What is BS EN 61907 - Communication network dependability engineering about?
BS EN 61907 is a European standard that gives guidance on the dependability engineering of communication networks. BS EN 61907 establishes a generic framework for network dependability performance, provides a process for network dependability implementation, and presents criteria and methodology for network technology designs, performance evaluation, security consideration, and quality of service measurement to achieve network dependability performance objectives.
BS EN 61907 is applicable to network equipment developers and suppliers, network integrators and providers of network service functions for planning, evaluation, and implementation of network dependability.
Who is BS EN 61907 - Communication network dependability engineering for?
BS EN 61907 on the communication network dependability engineering is useful for:
- Network service providers
- Network designers
- Network developers
- Network maintainers
- Quality assurance operators/personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61907 - Communication network dependability engineering?
Communication network dependability is highly influenced by the design and implementation of the network service functions, which aim to achieve user satisfaction in-service performance. Network evolution, service growth, and functional renewal in communications have long been challenges to the providers of network services, not just for the broad range of services now in existence, but also for those service-related activities experienced by the end-users. To sustain viable business in network services, it is prudent for the communications industry to provide the
- Needed network service functions
- Adequate network capacity and performance capability
- Security of service
- Quality of service
- Dependability of service
BS EN 61907 helps to provide important performance attributes for network equipment developers and suppliers, network integrators and providers of network service functions who are concerned with global competitive environments.
BS EN 61907 provides the criteria and methodology for network technology designs, security service functions, dependability assessment, and quality of service evaluation. This is to guide engineering and implementation processes for the realization of network dependability performance objectives.
The objective of BS EN 61907 is to achieve a cost-effective solution for realizing the network dependability performance and to assure the benefits from the network dependability of service operation.
