Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, design, construct and manage access, building or core telecommunications networks.It applies to individuals working as technical officers, communications workers or engineers, from private and public organisations who plan, design and manage access, building and core network technologies for a service provider.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse different types of network technologies
  • 1.1 Review available network technologies and compare them for application to the expansion or augmentation of network services
  • 1.2 Examine various techniques for access networks to provide service to green fields, brown fields and rehabilitation projects
  • 1.3 Examine various techniques for building and core networks to provide for new service, capacity expansion and equipment recovery projects
  • 1.4 Determine the type of network by accessing and using network information sources
  • 1.5 Produce a brief on how network architecture components relate to the larger network and their impact on the work
  • 1.6 Develop an installation activity schedule to minimise workplace disruption and according to relevant regulation and standards
  • 1.7 Evaluate equipment type and technologies to be considered to determine availability and compatibility with existing network equipment
2. Apply deployment and construction practices for network technologies
