Tom McGean- Gateway proposal. The lack of interest on the part of Adtranz and Siemens was seen as a fatal flaw. The organizing meeting at Piscataway was then canceled, but NJT expressed interest in the project. Jim Kemp then explained as follows. NJT wants to have a standard implementation of the new technology going in on their new equipment.
Future procurements are also a concern.
NJT has an approved capital program, with funding, to develop this standard gateway. NJT could therefore support WG9 and the gateway implementation. Jim Kemp also asked what the significance of clean room was. NJT understands that this means the solution would not be proprietary. Tom McGean agreed, basically.
