Site Engineering @ Nextel was initiated by regional engineers who developed a coverage map based on theoretical candidates. This was then forwarded to the real estate department that would then provide realistic possibilities evaluate using computer applications or if necessary drive test. After site selection our section would then provide connection to the switch, link budgets, and test integration to the system.• Originally hired as System Performance Engineer. • This responsibility included integrating new sites into the system. • Developed possible candidate list for new sites. • Used computer modeling to project coverage of new sites. Drive testing sites to insure candidate would cover required area. • As drive test supervisor I generated weekly coverage survey maps showing strength and quality of signal, area of concern to include drop calls, busy signals and poor audio quality.• Engineering computer applications included Delorme, MapInfo, CMA, Camaze, and Allsites.• Established microwave hops when T1’s were not available on a timely basis.• Established link budgets for new sites to insure the downlink was no more than 3db hot.
