Elements and Performance Criteria
- Scope the project
- Prepare for work according to site-specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures
- Determine the type of core network by accessing and using network information sources
- Produce a brief showing how core network architecture components relate to the larger network and their impact on the work
- Evaluate equipment type and technologies to be considered to determine availability and compatibility with existing network equipment
- Obtain resources and equipment needed for the work according to enterprise procedures and check for correct operation and safety
- Assess capacity limitation of platforms in context of the work to ensure maximum network performance
- Determine product capability and calculate allowable capacity of the core network to allow for network growth
- Produce deployment plan for a core network
- Assess demand for the core network using key geographic, demographic, forecast and bandwidth data
- Identify key parameters of the core network to be measured for capacity management
- Produce a preliminary deployment plan for the core network using architectural principles and assessed demand to maintain integrity of the core network
- Assess additional planning requirements for voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and wireless voice networks from voice networks, and for hosting and content distribution networks from media and content networks
- Create a financial business case for deployment of the core network based on assessed demand to justify a return on investment (RoI) and operational costs
- Discuss unexpected situations with appropriate personnel, with consideration to job specifications, safety and enterprise procedures to establish a solution
- Complete work and report its impact on network performance
