Profile
Our firm specializes in designing and integrating information transport and display technologies into building programs. Our experience and expertise range across many current and evolving technologies.

Brad Baxter has 29 years of information design experience. From a family of engineers and engineering educators, he majored in physics at Oklahoma State University. At City Service he was an oil and gas exploration geophysicist conducting seismic field surveys, field telemetry, and digital signal processing. With Conoco, he was a process control engineer designing and selecting refinery, chemical plant, and mine telemetry systems and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA). Later he developed Amerada Hess's Tulsa and London data centers - facilities, systems, networks - in support of their re-emerging oil and gas exploration efforts. In 1988, he founded BAXSYS, Inc.. He is a Registered Communications Distribution designer (RCDD), one of only 26 in the world with the total complement of specialty credentials: Network Transport Systems (NTS), Outside Cable Plant (OSP), and Wireless Distribution (WD).

The firm has completed over 100 projects in 18 years. The areas and technologies have been as diverse as the projects themselves - enterprise document imaging, cataloging and retrieval; premise voice/data/video and security cabling, networks and systems; telco wireless site income studies; private microwave metropolitan area networks (MANs); telco fiber route studies for location of datacenters; audits of installation compliance with life safety codes and standards; business class audio/video systems; datacenters and datacenter relocations.

BAXSYS, Inc. is dedicated to the selection of cost-effective, reliable and maintainable technologies that address your needs. Our broad knowledge of technology trends helps us position you for the future. Our independence ensures that technology selection is always in your best interests. Our designs are comprehensive, elegant, clear and precise communications of the technologies to be deployed. image

Credentials
Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD)

A Designation for those with demonstrated design expertise.

RCDD is a designation for individuals who demonstrate expertise in the design, integration, and implementation of information (voice, data, video, audio, and other low-voltage control) transport systems and their related infrastructure components.

An RCDD is responsible for the detailed design of new systems and/or the integration of a design into an existing system. These systems can include combinations of voice, data, video, audio, and low-voltage control. The formats can be digital and/or analog transmissions, as well as conversations of all formats into digital. The designs can include the use of telecommunications copper cabling (i.e., coaxial, twisted-pair, etc.), optical fiber cabling, and wireless (radio or optical). This designation is intended for those professionals who are actively involved in network infrastructure design and are working directly with architects, engineers, network managers, or other designers/Information Systems (IS) professionals. Although it is not precluded, the RCDD designation is not generally intended for those individuals working in direct sales, procurement, telephone support (i.e., "help desk"), or with responsibility for only the installation of the project materials.
