Industry Immersion Part 4

An industry experience to treasure...

I am about to finish my immersion journey with my colleague, Sir Nicart. A big big thanks to all the staff that comprises PLDT South Luzon Fixed Access and Transport Operation in the Bicol Region Field Force 5 Office.

In our base

Our mentor, Sir Rhomar Encanto invited us to visit the Domestic Fiber Optic Network (DFON) site to check the equipment at Pasacao, Camarines Sur. We used the PLDT service pickup and arrived at the site at around 3:00 PM.

On our way to DFON site

He accompanied us in the secured equipment room and showed us the different types of transport equipment operating 24/7. I was amazed with the technology used in the transport operations.  Devices are interconnected and worked in harmony to achieve its goal of transporting data. Sir Rhomar allowed us to observe the checking of devices and gave us chance to ask/inquire regarding the process.

After minutes of observation, he then invited us to dine with the PLDT staff. They served variety of sea foods locally available in the area since the site is along the sea coast. Indeed, we had a lot of enjoyment during that day which for a very short time, made me feel that I was part of PLDT-SLFxTOP personnel.

I thank Sir Rhomar for giving us the chance to experience their industry works and practices. Amidst his very busy schedule, he found time to willingly share technical knowledge in transport operations and conveyed us to their site.

This week, I am completing my requirements: continuing my research paper, finalizing the compilation, etc.

It's really a good industry experience. And a fun way of learning too...

Location: Naga, Camarines Sur, Philippines

Industry Immersion Part 3

Learning from the Industry... We were so excited this morning. Eager to learn on what the telecommunications industry is doing, we arrive at the office on time. We hoped for the best as we waited for our mentor to come and guide us in the immersion process. Sir Bryan & me before the start of the immersion I was amazed with what I learned today. Indeed, Information & Communications Technology (ICT) is an integral part of telecommunications. He started introducing us with the functions of access gateways, routers, L2/L3 switches as well as how they separate three services: voice, data and video.  Sir Rhomar while discussing the separation of voice, data and video services He demonstrated to us how to use Network Management System (NMS) to remotely control network devices all across the country. He also showed us a web-based program used in the fault ticket management and resolution. While he discussed about the maintenance of network infra sites

My Dissertation Idea

New Challenge Thanks to God, the challenges of immersion had ended. The things I have undertaken this summer helped me prepare on my transition towards Dissertation. At this moment, I am preparing myself for the next challenge and looking up topics that motivates me. I do it through reading journals and taking notes of interesting ideas they offer as well as future works/things not yet done.  Re search Area I Pl an on Concentrating One of our professors in DIT once told us to concentrate and spend time on areas that interests us the most. He said that as much as possible, avoid things which will waste our time since it is very precious especially during Dissertation making. My ideas was so vague before the start of immersion but now, things are slowly getting clearer. The area I am considering is Semantic Web/Linked Data for Data Interoperability and Information Retrieval. Honestly, there is still a lot of ambiguity regarding this but with God’s help I’ll narrow this d
