Produce planning specifications for end-to-end service delivery

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to gather information on the types of end-to-end services and product delivery and evaluate their capability to meet present and future demands.

It applies to individuals with a range of telecommunications skills and extensive knowledge of core and access network capabilities of the service provider. It prepares individuals for entry into planning and design for network additions and implementations to accommodate network growth and new technologies within the industry.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Scope the project

1.1 Prepare for given work according to site specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures

1.2 Determine types of currently deployed end-to-end service delivery networks by accessing and using network information sources

1.3 Produce a brief on how end-to-end service delivery network elements relate to the larger network and their impact on the work

2. Assess capacity and capability of a specific project

2.1 Determine the nature, quantity, architecture and condition of existing end-to-end service delivery network elements and attributes that contribute to determining planning specifications

2.2 Assess capacity and capability limitations of an existing end-to-end service delivery network project by accessing network information sources and conducting site visits

2.3 Assess capacity and capability limitations of a building facility project that contribute to determining planning specifications

3. Assess capacity and capability of product and service delivery

3.1 Determine types of currently deployed products and services by accessing sales and marketing information databases

3.2 Produce a brief evaluating capability and technology of current product and services to meet demands and their relationship to the larger network

3.3 Evaluate emerging technologies that contribute to determining planning specifications for demands of future products and services

4. Produce planning briefs

4.1 Produce a brief on the planning specifications of an end-to-end service delivery network and a building facility project for the planning department to determine current and future network demands

4.2 Produce a brief on products and services planning requirements for sales and marketing to determine provisioning of future demands

Evidence of ability to:

access relevant network information databases to determine the types of end-to-end services and products

conduct site evaluation assessment accurately

evaluate capacity and capability of end-to-end services to meet current and future demands

assess limitations of current end-to-end services and produce specifications to meet future demands

assess limitations of current building facility and services and produce specifications to meet future demands

summarise and produce planning briefs to network, sales and marketing planning sections.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify emerging technologies, trends and products available overseas that will be in demand in the Australian market

describe information required to prepare and review limits of:

broadband networks

data networks

facilities and environmental issues

fixed access transmission network

media and content

regional and metropolitan network

voice networks

wireless network

outline the following aspects of network planning:

basic network design including routing and redundancy

levels of reliability performance standards applicable to specific equipment deployment needs

standards and regulations

describe the distribution structure of networks including:

access

backbone

edge

outline current equipment and product types to meet future service obligations.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Telecommunications – Network Planning field of work and include access to:

a network planning area with systems and deployment rules and standards

end-to-end services and products databases

relevant workplace procedures

product and manufacturing specifications

codes of practice and standards

manuals and reference materials.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
