Huawei FDED Project Report: GSM E7 PO2 Expansion Engineering

This document details a project undertaken at Huawei, Saudi Arabia, focusing on the Final Detailed Engineering Design (FDED) for a GSM E7 PO2 expansion project. The project involved the installation and operation of 3G (UMTS) Mobile Switching Centres (MSC) and Media gateways for Saudi Telecom Company (STC) in Jeddah, Makkah, and Riyadh. As a Core Network Implementation Engineer, the author proposed a turnkey GSM E7 PO2 expansion project, including the integration of new VMSC and the expansion of existing TMSC. Key objectives included designing the MSC GSM3 network, considering implementation programs, Bill of Quantity, and engineering design. The project also addressed hardware and software architectures of MSOFTX3000, while considering dimensioning parameters for prepaid and SMS subscribers. The author's responsibilities encompassed applying telecommunications engineering knowledge, signaling, network skills, circuit designing, and attenuation techniques, while also providing leadership and problem-solving within the team to ensure successful project completion.

CE 1.1 Project Information
Name of the project: Final Detailed Engineering Design (FDED)
Location of the project: Huawei, Saudi Arabia
Project Duration: March of 2005 to July of 2005 (6 months)
Organization: Huawei, Saudi Arabia
Role and Designation during the time: Core Network Implementation Engineer
CE 1.2 Project Background
CE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the project
Telecommunication refers to the proper transmission of sounds, messages, signals and
signs or even information by any type of system like electromagnetic, optical, radio and
wires. A proper exchange of information between communication participation is possible
with telecommunication. While working in Huawei, I got an opportunity to complete a
project, called Final Detailed Engineering Design. Huawei is a Chinese company providing
solutions across four key domain, Telecom networks, IT, smart devices and cloud services.
More than 180,000 employees are working in 170 countries in several branches around the
world. STC or Saudi Telecom Company has awarded Huawei for its installation and
operation 3G (UMTS) MSC (Mobile Switching Centres) and Media gateways in Jeddah,
Makkah and Riyadh. In this project, I have considered every existing requirement and I also
proposed a turnkey GSM E7 PO2 expansion project that involved VMSC and the expansion
of 8 YMSC. Therefore, within this project document of FDED, I have successfully and
efficiently defined the work, which was done in the entire installation process of GSM3.

CE 1.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
While executing this project of FDED, I have proposed a turnkey GSM E7 PO2
expansion project for providing major advantages to the telecommunication world. Hence,
for completing this project in Huawei with high efficiency and accuracy, I have developed
few objectives:
 To efficiently propose a turnkey GSM E7 PO2 expansion project after involving 4
new VMSC and expansion of 8 TMSC.
 To complete the project work with the subsequent integration to the present core
network system of Saudi Telecom Company.
 To propose a design of the MSC GSM3 network for completion of E7 project for
engineering designing, dimensioning and configuration of GSM3.
 To consider the work in the completed in installation process of GSM3 after taking
into account the implementation program, Bill of Quantity and Engineering and
Designing.
 To consider the dimensioning basic parameters of 60% value of prepaid subscriber
and 40% value of SMS subscriber.
 To complete the hardware and software architectures of MSOFTX3000.
CE 1.2.3 My area of work
As, while completing these works in the project, I comprised of subsequent
experiences in the field works about telecommunication project, I was recruited as the core
network implementation engineer. Previously, I have done works with various subsequent
areas such as installation designing, telecom network as well as signalling and hence it was
extremely easy for me for executing the specified project promptly and efficiently. I also had
significant leadership skills as well as problem solving skill, thus I was chosen by my
respective supervisor for completing this work eventually.

1.3.4.2 Solutions
I have the ability
CE 1.3.5 Plan to produce creative and innovative work
I had to make a plan for my team and team members so that innovative work is being
executed in the project. This type of planning was quite helpful for us to complete the project.
Moreover, errors was also being identified in this process.
CE 1.4 Project Review
CE 1.4.1 Project Overview
This complete project was executed only after consideration of few important and the
subsequent characteristics of FDED. I had successfully developed this particular
communication with proper features. Since I comprised of team leadership skills, I have
provided guidance to my respective team members. Moreover, I even articulated a proper
frame work over the basis of various types of works for achievement of the previously
determined goals.
