Robert G. Mechaley, Jr.
Founder & Chairman

Rob Mechaley, founder of RadioFrame Networks, has been a leader in the convergence of voice and
data on wireless networks for over a dozen years.

Mechaley began his wireless career at McCaw Cellular Communications/ AT&T Wireless Services, where
he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist, helping McCaw transition into its new role as
AT&T Wireless. Mechaley worked on revolutionary projects that have become the cornerstones of today's
wireless technology. He co-invented Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), led the team that built the
nation's first seamless wireless network—the North American Cellular Network (NACN)—and developed
the technology behind AT&T's Wireless Local Loop Product, otherwise known as Project Angel. He was
also a key member of the standards committee that developed the IS-41 protocol for wireless
communications network interoperability.

Immediately prior to founding RadioFrame Networks, Mechaley was president and CEO of Wildfire
Communications, Inc., a developer of voice-activated personal assistant technology, which is now a
subsidiary of Orange.
