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.
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

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.
