About Zetalink Technology

Home > About Us

Zetalink Technology is primarily an electronic engineering design services firm with extensive experience in signalling, communications and embedded microcomputer applications. Our technical staff, some of whom have degrees from colleges in the United States, is ready and experienced to handle a variety of tasks in the field of new product design using microcomputer technology, which is now finding application in nearly every imaginable kind of product. Our clients have included leading manufacturers of hospital signalling equipment as well as an oceanographic instrumentation firm.

Zetalink also manufactures special vertical-market products. These products encompass test equipment, specialized clocks and electronic art devices. Custom designs along these lines are our specialty.

Zetalink Technology was incorporated as a registered foreign-investment company in Indonesia in 1999, though we operated as a smaller private consulting service in Indonesia since 1990.

Founder & Principal Owner. Zetalink's principal, Raymond Weisling, has worked in the electronics industry (Wisconsin and California) since about 1970. He held Amateur Radio licenses as early as 1962, and experimented with microwaves and amateur television while still in high school (1963-65). While in high school he earned a First Class Radiotelephone License from the FCC. He studied at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and California Institute of the Arts. Besides extensive experience in electronics, he is also a composer and artist, having studied with composers Barney Childs, Morton Subotnick and James Tenney, as well as kinetic sculpture with Stephan von Huene.

Award. In August 2003 Raymond Weisling won First Prize in the Asia Region for his entry in a contest jointly sponsored by Motorola and Circuit Cellar magazine. The award is one of three First Place awards for the region and one of nine worldwide. The contest entry is entitled "Acoustical Cellular Automata Array Processor" and describes the use of the Motorola "Nitron" microcomputer (MC68HC908QY1) as an element in an array of up to hundreds of these processors, to generate musical pitches and process neighboring cell data in a musical-acoustical cellular automata array. If 100 microcomputers are in the array, the total number of speakers generating musical pitches would be 400. The sounds are not loud---indeed they are intentionally made very quiet so that one has to get quite close to hear the spatial activity that the cellular automata rule produces. Different rules can be uploaded to the array to produce many different results. The use of this very low-cost microcomputer in an array where data is shared between adjacent cells illustrates the potential for such devices being used in spatially separated neural network processors, for example. It is believed that acoustical cellular automata has never been done before. Read more about this.
