Field Engineer
Las Vegas, Nevada Area
In the last 5 years I have gained extensive experience designing, installing, maintaining, and trouble-shooting Cisco 802.11 a/b/g/n autonomous and controller-based wireless networks as outlined below: Conducted Wi-Fi surveys and gather relevant network requirements; then design networks, configure, install and trouble shoot wired and wireless network equipment for various commercial structures as a subcontractor for AT&T, primarily at 165 different Hilton hotels, including Hampton Inns, Homewood Suites, Garden Inns, Embassy Suites, Double Tree, Hilton and Waldorf Astoria. These hotels vary from simple rectangular buildings for 100 people to large multi-site resort complexes to vast Convention Center facilities. The networks are primarily autonomous-based systems using Cisco 1100 and 1200 series access points and 2960, 3560 and 3750 series switches. Where needed Paradyne or Motorola TUT DSLAMs for DSL systems were substituted for Cisco APs. The larger Convention Center deployments use Cisco WLC-based light weight 1140 and 1260 APs with Pico-cell antenna techniques to maximize the number of APs in vary people-dense spaces. Surveyed, designed and installed controller-based wireless networks for 11 Kmart/Sears stores and their clothing design center in Manhattan. Selected 3G Cellular Wi-Fi offload locations for AT&T. Starting at Paris Hotel, on the Strip in Las Vegas, then 7 Wi-Fi offload sites in Charlotte, NC and many sites in San Francisco and Santa Monica, CA. As a member of a team, we select actual locations for the city-wide Wi-Fi sites and design the wireless network. These services include RF spectrum analysis for back ground noise levels and for co-channel interference. Equipment is Bel Air APs and Cisco switches. Lead engineer of the team which designed and installed the entire network for the new Smith Center in Las Vegas. The high-availability network uses (2) 5508 WLCs, a 6509 with redundant supervisors, (2) ASA-5510s, all in the core level.
