Test and measure cellular phone and network equipment performance
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
Field officers and supervisors from telecommunications carriers, service providers, contractors and other public or private organisations apply the skills and knowledge of this unit. They perform measurements during equipment upgrades or during commissioning, acceptance testing and routine maintenance on cellular network equipment.
The skills are mainly related to testing cellular sub-elements and subsystems. Field officers under supervision may be responsible for projects and for the coordination of projects in sites remote from the organisational headquarters. Technical officers also participate in design activities.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to test, measure and document the performance of cellular mobile phone and network equipment. It also involves analysing test results and recommending modifications to the network.
The integration of specialised optical devices into existing networks may be required as part of an upgrade required by services and applications of Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN).
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
