Design & Planning of IN system:

  1. Co-ordinate and provide planning and control of initiatives, investment, capacity expansion of IN nodes:

  • Using commercial forecasted subscriber base, to forecast required IN soft and hard capacities
  • Establish OPCO typical mix of traffic per subscriber
  • Build and enhance tools for traffic and Network Element calculation
  • Monitor end to end utilisation to provide forecasts aimed at providing head room to control route congestion.
  • Support in development and execution of IN operations, expansion and evolution
  • Participate in initiatives aimed at optimising core network CAPEX and OPEX in collaboration Optimisation Team of Managed service partner.
  • Set-up and monitor Key Input & Output KPIs for IN networks
  • Maintain & ensure updated DLD of OpCos

  • Ensure planning for 99.99% reliability and redundancy in the IN network; Institute a robust quality improvement plan as well as a Business Continuity Plan.
  • Deliver a long-term Network Deployment strategy with the objective of improving Capex Productivity, introducing new technology & best service quality provider with most cost efficient design in the world.

  1. Provide Quarterly NCP (Network change plan ) including the any design changes forecasted on the core network:
  • Provide BOQ output in liaison with the Managed capacity Vendor or Core equipment vendor.
  • Following up extensions and Installation of core Network nodes.
  • Participate in UAT and FNI of features as well as HW/SW of PS Core & IP Core nodes.
  • Ensure that all new nodes under domain are documented and comply to Bharti Information security policy
    • LLD & HLD, CCRs maintenance
    • Keep log of quarterly  network changes effected on Core network nodes
  • Observation of KPI as a pro-active measure to prevent service degradation, capacity chocking and most specifically after network interventions. Always ensure sufficient headroom is available for HW and SW capacities
  • Auditing of core network configuration maintained by the Managed Services Partner and report any anomalies.
  • Support to establishment of Key Performance Indicators KPI for nodes
Support Innovation delivery in IN prepaid product & services
  • Support collection of business inputs, technical utilization trends and forecast.
  • Support collaboration across all business units within the value chain.
  • Support to evaluate and implement all world class system possibilities & standardization to rollout world class products at lowest possible cost to achieve customer delight and ensuring +1 experience than competition at all times.
