Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Scope the project
  2. Produce deployment plan for an Access Network
  3. Complete work and report its impact on network access

Performance Evidence

Evidence of ability to:

gather data appropriately within information sources and evaluate how the data relates to the access architecture

source current major equipment and technologies used in an access network and detail their compatibilities

accurately plan deployment of an access network architecture, including deployment rules, capacity and capability management and monitoring techniques

complete work within a timeframe typically expected of the discipline, work function and industrial environment.

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


Knowledge Evidence

outline the features of an access network, including:

architectures and geographical categorisation

information sources

technology and equipment

define capacity and capability management

identify capacity limitation of various platforms

describe commercial considerations of access network deployment

identify compatibility issues of technology and equipment

explain currency of technology and equipment use

summarise enterprise deployment rules and rationale

identify exemption process criteria

identify major equipment components of a modern access architecture

describe monitoring techniques to manage the access network

outline network topologies

identify product capability and availability allowable within an access network

outline telecommunications access networks issues and challenges.
