Deployment & Field Engineering

A network path is only useful when its dependencies and owners are known.

Users experience one connection. Behind it may sit wireless coverage, local equipment, carrier paths, remote access, application behavior, and several support boundaries.

Operating question

How should sites, users, applications, and providers connect?

  • Network architecture support
  • WAN, LAN, and wireless deployment
  • Carrier and provider coordination
  • Remote connectivity
  • Testing and documentation
  • Network-management responsibility boundaries

What would we discuss first?

Trace the Network Path

Users and sites. Provider paths. Coverage. Access. Support boundaries.
