Collins Ezeh - MCPN

Leading Wireless Operations at ipNX Infrastructure Division, overseeing microwave backhaul, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), radio network deployment, maintenance, and performance across major Nigerian cities: Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Kano, Abia, and Port Harcourt. Improving service level agreements (SLAs) for link availability, MTTR, activation timelines, and quality metrics Driving reliable wireless connectivity to support business growth and end-user satisfaction in a challenging telecom environment Collaborating closely with ipNX Business Division on network performance and customer impact

Directed regional infrastructure operations at ipNX, leading deployment, integration, maintenance, and high-availability performance of fiber (FTTH), RF/microwave backhaul, and regional network core elements to enable reliable enterprise and residential connectivity.Key responsibilities: Oversaw end-to-end FTTH surveys, design, rollout, expansion, and contractor management for timely, on-budget project delivery. Planned, installed, integrated, and maintained RF microwave and fiber backhaul circuits to regional PoPs, ensuring seamless routing and handoff to the national redundant IP/MPLS core. Managed routing and core network functions in the region, sustaining 99.9% uptime on active/core devices (routers, switches, base stations) through optimized protocols, QoS, redundancy, and systematic root cause analysis for permanent fixes. Provided full oversight of regional infrastructure activities, driving SLA compliance, network expansion planning, and internal collaboration for business growth. Ensured NCC regulatory compliance (frequency allocation, data submission) and prepared Right of Way applications for government approvals. Contributed to regional infrastructure budgeting and analysis. Delivered multi-technology operational excellence (fiber + RF + routing/core integration), laying the groundwork for transition to nationwide leadership in Wireless Operations. This version is polished and "smart": Integrates routing/core naturally (e.g., IP/MPLS handoff, protocols, QoS, redundancy) based on ipNX's known architecture (fully redundant IP/MPLS core, multiple submarine backbones, PoP interconnections).
