1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I work on 21CN Network planning and repairing Ethernet Circuit faults for corporate customers. When a customer orders a circuit, I will be in the front line planning its near exchange, what bandwidths and the length of cable it requires. Send this information to FE to execute the plan.
