The Test, Commissioning & Integration department was established to meet the growing need for multi-vendor installation and commissioning. Greenwoods has acquired the technical resources to provide this service and is conversant in the use of many OEM technologies with seamless integrations onto multiple global carriers networks. Greenwoods is trained and accredited to work on the major OEMs' equipment. We have worked across Europe, the US and Asia for a range of global operators and OEMs. Greenwoods' extensive test and commissioning capabilities complement the rest of our operational services, ensuring that customers receive a total end-to-end network implementation service of the highest quality. Our test and commissioning capabilities include: Software validation and verification Stand alone testing of network elements Link testing Ring testing OTDR testing Insertion loss measurement Management connectivity via DCC channels Commissioning and configuration of routers and switches DCN connectivity Integration of equipment onto Network Operations Centre Local and remote circuit testing RF testing VSWR testing DTF testing QAM testing Network integration Troubleshooting Training Test and commissioning services cover the following technologies and equipment: PDH / SDH / Sonet WDM / DWDM / CWDM Mobile networks - MSC, BSC, BTS, microwave, GSM, GPRS, UMTS IP routing / Voice over IP (VoIP) / ATM / DSL technologies - routers, switches, DCN, LAN, WAN and all intermediate systems Submarine Line Terminating Equipment (SLTE) GPS timing sources Network rationalisation Network rationalisation has become a necessity within the telecommunications industry, as carriers strive to maximise their existing networks. Greenwoods has the capability to de-install and de-commission equipment (including the migration of all live traffic) at redundant or low capacity sites, re-installing and re-commissioning equipment at new sites where demand is greater. By optimising equipment usage elsewhere in the network, operators can enjoy substantial cost savings as the need to buy expensive new routing equipment is eliminated. Additionally, by using Greenwoods to perform this service, operators are able to improve network efficiency without incurring the cost of recruiting or re-training to acquire the necessary skill sets. In this way, carriers can concentrate their efforts on the technical delivery of core services to their customers. Our expertise in this area assists carriers to maximise their existing infrastructure, balancing out network capacity cost effectively and ensuring a high quality service. Technical Support A flexible highly skilled group of engineers are available to troubleshoot problems that may arise on an operator's network. The individuals in this team are trained to the highest level in specific vendor technology with over 100 years of network experience collectively. This provides customers an on demand resource for multi-vendor equipment with multi-carrier ‘know how’, vital in times of network disruption, outage, or unknown problem.
