Physical Network Planning function focuses on the long-term network design of OSI layers 0-3 (physical network). This includes analysis of the network impact of a new resources, optimization of network resources, failure survivability analysis, forecasting and expansion to meet forecasted demand, and what-if analysis for new technology or different network designs. Responsible for engineering of all OSI layer 0-3 capacity and thereby monitors all equipment accordingly. Also manages capacity augmentation through hand-offs of provisioned capacity to network operations and coordinates the optimization of access facilities.<br/>
