Islamabad, Pakistan

August 2007 - December 2012

PROJECTS ACCOMPLISHED
• SDH Metro/DWDM Network:
All metro networks in central region are also optimized. Previously there was no concept of protection scheme between different SDHs on same physical location. I proposed 1+1 protection of all SDH entities that were mutually connected without protection in previous scenario. Now after optimization all SDH entities are connected in 1+1 MSP scheme. Second Major involvement was the designing and implementation of OFJAN/DWDM project in Central Region. Designing of multiple MSP Rings and 1+1 Linear Topology Networks and configuration of SDH Network were the important tasks involved in that project. I was engaged in management of more than 50 NEs on T2000 NMS ((TM) Huawei, China) . I gained expertise on OPTIX 10G, OPTIX 2.5G, OSN1500, OSN2500, OSN3500 and OSN 9500 series of Huawei Technologies.

• Central TXN Connectivity Database:
Compiled and created a central transmission connectivity database by collecting information from different stakeholders, along with a portal for ease of access to all departments.

• Installation and Execution of U2000 (Huawei-NMS)
Single handedly executed/coordinated for the installation, execution, delta removal and smooth working of a new server and U2000 for Huawei optical Nodes. This includes the addition/dilution of OSN550 Optical nodes for data traffic. I acted as the only point of contact between Vendor and PMCL (Multiple Teams) for the complete project.
