Wireless Infrastructure R&D Programme Management, Project Managing all domains (Radio HW, Baseband HW, SW, Mechanical, Test, Type Approval, Manufacturing, Procurement, Support) of product development through prototyping and into production. The outdoor radio base station for Vodafone required some new Electronic sub-assemblies, which had to be defined, designed and tested. The fully assembled cabinet underwent EMC compliance to RA and GSM specifications for emissions and susceptibility. The vibration testing for transport and roadside deployment was undertaken at military facilities.The fixed terminal for Radio in the Local Loop (RLL) system was heavily tested for radio performance in a field "laboratory" to debug call-set up and guard band issues. The Bill of Materials was approved and released to MRP for 1st tranche manufacture and was trialled in Poland and Philippines.The fixed RLL terminal was evolved into a dual mode GSM/Satcomms Fixed Satellite Terminal for Globalstar, and after resolving global support, procurement, testing proposals and manufacturing capacity, this programme was taken through product definition and feasibility study up to the award of order cover for design and build of a prototype tranche.
