Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Technical staff and their sub-contractors from private and public organisations apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They combine technical design skills with broader organisational skills to plan and deploy access network technologies for a service provider such as a major carrier or a rail service provider.
Technical officers or engineers may be responsible for small projects or parts of larger projects on NGN in the deployment of copper, wireless, hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC), fibre to the x (FTTx) and fibre networks.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan the deployment of network architecture when conducting access network telecommunications work. It includes use and consideration of access network deployment data, technology, equipment, capacity management and network management information sources.
The plan may be for a new installation or upgrade of capacity or technology for existing network or subsystem for convergence to Next Generation Networks (NGN).
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
