Worked as an intern at Maxis, a mobile telecommunications operator in Malaysia. Maxis was in the process of installing GPRS into their network. My work included producing handover documentation and work orders, collecting and organizing information for forecasting network capacity and GPRS network testing. While working there I was exposed to TEMS, which is a network cell-planning tool, and AutoCAD. I learned about GSM and GPRS. I was given some responsibilities and also learned to work with others when I had to go out to the field on my own and work with engineers from other companies.
