  1. Is Site Planning completed regarding the following:
    • Required space
    • Power supply
    • Cooling
  2. Has the estimated downtime been taken into account if migrating from an MD110/TSW to an MX-ONE system?
  3. Are the following traffic statistics collected:
    • Maximum call attempts during busy hours
    • Maximum number of users
  4. If an SLA with a network operator exists, have the following issues been addressed in the agreement?
    • Maximum Delay
    • Packet Loss
    • Availability
    • Required Bandwidth
  5. Has a planning of the system database (Cassandra) been done?
    • Consider redundancy and capacity requirements
    • Consider geographical requirements
    • System database deployment model decided

  8. Have the required bandwidth needs been analyzed, including identification of any critical links regarding:
    • WAN
    • Inter-MX-ONE Service Node traffic
  9. Is there a valid number plan in place?
