications systems.

In recent years, Graham has specialised in the application of his technical knowledge to the strategic development of telecommunications organisations, including manufacturers, network operators, investors and regulators. He has helped a number of Plextek’s clients prepare for entry into the 3G/UMTS market, participating in their technology development, licence bidding and business strategy.
