RF
is a part of Nokia Radio Frequency and Advanced Antennas organization. We are responsible for specifying, designing, implementing, testing and maintaining radio products’ software for various radio access technologies, including GSM, WCDMA, LTE and 5G. As a tribe we are divided into self-organizing teams, working in an Agile environment. Our products are developed mainly in C++ and C on several software architecture layers, including those close to hardware, as well as on higher levels of abstraction. At this point we have almost 500 engineers working in Wrocław and Kraków locations. We maintain very close cooperation with sites in USA, Finland, China and Romania. As an organization, we are responsible for our products’ integration throughout the whole product life cycle, which is performed in the automated Continuous Integration environment.
A common and clearly defined vision, open communication and a deep passion for innovation are the features that best describe our work environment and its unique atmosphere. We believe these are the values that shape the future of technology
L3
is a part of a large project that’s being developed by several sites from different parts of the world (Poland, US, Finland, Germany, France, and China). Our journey started in 2009 with LTE. Since then our team has grown to over 200 people. Currently we are actively contributing to both 4G and 5G projects, creating the cutting-edge technology that revolutionize nearly every aspect of our everyday lives.

BTS OAM
(Base Transceiver Station Operations, Administration and Maintenance) development unit is responsible for designing, providing and delivering software for base stations that support many radio technologies simultaneously, including CloudBTS and 5G, which is a revolutionary solution in the world of mobile telecommunications.
Remaining in line with the latest trends towards cloud solutions, the department is focused on virtualization of solutions to facilitate the management of network infrastructure through greater scalability and reliability as well as to support the faster implementation of new products. The software created by BTS OAM is also used to develop new technologies, i.a. 5G and Telco cloud. In this department, the base station management interface is developed. Additionally, there are supporting tools created for internal organization needs but also for whole MN.

RAN Pz
(Radio Access Networks Productization) department is responsible for quality assurance of mobile telephony base stations operating parallelly in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G technologies. Thanks to the innovative solution, it is possible to achieve full scalability of the operator network in the scope of the used technology. Productization teams are fully accountable for product continuous system verification and Customer Specific Verification of base station products across multiple radio access technologies.
System level test scope is based on its functional and non-functional SFS requirements and System level Acceptance Criteria. Testing ensures that SBTS SW physically works as designed in E2E environment. During System Level Tests product as defined by the System Under Test is seen mainly as grey-box. Another type of the requirements are customer specific requirements that haven’t been translated to product requirements in feature development process. Those could be the ones that are known post feature development phase or specific customer setups that are driving certain feature interactions etc. Typically, these kinds of requirements are targeted to be covered in System Level test phase.
