Description

Support the Radio Frequency (RF) team in designing and optimizing a network with focus on RF coverage and quality

Roles and Responsibilities
  • Create Radio Frequency (RF) Propagation, LTE/UMTS RF propagation studies and simulations.
  • Support the new site build process by providing RF feedback wherever necessary. This includes: Creation of Technical approval packages (supported by Design and Optimization KPI), supporting the need of sites to the national team; Search ring target explanation to site acquisition contractors; Candidate assessment against coverage goals and company design KPI; Site visit and understanding of RF Quality impact of construction constraints; Construction drawings verification regarding aspects influencing RF performance (RAD center, shadowing, antenna choices and isolation, TMA/RRH, etc.); Reporting progress issue to other engineers and present issues to management; Supporting data management and process improvement including RF Data Sheet related information flow and systems; Also, the contractor needs to be fluent at interfacing with Optimization in coordinated performance improvement efforts requiring both Design and Optimization techniques; Construction drawings verification regarding aspects influencing RF performance; Be point of contact for questions about merging site configuration constraints
