* Familiarity with frequency bands and MFBI functionality used by AT&T and Ericsson (e.g., B12, B14, B66, N260, N261).
* Experience in vendor migration projects (e.g., from Nokia/Huawei to Ericsson).
* Working knowledge of ENDC, MCPC, multi-RAT environments, including GSM/UMTS co-existence and fallback scenarios.
