Frameworx Application: Implementation Planning

Category: (2) TAM Application Type

Application Identifier: 7.1.2

Maturity Level: 4

Overview

Implementation Planning is based on graphics rather than inventory data and is used for the local implementation of Tactical Plans at street level and within buildings.

Functionality

Implementation Planning applications are typically CAD/GIS based and are used to provide the following:

• Implement Tactical Plans Locally - implement tactical plans locally at individual CSP sites and at street level.
• Provide Physical Implementation Information - provide levels of implementation details that tactical planning does not need to specify, such as duct routes and the frame appearances of device ports.

Identify Shortfalls in Physical Infrastructure - Identify shortfalls in infrastructure, such as building capacity, which may not be visible to central tactical planning users.

This requires large amounts of data, potentially leading to a very expensive system solution. However, such systems are used locally for construction projects, so the system does not require a live view of the complete network. It is only necessary to administer a physical planning solution centrally to ensure data consistency; the data itself may be distributed to individual locations.

• Radio Planning for cell site coverage and quality and for cell-to-cell coverage is a specialist application covered by Implementation Planning.
