A method and apparatus for managing a network includes detecting occurrence of a network event associated with a new network condition including unplanned and planned macro-events associated with network elements and communication links of the network. The network event is classified as being associated with at least one of a network element failure, communications link failure, and a security breach. In response to the network event exceeding a network degradation threshold, the network event is identified as a network degradation event, and an alert is sent to a network administrator to normalize the network degradation event.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for analyzing and designing various network configuration scenarios. A modular design allows market assessment and network planning functions to be performed more efficiently and accurately using a single integrated design tool. Wired and wireless access technologies can be modeled and evaluated. In an exemplary implementation for modeling and evaluating fixed wireless access networks, the network planning tool comprises a market scenario planner, a cluster analysis tool, a hub sector planner and a network architecture planner. Generally, the market scenario planner analyzes a listing of potential customers to generate a list of target customers. The cluster analysis tool allows the network planner to identify “clusters” of demand for potential hub placement. The hub sector planner analyzes the hub assignments generated by the cluster analysis tool and allocates each building in a given hub to a particular sector. The network architecture planner processes the output of the hub sector planning tool to (i) generate a complete configuration of the network in terms of equipment requirements at each node (each building, hub and service node); and (ii) compare a set of scenarios using several financial measures.

A system for controlling the acquisition of services allows a subscriber, to add, delete, and/or modify a wide variety of services, e.g., telephone and multimedia services, from a single point of access via any interface technology. The services may be provided to the same point of access, or another point of access as requested by the subscriber. The services may be provided by a plurality of service providers. The system is technology independent, such that subscribers and service providers may access the system via any technology, e.g., wireless, wireline. Also, payments are consolidated, such that the subscriber receives a single bill for the provided services, and not individual bills from each service provider.

Method and apparatus for optimizing spare component management for a network having a plurality of nodes is described. In one example, availability parameters associated with an inventory of spare components are obtained. A plurality of management configurations are determined in response to the availability parameters. Each management configuration includes at least one warehouse node selected from the plurality of nodes in the network and a quantity of spare components in the inventory that are to be stored at the at least one warehouse node.

The invention includes a method and apparatus for establishing a call from a caller to a callee. A method includes monitoring call establishment signaling associated with a request by a caller to establish a call from a first terminal of the caller to a first terminal of the callee, determining a location of each of at least one condition in the network, and routing the call establishment signaling to at least one of a second terminal of the caller and a second terminal of the callee based on the location of each of the at least one condition in the network. A method includes monitoring call establishment signaling associated with a request to establish a call from the caller to the callee, and routing the call establishment request signaling from one of a plurality of terminals of the caller toward one of a plurality of terminals of the callee.
