# The Syria Files

Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

Hello Ammar,
From technical point of view, better to get technical support directly from vendor (SELEX), since in Athens we do not have the required experience with Selex equipment. It would be our pleasure to add in our Greek team portfolio Tetra optimization
process. However for this we might need to be involved with this process from earlier stages, as well as to participate in this, during real network development in Syria. This has not been possible, for many reasons.
On the other hand we consider that RF planning / optimization team of Intracom is not limited to mother Greek Intracom. So we expect from you to represent this process in Tetra network of Syria, with direct communication with vendor. It shall be our
pleasure to get a copy of all your communication about this process (me and Alexandra). PMs of this project should advise us if there is any problem for direct communication with Selex.

Dears Panagiotis & Alexandr;
We should start drive test and optimization soon, and we need someone –who is involved with radio parameters of SELEX equipments- as reference to support us especially in the first steps.
Would you please take this role or you’ll guide and transfer me to someone else after arrange with management?
Thanks

Dears;
We urgently need support in the following service impacting two problems. They might be related to each other or not.
Let us know if your require us to do any test to help you to propose the solution.
1-
Qasioun is very high site (umbrella site) over Damascus city, and it is the serving cell in some parts of Damascus city (outdoor & indoor),
That causes a lot of Ping-Pong Handover & Reselection between Qasioun and many sites. To decrease this action without
Turn off Qasioun or apply any hardware modification I suggest this parameters modifications:
A)
- Increase value of RX_Lev_Access_Min ((from 4 //-105dBm// to 5 //-100dBm//))
TO MAKE THE TERMINAL WHICH CAMPING IN QASIOUN TO START CALCULATION TO RESELECT STARTING FROM -58dBm NOT FROM -63dBm;
That means the calculation of reselect is always applying.
((the condition isRSSI < Rx_Lev_Access_Min + Slow_TH + Fast_TH))
- Decrease value of Fast_Hy ((from 3 //6dBm// to 1 //2dBm//))
TO ACCELERATE MAKING QASIOUN IN RELENQUISHABLE CASE ((the condition is C2 > C1 + Fast_HY))
TO ACCELERATE HANDOVER PROCESS FROM QASIOUN ((the condition is C2 > Fast_TH + Fast_HY))
2-
When the terminal is camping on cell (A) in ideal mode with signal not less than -77dBm then it goes out of network (no channel) for some seconds then
The terminal camping in cell (B) although it is neighbor to cell (A); the question is:
IS THIS PROBLEM RELATED TO ANY RADIO ISSUE such as parameters to be changed in the switch or the base station?
Thanks
