Abstract
Harry Stewart Wragge (23 November 1929–31 July 2023), Director of the Telecom (later Telstra) Research Laboratories (TRL) in Melbourne from 1985 to 1992, was a leading Australian research engineer. He catalysed the evolution of the public switched telephone network in Australia from its analogue, electromechanical form in the 1950s and 1960s to the digital, computer-controlled circuit-switched network of the 1980s and 1990s. His own research work was famous for his IST (integrated switching and transmission) project, building the first computer-controlled, integrated digital switch in the world to handle commercial telephone traffic (from 1974 to 1978). He also provided major support to telecommunications research at several Australian universities. His many contributions were recognized by honours from the Australian Government, Melbourne and Monash universities, the Pearcey Foundation, the Telecommunications Society of Australia and the City of Frankston.
Harry Stewart Wragge(1929年11月23日- 2023年7月31日)，1985年至1992年担任墨尔本电信(后来的Telstra)研究实验室(TRL)主任，是澳大利亚领先的研究工程师。他促进了澳大利亚公共交换电话网的发展，从20世纪50年代和60年代的模拟、机电形式发展到20世纪80年代和90年代的数字、计算机控制的电路交换网络。他自己的研究工作因其IST(综合交换和传输)项目而闻名，该项目建立了世界上第一个计算机控制的综合数字交换机，用于处理商业电话流量(1974年至1978年)。他还为澳大利亚几所大学的电信研究提供了主要支持。他的许多贡献得到了澳大利亚政府、墨尔本大学和莫纳什大学、皮尔斯基金会、澳大利亚电信协会和弗兰克斯顿市的荣誉认可。
