@edmondtumusiime
I design and optimize high-performing 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G radio networks.
What I'm looking for
I've designed, commissioned, and optimized radio networks for Vodacom Mozambique, Orange Uganda, and Tuvi Technologies across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G environments.
At Vodacom Mozambique, I delivered macro, micro, small-cell, in-building, LTE coverage, and capacity designs, including a street-level project that improved QoS on major streets in Maputo. I also led rollout teams, network performance monitoring, parameter optimization, and knowledge transfer for local engineers.
Most recently, I led drive-test engineers, planners, and optimization specialists at Tuvi Technologies, turning field data into coverage, capacity, KPI, and service-quality improvements while managing project budgets, timelines, and resources.
