OAC solution Validation Engineer
Virgin Media.
A number of VM services are delivered over fiber access tails. Where circuits are off-net or fiber is unavailable, BT WES tails are used to connect to the customer sites. This service is provided over a dedicated point-to-point BT circuit between the two end points, typically a customer site and a VM PoP. The BT WES portfolio is to be replaced later in 2009 by the BT Ethernet Access Direct product.
The OAC design introduces savings by changing from a point-to-point to a hub and spoke topology. Traffic from multiple remote sites in the OLO network will be switched to an aggregate Gb interconnect at a Virgin Point of Presence. There will be eight interconnects with BT, five with C&W and one with COLT My role was to validate the design solution for the their offsite expansion
• Test the OAC circuits are working as expected on Both National Ethernet and Telewest products
• Report to senior management on client technical challenges and appropriate strategies for resolution.
• Validation of Designs, Proof of concepts and support the live deployments in the BT integration lab facility.
• Provide the documentation with procedures and caveats on the existing or the new solutions to the field engineers based on the results from internal testing or design changes validation..
