What is telecom network planning?

Telecom Network Planning is the process of designing and optimizing telecommunications networks to ensure efficient, reliable, and cost-effective delivery of voice, data, and multimedia services. This involves forecasting demand, selecting appropriate technologies, determining network topology, and planning capacity to meet both current and future requirements. Network planners analyze traffic patterns, coverage needs, and technological advancements to create strategic plans that support business goals and customer expectations. The process includes both short-term operational planning and long-term infrastructure development.
