  • Patent number: 8868438
    Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for automating the work order and specification processes for engineering projects. All documentation is generated, saved, and retrievable over the web according to an identifier. The application is accessible through the user's web browser and is thus available to authorized users irrespective of physical location. The method also consolidates two traditionally separate work order and specification processes.

  • Patent number: 8577332
    Abstract: A method and system for offering a femtocell to a subscriber. The method includes a computer system making a first determination that a level of wireless performance experienced by a mobile station of a subscriber at a given location is less than a threshold level. The method further includes the computer system making a second determination that the given location is location associated with a billing address of the subscriber. The method then includes, in response to the first and second determinations, the computer system initiating a process of offering a femtocell to the subscriber.

  • Patent number: 8140067
    Abstract: A method of operating a computer system comprises receiving per call measurement (PCM) data associated with a radio access network, processing the PCM data to perform a rolling average analysis of dropped calls by the radio access network, processing the rolling average analysis to determine if a location analysis is required, in response to determining that the location analysis is required, processing the PCM data to perform the location analysis of the dropped calls, and processing the location analysis to determine if a response is required.

  • Patent number: 7769840
    Abstract: A web-based geographic network status tool uses an animation process that sequentially displays web pages, one after the other. Each page reflects the status of the network for a different time block. The animation optionally includes two layers. One layer shows which elements (towers) are faulty and why (e.g., subject to power failure, undergoing software or hardware problems, transport problems). The other layer displays if the problem has been perpetuated for more than one time block.
