George is a pioneer in the Canadian communications industry. After joining Northern Electric R&D labs (later BNR, later Nortel) in 1964, George led a large development team in charge of the hardware design of the DMS family of switching systems (the equipment exceeded the goal of less than 2 hours downtime over 40 years). Later he started the wireless division of TRLabs to develop emerging wireless technologies in the 1990s. He taught fault tolerant design at the University of Waterloo.
