SNEA(I) takes pride in the rare feat achieved by its member: Our SNEA member Sri D.Ramesh Kumar SDE (GSM-MSC), Vellore (+919443200799) has done a very marvelous achievement and a very big savings to our beloved Company.
As per the DoT guidelines, MNP had to be implemented in the entire Network before 31.08.2010. When there was an instruction from BSNL to make all the Network Elements in BSNL compatible for the MNP rollout across the country, Nortel vendor did not come forward to make the Nortel GSM Switches MNP compatible, citing some reasons. Nortel switches are functioning in South and east zones. Under these circumstances, BSNL was in a tight corner and started issuing instructions to arrange for diverting the Nortel traffic to Huawei/NSN make MSCs/GMSCs on immediate basis, so as to make GSM network of South Zone MNP compliant at the earliest. Obviously, to cater for the diverted traffic, expansion of Huawei / NSN switches would be inevitable in many places.
Shri D.Ramesh Kumar SDE(MSC) of Vellore MSC, thought that there would be a gross loss to BSNL in investing for the expansion and also the loss that would be incurred by closing down of 22 Nortel switches across South Zone. Moreover, it would be difficult to adhere to the DoT deadline. To tide over these, he started exploring the Nortel Switch in depth and studied various applications available in it. Without any help from any source including Nortel, he succeeded in configuring the Nortel Switch MNP compatible after a long battle. There were lot of hurdles in every step of various call-type processing scenerios , SMS, CDR genererations etc., which were addressed by him successfully. The entire process was explained in a high level meeting with all concerned and it was accepted and approved.
Later, incharges of Nortel Switches across South zone attended the meeting convened in Vellore. They were explained of the complete method of procedure of how to go about implementing MNP in Nortel Switches. All the participants were distributed with a hand-out about this. In the days that followed, Mr Ramesh Kumar was contacted frequently from all Nortel switches during implementation for guidance.
The end result is that all the 22 nortel switces in SZ were made MNP compatible without any expenditure or suffering any loss by the company.
Our member has saved Rs. 24,57,00,000/- by way of avoiding expansions, and prevented loss of Rs. 81,72,00,000/- by way of preventing closure of Nortel switches in South Zone.
Does he not deserve a big pat?
He was encouraged constantly by Sri D. Sivaraj Sr GM(NW-O) CM, Coimbatore and Shri R.Elangovan DGM (MS), Vellore.
BSNL is in dire need of unearthing such talents from our own BSNL-community
