Responsibilities include: I was doing shakedowns as well as cluster drives using TEMS 14.6 and 15.6.4, Iperf/
Putty & Streets and Trips software. I worked closely with Customers to make sure the site I was testing was
optimized to its acceptable potential. If any problems arose I would contact Ericsson NDS and we would
determine what the problem was and try to correct it if possible. Some times they would request me for oddball
jobs such as redoing a part of a cluster that failed to meet minimum passing as well as redoing a part of a
shake down that did not pass. After Iowa market went on hiatus I was asked to go to Maine market and help
with fill in sites. I did basically the same thing as in Iowa only we had a really short time span to test so an
average day would be to do a shakedown on band 5 & 12 then an SSV (small cluster around towers) drive on
both bands 5 & 12. I also did in building pre and post WiFi testing using Air Magnent software.
Skills: TEMS, streets and trips, Putty / Iperf, Hyper Terminal, Air Magnent.
