Nokia NSP Network Planning
Course number: OS00111-V
Course duration: 2 days
Price: €1,600
Course overview
This hands-on course is designed to teach how to use the NSP for key network planning functions such as equipment health monitoring, inventory management, capacity planning, forecasting and network simulation. Discover how to configure, execute and analyze several network planning NSP analytics reports. Learn the importance of simulation in network planning and how to import your IP network into the NSP Path Simulation function. Then see how to perform multiple network planning simulations such as increasing bandwidth demand, what-if failure scenarios and even a worst-case scenario to highlight critical failure areas within the network. This course is based on NSP version 24.8.
