Consultant/Contractor

OSI / Cs-net

Aug 2012 – Nov 2014

Independent Consultant/ Contractor,

Assisting in the successful deployment of a Sub Sea Network for OSI Clients that will provide bandwidth to an underwater observatory already in service, As well as providing bandwidth to Off shore platforms In the near future as well as providing commercial services in the near future to other carriers in the region.

The purpose of this subsea network Deployment is to facilitate the Migration from the existing Buoy System

Presently providing Uplink and downlink Communication via V-Sat and Migrate it 300Km or so to 2 landing station off the coast of Cyprus Via a new dual conductor cable especially ordered through Tycom Subsea.

Research and Development

I was proactively involved with the building of a cable simulator along with 5 Node load simulator in a lab environment for future energizing using a dual feed 2100 VDC power supplies to be converted to active PFE's These test concluded that we could maintain proper powering requirements to the Sub Sea Network in several operational scenarios as well as in a linear state if there happens to be any shunt faults/cable cuts or similar impairments.

As project moved forward I provided EF&I guidance to the team and worked together with the team to establish a network simulator for the existing sub-sea wet-plant transmission/receiving equipment to be housed in a portable case for testing purposes of an end to end test that will involve 1550nm transmission using 1 Gig class A laser through a Tyco legacy DWDM OOF Erbium doped amplifier/ repeater system
