Question

Actually, how to become an engineer for the operation, maintenance of base stations?
Maybe there are some analogues of Cisco CCNA certifications in the field of telecom?

Answer 1

Your question is somewhat broad, as one must understand some of the basic concepts of what you call a base station operations engineer.
A set of regular base stations is presented below ( the list is incomplete and approximate ):
Add here also the installers of all this (including towers), as a minimum.
Bases are maintained by engineers of various profiles. You can be a specialist in the field of diesel generators and work in this profession in a telecommunications company, or you can be a radio transmission engineer and be able to competently distribute the network and channels between bases, adjusted for redundancy, optimality and future compaction. You can know about diversity and be an antenna module planner. Be a connoisseur of optics and everything connected with it. You can also sit in the office in the Network Operation Center and manage a specific configuration and troubleshoot remotely.
Yes, many engineers can combine some things: for example, it is never a sin for a transmission engineer to check a diesel engine - once he has arrived at the site, but, as a rule, there are more or less dedicated groups of specialists for the above works. An IT engineer who configures the router at the base station directly should not climb into the power supply panel to replace a faulty machine (and according to the regulations it is not allowed, and for safety reasons).
As if answering your question, I want to say that it is not necessary to be a "jack of all trades" to work with base stations. As for certification: yes, to work with high-altitude equipment you must have a certificate - it is provided by special organizations (as well as for working with electrical equipment of all kinds). As for the "radio part" itself, Ericsson (at least) has training programs ( list of programs , a list with more details on the above ... , certification ), after which you will be issued an official certificate (basic knowledge in the field of radio equipment is all are necessary).
