Telecommunication networking services is the backbone in my telecom career.

 

AT&T and BellSouth afforded me the opportunity to gain the wide variety of certified training, skills, knowledge and experience that I have today in digital telecom services. My expertise is in the installation, maintenance & upgrading of digital loop carrier (DLC) and Fiber to the Loop (FITL) systems in the mainstream of broadband services today. My skills encompass the physical installation of telephone central office plant & equipment as a Switch Equipment Installation Tech. (aka COEI). The placement, maintenance and troubleshooting of copper, fiber & coaxial facilities as a cable splicer & cable repair tech. And as a Digital Technician, both in DLC & in Special Circuits & Services my skills covered the installation & maintenance of equipment and end-user services. My other speciality experience was in the field engineering, planning, installation, turn-up & maintenance of telemetry alarm and control systems to monitor central office, customer premise & field remote environmental & equipment alarms to a Network Operations Center (NOC).
