Now is the time of year when you start thinking about warmer weather and sunnier days. I like to welcome the season by leaving the windows open, hanging out on the back patio with my dogs and shopping for new Spring clothes!
Spring is also a time of renewal and a great opportunity to clear out the junk and freshen things up. Many of us will commence Spring Cleaning of some kind; powerwashing the front of the house, dusting off the patio furniture, donating unwanted items or setting up the grill for barbecue season.

Way back in June, I posted a blog about how I did some troubleshooting in my house to find the cause of my hairdryer and air conditioner cutting out on me and it raised an interesting topic. In what situations is it a good idea to fix something yourself instead of calling a professional?

Innovation is the key to survival and for centuries it has led to improvements in all aspects of our lives from achitecture to medicine and everything in between. In today’s high tech society, innovation moves at the speed of light and sparks competition among the most creative of individuals. Bill Gates was quoted as saying “Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time”.
The attached video, produced by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in celebration of their 50th anniversary, documents the vast difference between past and present automobile safety standards by engaging a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu in a violent experimental car crash.

The organizational committee for the 2014 Winter Olympics, which will be held in Sochi, Russia, announced in late November that Avaya will be providing the network equipment for the “common telecommunications infrastructure” that will link athletes, officials, visitors and fans from around the globe to this monumental worldwide sporting event.
In addition to equipment, Avaya will also send engineers to design and test the system after
implementation. You can see the entire article here.

My Mom and I have a disagreement when it comes to football. Neither of us watches much of the sport, but I have been a Ravens fan since I moved to Baltimore and she thinks my allegiance should be with the Pittsburgh Steelers, since I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. While I see her point, Baltimore is my city of residence now and I feel committed to cheer on my (new) home team. Even when their performance is less than, uh, stellar (I’m not specifically referring to last night’s game but…ouch).
I’m by no means a superfan, I don’t even watch every game, but I wear purple on Fridays, own a Ravens t-shirt and sweatshirt and I had a Ravens magnet on my truck until some lowlife snatched it. Team spirit is a wonderful thing and I love being part of it. It’s fun to walk down the hallway of our building to see other fans in their Ravens jerseys and rocking the purple.

Welcome to Girl on Wire’s 25th blog! I’m often asked how I got into the telecommunications industry. My answer? It’s been a long and windy road 
The photo here is actually me at the oh-so-young age of 16. I was on a family trip and we stopped by Universal Studios in California to take their tour. They had props set up from the movie “The incredible Shrinking Woman” and my parents thought it would be hilarious to take photos of me and my siblings posing with these larger-than-life everyday items. I was told to climb onto the giant phone.

One of the goals of this blog is to educate you, the reader, regardless if you are a customer or not. If you do have a chance to work with Teltek, you will likely hear many technical terms that can leave you scratching your head. About a year and a half ago, then new employee and current Girl On Wire, Carrie Green wrote a blog titled “Tech Talk for Dummies” which was a glossary of telecommunication terms. This proved to be useful to her, being brand new to the industry, while being a great reference tool for you, the reader. Listed below are more terms (and their definitions) which you may encounter when working with one of Teltek’s team members. Keep in mind; we aim to explain everything in layman’s terms so that by the end of it all, you are left with more knowledge and a smile on your face.
