<h2>Nokia EDGE dimensioning guidance material</h2>

<p>Nokia EDGE dimensioning guidelines covers BTS, Abis, BSC, Gb, and SGSN
dimensioning and some parts of pre-planning. These documents provide basic
dimensioning instructions and network optimisation is not included.</p>


<p>The dimensioning guidelines consist of both HW dimensioning and SW dimensioning.
HW dimensioning defines how many traffic type and traffic volume dependent
HW units are needed in the BTS, BSC, and SGSN to support the targeted traffic
and service performance. SW dimensioning defines the key system settings associated
with traffic dependent units. You can modify the existing configuration, once
the amount of needed traffic dependent HW and associated SW settings has been
defined. If necessary, you can place an order for additional products and
licences, based on the agreed standard configurations. </p>

<dt class="note-caption">Note</dt>
<dd>The dimensioning of other than directly traffic-dependent units should
be done with Nokia Configurator.</dd>

<p>Nokia BSS system product documentation consists of both electronic and
PDF documentation. The guidelines for dimensioning EDGE are only available
in PDF format. To view the PDF documents in the NED, click on the PDF tab,
which is located on the upper left-hand side. Select heading <em>Products,
Systems and Solutions</em> and then <em>EDGE dimensioning</em> to locate
the documents.</p>
