PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS
o Initial system radio planning: morphology/geography and CW radio propagation studies, search ring
generation, site candidate analysis, base station location and configurations, antenna system testing and
specifications, link budget and prediction model tuning
o Network operation and optimization: system level configurations of radio resource, mobility management and
call management parameters, mobile data collection, call performance and statistical trending for grade of
service analysis
o Future planning and network growth: initiate and expand customer service areas, forecast usage and
subscriber growth, develop special applications (arenas, airports, subways, stadiums, etc)
