Central Office Design

Design Functions identified in the Design phase of installation are focused on the Customer’s process to design and engineer (detail) the requirements for a specific deployment of technology in a specified time frame.  Some of the specific functional skills here include the following:

Detailed Engineering Design – Specific skill to develop the overall engineering plan and job specification, with substantial detail, that outlines the technology being deployed and how, when, and where that technology integrates into the Customer’s existing network

Site Engineering Requirements – Required skill set to define the specifics of the implementation from Customer Records with regard to power, location, cabling details, points of termination, etc.  Also develop the specific listing  (Bill of Materials – BOM) of major material items to be implemented

Work Prints / Record Generation - Working knowledge of Customer’s record keeping system(s) used for the creation of all work prints associated with the deployment as well as the updating of specific assignment records.

Method of Procedure – Skills necessary to develop the preliminary Method of Procedure (MOP) that outlines the step-by-step manner in which the implementation will be undertaken.

Engineering Site Survey - This is the skill necessary to complete a field review of the Customer’s implementation site(s) to determine if the Engineering plan and job specification, developed from Customer Records, can be implemented.  Also involved is the determination of the intermediate and minor installation materials required to complete this implementation
