Joining Vantage Point Solutions in 2004, I have been involved with the implementation of many aspects of telecommunication networks including wireless, FITL, FTTH, standby power, and Central Office grounding. I am VPS' principal RF Engineer and have been responsible for the RF design and evaluations for wireless networks across the suite of current technology standards. I have been the VPS Project Manager overseeing the implementation of unlicensed and licensed wireless networks, including CDMA and LTE networks, being an integral part of the network acceptance testing processes to ensure compliance with the VPS performance-based Plans and Specifications. I have prepared and filed on the clients’ behalf, CGSA expansions, interim construction obligations, grandfathered status filings, and license renewals with the FCC. I have been the VPS Project Manager overseeing the implementation of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) network enhancement. In addition to my wireless activities, I have also been responsible for conducting Central Office power and grounding audits, performing ground field measurements, performing soil resistivity measurements, and designing Central Office ground fields based upon these soil resistivity measurements.
