Some of the activities that will be carried out by our Project Management service are elucidated
below:Planning, scheduling and ordering of site works - Site work management is carried out according
to the project master schedule, and includes the mobilization of all the necessary field resources. Any
deviations or potential risks are reported immediately to the project/regional manager.
Site handover and acceptance coordination - This includes the interface with Customer and
coordinating site handover meetings, information and document transfers. It covers both the handover
of the site from Customer to Nokia Siemens Networks (ready for implementation) and the handover
from Nokia Siemens Networks to the site.
Roll-out progress management - We use advanced project management tools to manage roll-out
progress. Roll-out management uploading milestone information and data quality monitoring ensures
timely execution.
Site documentation management We utilize advanced tools and processes for the management
of site documentation. This provides the Customer with a clear structure and online access to the
complete site documentation.
Project reporting and meetings - The project team will facilitate bi-weekly project meetings with the
Customer as mentioned in the RFP, where the project progress, quality, risks, changes and so on are
reported to the Customer.
This team ensures the proper and timely deployment of the Customer Network for the first five sites
and continues to assist the Customer for the deployment of the rest of the sites.

3.3

Deployment Strategy

The deployment strategy has been tailored to Customers Roll-out requirements. The initial phase
involves network design documentation for all the sites, which will be followed by installation &
commissioning, acceptance and system integration of the five sites.It will then be continued with
onsite and remote support to the Customer for deploying the rest of the sites.

3.3.1 Network Design


This service module represents a comprehensive solution for improving the deployment of radio
networks. Network Design for the Customer will last for a period of six months and it consists of three
major parts:

Copyright 2009 Nokia Siemens Networks.


All rights reserved.

Services Solution Description - Version 1.0


SWF50788

Network assessment and analysis supported by survey and test activities


High Level Network design
Detailed Level Network design

The first part typically takes place either ahead of placing the order or even in an earlier phase.The
key point for complex projects is an analysis and design workshop where experts from the Customer
will discuss all related topics with our experts in order to ensure detailed clarification and a common
understanding about all topics. Network assessment may be supported by a survey.
During the second part experts from Nokia Siemens Networks prepare an optimal frame work for the
initial network design for the Customer covering all requirements and agreements from the
assessment phase. This includes finalizing of the hardware and software definition, all the
documentation and project management, and project specific advisory and guidelines as well.
Delimiters concerning network size and growth will be defined too.
The detailed planning then covers all the work necessary to set the project in place as required by the
Customer. This covers detailed planning for all equipment, network topology, capacity design, final
configuration and parameters for all equipment. The result of this activity is the Customer site and
network documentation are ready for final acceptance.
In case additional hardware or software will be required for measurement, analysis or design tools
the project manager will ensure their availability. The project manager will also be responsible for
timely delivery of results. The project manager represents the main interface between Nokia Siemens
Networks and Customer .
The detailed description of the Network Design Services given to the Customer is attached in
annexure 1.

3.3.2 Installation & Commissioning


Specially trained personnel install all equipment delivered to Customer. Installation takes place when
the results of installation planning are available and construction works(responsibility of Customer) are
completed. An installation supervisor verifies, via a construction works/implementation handover
meeting, that the site is ready for installation when construction works are completed.
The equipment is installed according to approved, site-specific documents, national codes, Customerspecific requirements and in accordance to the procedures mentioned in our installation manuals

3.3.3 System Integration


During the network integration, we ensures that the site is fully operational and ready for commercial
use as part of the system. We configure the interconnections between the network elements and
customize network element parameters according to project-specific documents and our integration
manuals.Inter-working of network elements, as well as the functionality of alarms and recovery
systems on a network level, is overseen and tested. Nokia Siemens Networks prepares an integration
test report, which includes all the test results for each test executed.

3.3.4 Acceptance
Acceptance support service assists Customer in verifying contracted communication equipment
regard to quantity, quality, features and interoperability in Customers environment. We perform this
support service in accordance with supplied Acceptance Test Manuals (ATMNs).

5. Care Hardware Services


Hardware Services provide high quality repair and advanced spare part logistics services to assist
Customers maintenance activities. High quality repair services ensure that the equipment is
maintained in peak performance with maximum reliability and compliance with technical
specifications. Advanced spare part logistics services help Customer improve maintenance
productivity and rectification times while reducing their CAPEX and OPEX expenditure.

5.1

Repair and Return

Defective Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), which are sent to Nokia Siemens Networks, will be
repaired/replaced according to latest technology standards and quality taking into account the repair
improvement advice given by R&D. A final factory test assures high quality of the repaired FRUs and
consequently reduces the number of defective FRUs which lowers operational effort for spare part
handling. Repair statistic reports will be created on monthly basis. In case the defective item can not
be repaired a replacement FRU (form, fit, function) can be shipped instead upon mutual agreement.
The repaired FRU will be returned to Customer when the repair process has been completed.
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for ordered FRUs is 30 daysand the spares provided in the Positive List
are attached as Annexure 5.
The TAT-statistic shall be based on the following timer:
Start time: Receipt date of a defective FRU at the agreed Nokia Siemens Networks Delivery Point
Stop time: Arrival date of the functional FRU at the agreed Customer Delivery Point.
The deliverables of this service are

The repair or replacement of the defective FRU


The return transportation of a fully functional FRU to the predefined Customer Delivery Point
Nokia Siemens Networks will regularly report to Customer metrics on the performance of this
service.
The warranty period for repaired or replaced FRUs (covering parts and workmanship) will either
be six months or the residual initial Equipment warranty period, whatever is longer. The repair
warranty begins from date of arrival at the Customer Delivery Point
