Seminar on Network
Planning Strategy for Evolving Network Architectures for
Asia Pacific Region
(ITU,
Bangkok, Thailand,
11-15 November
2002)
|
|
Summary
Telecommunication networks
architectures are changing to meet new requirements for a number of
services/applications (Broadband, IP, Multimedia, mobile, etc.).
New generation equipment (soft
switches, databases, service controllers, new protocols and interfaces,
etc.) and new call/mix traffic cases are going to be introduced in the
networks.
Different solutions/network
architectures can be taken into account for a smooth transition from
existing network infrastructures (PSTN/PLMN) towards New Generation
Network (NGN) as a result of the convergence process leading to different
applications/services sharing network infrastructures.
Any real Network Planning case
should be dealt with using powerful and modern tools available on the
market.
The workshop has the purpose to
address the countries towards the correct strategies to be chosen
depending on the Network Architecture is going to be planned.
List
of the topics to be dealt with during the
Workshop:
- New network architectures and
traffic cases
- Strategic Planning and new
Technologies
- Long-term Planning and Long
cycle Investments
- Short/Medium term Planning and
Service/Network Deployment
- Data Gathering
- Traffic characterization
- Network Design
- Network Costing and
Optimization
- Q.O.S.
- Documentation (Network Plan
and deployment)
- Business Oriented Needs
(customer segments to address, service building, reduce capital cost, etc.)
- Network Oriented Needs
(forecast of service and traffic demands, network
topology and routing, evolution, protection level)
- Network Planning Tools
(different problems/cases, different tools)
- Partnership
