WORKING FOR AT&T 4G LTE : NORTH CALIFORNIA (2 Months)
.I was performing here different kind of Test like SSD at all sectors,IFHO Test, and IRAT Test.
An performing different kind of Test on HTC mobile like CS fall back Test and IRAT Test on
HTC
IRAT test was very much interesting where we used to see network turning from 4G to 3G and reading all layer 3 messages .
