ABSTRACT:
A forecasting tool for planning a communications network having one or more platforms is disclosed. The forecasting tool is configured to obtain, associate, track, and correspond, capacity and demand across numerous platforms. Growth curves can be determined and associated with various platforms and platform locations. Anticipated growth events, and their corresponding growth curves, can be associated with any number of platforms. Various growth curves can be combined according to any scales, factors, or parameters, to create custom growth curves for any location or platform. Reconfigurations can be included in any analysis. The forecast tool analyzes each platform and can recommend reconfiguration if network platforms utilizations exceed any engineering limits or other thresholds.
