Introduction
This page contains a brochure outlining DTELS engineering consultancy services, which I think was produced in 1991. Although perhaps lacking in flair compared to publicity material published by other telecommunications companies at that time, the brochure briefly sets out the broad range of services that DTELS Consultancy offered.
I believe the origins of Engineering Consultancy came about following the decision in the 1980's that the Directorate was to become a trading company. Engineering staff associated with 'core' services, such as Frequency Management, were transferred to another Home Office department called Radio Frequency and Communications Planning Unit (RFCPU) prior to the formation of DTELS in 1991. The remaining staff associated with 'non-core' services came under the umbrella of DTELS Engineering Consultancy.
Prior to the split of 'core' and 'non-core' services, the centralised engineering comprised two distinct functions, Mobile Radio and Static Systems. Each function was divided down into appropriate services, and as can be seen from the 1982 Organisation Chart, respectively comprised MR1-MR5 and SS1-SS4 groups.
Working in conjunction with other supporting groups and Field Service specialists, the engineering side of the Directorate developed wide ranging expertise and skills during the 1970's and 1980's covering many facets of telecommunication services, which I believe was unrivalled by any other single company of similar size. I also believe it was generally well respected in the industry.
