Overview

The Nokia WaveSuite Planner (WS-P) is a software platform that provides network operators and network designers with a comprehensive and user-friendly tool kit with which to design, plan, engineer, optimize, and deploy a WDM network. Architected to be client/server based, it supports advanced analytic/design functions for planners to share and easily create WDM network designs based on the Nokia optical portfolio. WS-P enables the network operator/designer to:

• Plan their network evolution and design their network equipment
• Create a connection topology
• Calculate optical transmission parameters
• Compute traffic flow routes
• Analyse network protection and restoration mechanisms

WS-P is used together with the WaveSuite NOC (WS-NOC) management system to provide the initial commission and turn-up of the WDM network, allowing for incremental network growth, as well as alignment between design versus deployment through network synchronization.
