Abstract :
This paper presents a planning framework designed to better align long term core network planning with the broader influencing factors and planning decisions in order to more efficiently deploy resources. This was accomplished by using a SIPOC (stakeholders, input, process, output, customer) approach to systematically outline the broader context in which core network planning is surrounded by.. The paper articulates 6 key areas of society that derive value for relatively unique purposes, including healthcare, education, business and others. The planning framework aligns inputs and outputs of the planning process with these key areas, as well as owners, operators, and other parties involved directly with the network itself. This framework provides a clear articulation of research and planning needs in order to deploy networks in regions that are sensitive to inefficient deployment of resources, such as the developing world, and rural and remote region of even the developed world.
