Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan deployment of network architecture when conducting access network telecommunications work. 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.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Scope the project
  • 1.1 Prepare for work according to site specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures
  • 1.2 Determine type of access network by accessing and using network information sources
  • 1.3 Produce a brief on how access network architecture components relate to the larger network and their impact on the work
  • 1.4 Evaluate equipment type and technologies to be considered, to determine availability and compatibility with existing network equipment
  • 1.5 Obtain resources and equipment needed for the work according to enterprise procedures and check for correct operation and safety
  • 1.6 Assess capacity limitations of various platforms in the context of the work to ensure maximum network performance
