Introduction:-

I trained in Orange training center specifically in the Transmission department ( Back Bone Transmission and operations team) which both of them are responsible for fixing any problem that acquires to the network or the fiber optics cables, this team operates all around Jordan and many other countries such as Germany, France, Palestine etc.

Training Summary:-

Week no. Main tasks

Week 1 First week was an Introduction about the department work and I have learnt about the old and the current technologies used in the company such as the (PDH ,SDH ,DWDM) in general such as the speeds, distances and cables types.

Week 2 After getting more knowledge about the SDH and the DWDM technologies the engineer started showing me practically how to create an SDH network and how to fix it’s problem using Go Global software and I helped in fixing a very major problem that happened where more than 60 mobile sites went down at once due to a fiber cut in a common cable.

Week 3 And then after finishing the SDH practical work, I started with the DWDM work on Alcatel OMS 1350 software, I learnt how to create a loop on the path between two towns either facility loop back or a terminal loop back, how to create paths and trails for a Circuit as well.

Week 4 In this week we went to a field visit (site visit) in Marj Al Hamam we saw the SDH and the analyzer we connected the cards and the shelfs as we were given the information from the engineers. Also the second visit we saw the DWDM and routers we also connected the shelf and the slots according to the points we were given.

Week 5 In this week we continued working on the DWDM network but this time we created paths and trails for a 1G network (11DPM12) on the OMS 1350 software (Alcatel). Also I monitored some Global alarms and learnt the differences between each alarm.

Week 6 + 7 In those two weeks I was asked to read a book about fiber optics and how to install them. Also they gave me some documents to read more about Alcatel technologies and Huwawi technologies.

I went for one day to the 4G department and they also gave me small introduction and a book to read about the GSM module.

In addition to the typical work.

Week 8 The last week was a busy week for the company as they were having major problems and meetings so the engineer couldn’t be able to stay with me for a long time sometimes, he just told me in general that there’s a software for Huwawi called U2000.

Conclusion:-

I had a pleasant experience by having new knowledge in creating networks, fibers, GSM etc, and gained a very important skill which is how to deal with the professional environment, and got to have a sneak peek of what a Telecommunications Engineer do in his/her profession.
