The RTT Team
Geoff
Varrall joined RTT in 1985 as an executive director and
shareholder to develop RTT's international business as a provider
of technology and business services to the wireless industry.
He co-developed RTT's original series of design and facilitation workshops including 'RF Technology', 'Data Over Radio', 'Introduction to Mobile Radio', and 'Private Mobile Radio Systems and developed 'The Oxford programme', a five day strategic technology and market programme presented annually with the Shosteck Group. Over the past twenty years, several thousand senior level delegates have attended these programmes.

Geoff has just completed his fourth book, Making Telecoms Work – from technical innovation to commercial success (John Wiley) to be published in early 2012. He also writes regularly for a number of European trade journals and chairs a broad cross section of industry conference and trade events.
As a Director of Cambridge Wireless, Geoff is actively involved in a number of wireless heritage initiatives that aim to capture and record past technology and engineering experience.
