What is the role of the Telecom Test Coordinator?

 

The test coordinator is your single point of contact for the Telecommunications Equipment Test program. This person will handle all aspects of the program, including confidentiality agreements. Having one contact relieves the burden of having to deal with multiple people at a facility. The engineers serving as coordinators have a combined test experience of more than 60 years.
