RF Engineer (RFSE2)
As a contractor for Ericsson, designed new LTE RAN for AT&T in Boston Area Market (New Haven, Yale) (700 MHz) using Atoll and ACP. All KPIs were reached and the design solutions accepted with no restriction for 150 sites.
Vivo S.A. (Telefonica), Belo Horizonte - Brazil 2004 - 2011
Consultant of Network Engineering
Designed and optimized UMTS RAN (Ericsson) and GSM BSS (Huawei) in Minas Gerais State Market, Brazil. Developed GSM BSS and UMTS RFPs (Request for Proposal).
As team leader, successfully designed, launched and optimized UMTS RAN (350 sites) in 2100 MHz Band, and conducted the first UMTS RAN trail in South America - Belo Horizonte (2007) (34 sites in 850 MHz). The design tool was Planet EV. Developed performance analysis procedures to be followed by Ericsson and applied optimization meetings Ericsson team to achieve goal KPIs and to identify new sites needed for coverage and or capacity.
As team leader, compiled the RFP for GSM BSS, and coordinated the design, launch and optimization team in Triângulo Mineiro submarket, Minas Gerais State, Brazil (200 sites). The design project was done on Planet EV. This project was evaluated as the Best in Class KPIs in all state submarkets (Minas Gerais - population 18 mi).
-Design and optimization using TEMS Pocket, CW tests, of 3 new DAS solutions (Repeater/passive DAS and small cell/passive DAS) for malls in Uberaba and Uberlândia, Brazil.
-Design and optimization of the frequency plan for GSM 1800 Band using Planet.
-Technical Final Acceptance for BSS.
Compiled the GSM BSS RFP for Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Completed before the deadline and with a PM (Project Management) attached RFP, it was recognized by the stakeholders as well by the bidders, as an outstanding project according to schedules and technical requirements.
Received the Huawei Partners Awards, due to the technical performance and partnership that created the first successful Huawei GSM network in South America. Shanghai, China, 2006.
