Radio Network Optimization
Radio Network Optimization is a suite of applications for GSM and CDMA networks. This Application suite is responsible for implementing self-configuring, self-optimizing, and self-healing functions for running a modern mobile network with Multiple Standards and an expanding ecosystem of equipment that needs the automation of as much network planning, design, build, and optimization as possible.
Highlights:
· Developed a tool that automates the configuration control checks on a file server for the whole account which reduced the time spent in quality reviews from 3 days to a couple of hours/project team.
· Improved application efficiency by converting the data fixes done by the team into code fixes and thereby increasing the uptime of the application by 25%
