Circuit Design
Designed optical and electrical Infrastructure Transmission System/Networks for all Voice, Internet, Data and Video transmission Designs.
Performed notification of equipment/network bandwidth availability to Planning/Engineering team members in avoidance of future network bandwidth limitations of services.
Validated E911 circuit path diversity requirements were met.
Confirmed company policy on transport paths were adhered to and issued a network MOP to correct any inefficiency in transmission path.
Followed capacity and traffic methods to resolve bandwidth designs issues network wide.
Performed projects for network DM (Manufacture Discontinued) equipment change out; required moving all services to new equipment.
I have used the Granite, Network Pro Applications
TW Telecom (acquired by Level 3 Communications, Inc. in 2014)
