Company provides expertise in the wireless telecommunication arena while educating clients on best practices to achieve extraordinary results in daily business operations predicated by previous RF design/performance/optimization work experience

A telecommunications firm known for providing communication system was brought on to assist in the strategic launching, maintenance and optimization of two-way radio and cellular system throughout the Florida regionResponsible for managing cost of site design deployments also involving in-building networks by implementing review process on key milestones that eliminated a quarter of million dollars worth of expensesAvoided deployment of $2.6 million dollars worth of additional radio resources with the utilization of key system software related parameters that reflected in an increased savings of 50% in time and materials. Software parameter adjustments allowed for capacity needs to be met in a day versus three weeks.Created and expressly shared several knowledge based articles to aid in the prevention of time loss and repeated mistakes encountered in field causing company to save time and money; troubleshooting activity reduced from a couple of days to minutes.

Performed business case studies that evaluated capacity needs of an expanding network by weighing physical limitations, forecasted growth and cost per subscriber to existing network against proposed new site build. Business case studies revealed plausible alternatives such as slight modifications to existing network saved an average of 72% per site versus spending $500,000 to $1 million attached to a brand new site build. Formed a special task force group of four individuals to determine how best to resolve customer’s drop call issues within a 48 hour period. A baseline operation drive proved to be highly effective by recreating problematic symptom and thus lead to immediate correction of hardware failure within brevity of 48 hour time frame saving a $15 million dollar account from not churning.

Consulting firm that was known for diverse engineering services brought me on to assist in continued development, teaching and training both to domestic and international client baseInstructed FCC & FAA filings, RF theory and propagation along with other knowledge-based courses for domestic engineering services. Informed clients on key concepts and provided best practices/standards to build out network without sacrificing quality while adhering to guidelines when faced with FAA/FCC interference issues.Performed spectrum clearing and mitigated interference issues involving multiple incumbent sources as well as coordinate, collect and post processed RF data from multiple carriers for baseline drives. This served as a close-out documentation to scope of work issued per contractual agreements.
