umts closing down...sob sob

its official! UMTS_Test is closing down! believe it!

bila dengor the news, (although i have heard it unofficially from counterparts in Cork), terasa tension pun ader, terasa bengang pun ader, terasa sedih pun ader :( tapi nak buat camne, motorola product is a crap i would conclude..

the decision has been made to slowly close down UMTS project as a whole, from SE, Dev, Test, CSIS etc... sebab takder customer...all this while we do have customers from Portugal (Optimus), China (Vibo), Kuwait (tak ingat apa nama company dah) tapi since motorola made a decision to partner with Huawei, all of them terus tak nak continue to use motorola anymore. what i heard is that they are willing to wait for the new product from Huawei.

so sekarang we're ramping down...and all of our team members (about 25 of us) are said to be moved to GSM. kira dah downgrade la from 3G to 2G :P tapi alhamdulillah dari takder keje :) and the first batch to move will be somewhere end of october (around 12 of us)..and the others will move in stages until end of the year..

having said that, currently we're just supporting our sole customer who're going to do a cutover from load .11 to load .18 end of october..and our immediate task now is to make sure the cutover is smooth..i doubt it :P

bila pikir2 balik, all this while (2 years) buat testing 3G, day in, day out, kejar dateline, keje long hours, weekends, raise a lot of issues, mcm for nothing, tapi berkat ramadhan ni :P aku syukur dgn apa aku dah buat...at least we found a lot of issues until the customer decided not to take our product :P so jadik dev memeng pressure siot!

i love testing! :D
