Shaw, who has held leadership positions at Peek Traffic and the management consulting firm Goldsmith Payne & Company, is a technology executive whose Vice President level positions at Tollgrade Comminications and Cheetah Technologies lead to the widespread use of centralized monitoring of data, video and voice networks in North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Multilink's newly established ITS Transportation Power division will focus on the needs of government agencies deploying Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) or Battery Backup Systems (BBS) at the intersection, and major transportation corridors and tributaries equipped with surveillance, communication, detection and messaging systems. "Our product lineup," explained Shaw, "is focused on the requirements of the most exacting clients in the transportation industry, such as those who require military grade UPS systems to provide emergency power to critical applications, sun-shielded ITS enclosures, and fiber optic management."
The ITS Transportation Power division," said Shaw, " is assembling a select group of solution integrators who are highly focused on providing emergency power and network communications to intersections, highway corridors, tolling stations and high security applications. We are very encouraged by the number and quality of market-leading integrators attracted to our new products and business philosophy."
