Aqeel was my opposite number in Ericsson during a 2G IP Access Mobilink/Ericsson Pakistan deployment in Islamabad. Aqeel is without doubt the best Project Manager I have worked with, he is diligent, technically gifted and a true gentleman at all times. The project was delivered on time and with very positive feedback from the end customer. This was largely due to Aqeel’s commitment and ability to manage his own stakeholders I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Aqeel and would jump at the chance to work with him in the future.

Manager Implementation Core

Sep 2013 - Jun 2015
Working on a 2G/3G Modernization Project for the biggest cellular operator in Pakistan i.e. Mobilink, responsible for over all Core Implementation activities throughout the country. Ericsson’s latest controller – Evo Controller 8200 – is the market’s only true multi controller. The Evo Controller 8200 is a vital component of the RAN evolution strategy. It combines the functions of the GSM base station controller (BSC) and the UMTS radio network controller (RNC) in one common network controller. With the EVO Controller, we are making it easier to leverage investments in GSM, while offering WCDMA customers even higher performance levels. The Ericsson GSM BSC and WCDMA RNC product family gives an operator a wide choice of configurations for different network topologies, from metropolitan optimized for high traffic to rural optimized for coverage. The Evo Controller 8200/RNC is built to handle the increased demand from smartphones, as well as laptops. Show less
