Ernesto D'Alessandro’s Summary

I have been working in the Telecommunication field since 2004.
My experience started at the end of my university career with an external collaboration in an european project (IST-WINNER) coordinated by Siemens Mobile Communications (the actual Nokia Siemens Networks): this activity was the content of my thesis: "Definition and evaluation of future scenarios for Beyond 3rd generation Radio Access Systems".
One month before the degree I started with a stage at Vodafone Italia N.V., in the planning and logistics network department.
On the first of March 2005 I began my experience in Italtel S.p.a.
For the first three years I have worked as Softswitch Testing Engineer in the Product Integration and Certification Lab, with specialization on SIP, IMS, traffic measurements and generally speaking softswitch (both class IV and class V).
I had also an important role as Testing Project Manager of a softswitch release, addressed to different italian and foreign customers. This activity has lasted for one year and half.
On the first of April 2008 I became Product Manager (afterwards Pre Sales Specialist) at VAS and Multimedia Competence Center, always at Italtel S.p.a.
Nowadays my competence is oriented to SIP application servers, like IP-Centrex, MRF (Media Resource Function in IMS architecture), Fixed Mobile Convergence - Voice Call Continuity, Conferencing, Unified Communication, IPTV solutions, and the Service Layer by Italtel.
I have a great passion for Telecommunication and High Tech arguments. I always try to improve myself: I’m a person you can rely on, with objectives/results achievement orientation, inclined to work in team and to manage a changing environment.
