Hatch Graham

Mr. Graham joined the board of Actelis Networks, Inc. in 2005. Hatch is the co-founder and Managing Director of ATA Ventures, a venture capital firm in the Silicon Valley area of California. In addition, Hatch has co-founded several innovative telecommunications companies in wireless, optical, and wireline telecommunications, such as Wave7 Optics in Atlanta, a leader in the fiber-to-the-home systems industry and California-based Resonext (acquired by RF Micro Devices), a successful pioneer in the wireless 802.11 "wi fi" chipset sector. Prior to his activities with privately owned companies, Hatch held executive officer positions within industry leading public companies, including World Access, TCSI Corporation, and Stanford Telecom. As a technologist, Hatch's architectures have led to key patents in direct digital synthesis, programmable logic device, digital filtering, forward error correction, spread spectrum wireless, cable TV, and cellular telephone applications. For his invention in digital modulation for cable TV, he was granted the coveted "reverse path" patent which enabled cost effective bidirectional communication over CATV -- a primary enabler for the cable modem industry. Hatch was also granted an error correction patent that contributed to the introduction of Direct Broadcast Satellite television. Hatch has been a recipient of Idaho State University's Professional Achievement Award, where he graduated in 1982 with a B.S. Engineering degree.
