Week 6(Transmission)

Day 25(Monday, 10 May)

As usual on Monday morning, tazkirah and morning talk...then I continued my job to key in data for MSR...

Day 26(Tuesday, 11 May)

today was my first time in transmission to go out from office...En Syed asked me to follow him to do LOS(Line of Sight) survey for new site at UIA and Indera Mahkota 1...MSR for both sites were already submitted to HQ...both sites need to be surveyed again because they were not sure whether the transmission link path between the new site and LOS site were not blocked...according to MSR both sites are 24 meter lamp pole...

UIA site

picture above I captured on skylift @ 24 meter...we can see Wisma Celcom tower but according to MSR the LOS is to Atabara tower(somewhere behind the hill)...since Atabara tower is blocked so we need to change the MSR...

Indera Mahkota 1 site

this picture also taken on skylift @ 24 meter...according to MSR, LOS is to Wisma Celcom...so this site has no problem...


In the afternoon, I continue on my assignment to key in data for MSR and before went home I stopped by En Syed table because I saw him using Path Loss software...so I asked him about the software...the software is use to calculate the path distance and azimuth between 2 sites...also the software is use to produce path data as to attach with MSR..we also can view the obstacle between both sites graphically...the height of the obstacle and tower are estimation but for a very long path distance or hilly area we need to use topomap to be precise...

Day 27(Wednesday, 12 May)

In the morning there were meeting with Huawei...the meeting was about the link that need to be ready for May target on air sites...other agenda was about status on new link upgrading...after the meeting I continued with MSR...

Day 28(Thursday, 13 May)

As I was heard in the NPID meeting before, this month(May) projects will be delayed even though the KPI to achieve is 32 sites...this is cause by no equipments delivered plus other region(Sarawak, Sabah and Eastern) need to wait for equipments from central(swapped - new equipments for central, used equipment for other region)...so as long as no new equipments delivered at central region, other region cannot proceed with installation...in other word, I just have to key in data for MSR for the whole day...

Day 29(Friday, 14 May) 

As I said before no outdoor work can be done, so I just have to key in data for MSR and today finally I managed to finished the MSR of all 130 sites...

Week 5(Transmission)

Day 21(Monday, 3 May)

As usual today there were morning talk and tazkirah...after that, meeting for plan on air 3G for May 2010...before the meeting started I went to see En. Zaidi Razab but he was busy so  he said to see him later...back to the meeting, as to achieve the KPI, they planned 32 sites to be on air and all sites were in Terengganu and Indoor BTS since for outdoor BTS, CME need to provide new rectifier but there were no stock for rectifier...after the meeting I went to see En. Zaidi Razab but again he said to see him later...in the afternoon there were Mobile Access meeting with Alcatel...even though I'm not in mobile access, I joined the meeting since my workspace was in the planning/meeting room...the meeting was lead by my supervisor, En Norhisham...the meeting was about SSV report, handover/ATP, site on air, SDP submission, TP submission and plan on air for May, June and July...since En Zaidi was busy so I'm not reporting in today...

Day 22(Tuesday, 4 May) 

so today as I arrived at the office, I immediately reporting in to him...so I show my training schedule and told him that I will be under transmission unit for 3 weeks from 3rd May until 21st May...he asked En Kamarul Firdaus to assist me during the training period as a result I was assigned to key in data for 130 Microwave Survey Report (MSR)...MSR is a report to be submitted to HQ so that they can release Distribution Microwave Program (DMP) to the vendor (Huawei) and then Huawei will release Link Budget to be used by contractor for link installation, alignment and configuration...Link Budget is a calculation involving the gain and loss factors associated with the antennas, transmitters, transmission lines and propagation environment, to determine the maximum distance at which a transmitter and receiver can successfully operate...below are the example of MSR, DMP and Link Budget (please click to see larger image)...

 
MSR                                                  DMP                                             Link Budget

MSR usually attached with photos of LOS view from site A to B and B to A, topomap, and Path Data...

LOS view                                          Path Data                                           Topomap

Day 23(Wednesday, 5 May)

today I continue my assignment to key in data for MSR and learn how to read latitude and longitude on topomap...for example, take the latitude and longitude from site in the MSR above, Hospital Kuala Berang, Lat : 005 03' 24.5" N  Long : 103 04' 00.1" E
in the topomap, there are only degree and minute so to get a precise location in topomap, multiply the seconds with 0.61666 where in this example for latitude 24.5 x 0.61666 = 15.1 mm while for longitude 0.1 x 0.61666 = 0.0617mm...so in the topomap for latitude, at 05 03' we add 15 mm(round up) towards North and for longitude at 103 04' we add 0.06 mm(almost 0 mm or 1 mm) towards East...

(picture will be uploaded)

Day 24(Thursday, 6 May)

again I continued key in data for MSR the whole day...

Holiday(Friday, 7 May)

1 month in mobile unit...

1st day of intern was the slowest day of the month...but without notice its already past one month...and that one month I was in the Mobile Access(MA) unit...20 days of exposed under MA unit was not enough to learn everything...but life must go on...so today and 3 weeks onwards, I will be under Transmission(Tx) unit...I hope this time there will be no more time to waste...I will try to gather as much knowledge as I can as I only have 15 days...
