Computing Services' Brad Noblet keeps good company. In a recent issue of
Network World (NW), he shares the stage with Cisco
president and CEO John Chambers, Hewlett-Packard's chair and CEO Carly Fiorina,
and Microsoft czar Bill Gates. All made NW's selective list of the "50
most powerful people in networking." The magazine ranked powerhouses by title
and responsibility, visibility, "the ways in which the person functions as a
role model for the network industry," and overall influence, or "clout."
Noblet, Dartmouth's director of computing technical services, weighs in at
number 44.
Noblet learned he was on the list during the Christmas holidays and says he
was "totally surprised" by the news. "In recent months, I had been quoted several
times in Network World magazine as well as other publications, but
I had no idea I was being selected for their top 50. It was quite an
honor."
NW singled out Noblet for the pioneering work he has done
instituting wireless networking on Dartmouth's campus. Most of his work has
concentrated on expanding and re-architecting the wireless, as well as the
wired network, to support convergence of other services, such as voice
(telephones) and video. Noblet notes the resulting network, which has garnered
considerable recognition for Dartmouth, has altered life on campus.
"Wireless has changed the way we live, work, and play at Dartmouth," he
says. "Enabling wireless on campus has shown the power that personal mobility
can bring to our lives."
