Network Capacity Planning and Forecasting Workshop
3 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Network Capacity planning in telecommunication and ICT networks is evolving from the traditional technology-driven approach to a data-driven approach that relates to a balancing act between costs and capacity of IT and Telecommunication networks. Not only a well-designed network planning system but a sound capacity expansion strategy is necessary that help drive greater ROI, superior customer experience and operational efficiency.
This workshop emphasizes on details of network capacity planning, performance analysis, system sizing, performance measurements, trend analysis etc.
After successful completion of this course participants will be able to:
- Understand Network Capacity Planning problems, processes and methodologies.
- Explore the fundamentals of teletraffic engineering processes with the emphasis on how those concepts are applied to networking solutions.
- Emphasize on what strategies can be employed to reduce cost in existing networks while transitioning to 5G and other advanced technologies.
- Improve, optimize, and maintain network performances.
- Understand about Demand Forecasting
- Learn about performance management and how this information can be transformed into a vehicle for forecasting capacity requirements.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
The course was thorough and covering all aspect in the technical environment which are from engineering, IT and also the basic background of the telco industry.
This course has given me more insight on 5G network as a whole, from introduction to Smart Cities. The presentation was well outlined and learning objectives were successfully completed.
Excellent introductory course presented by an excellent instructor who was so engaging and supportive that I did not hesitate to ask questions; His answers and presentation was great and understandable.
The trainer explained LTE, LTE cell planning and 5G technologies in extremely interesting manner and I must say that the discussion during the workshop was simply excellent.
