CORE NETWORK FIELD OPERATIONS (CNFO)
CNFO Core Purpose
In CNFO our core purpose is to Create a High Performance Customer Centric Caring
Culture Delivering Service
CNFO Function
To ensuring the maintenance, installation and improvement of the core, complex, high
speed network in Telkom, maritime, undersea cable, radio and earth station divisions in the
company”
Purpose of the Operating Model
The purpose of the operating model is to ensure the optimal deployment & management of
people resources, standardise, regroup, refocus, and realign the functions within CNFO
with a minimum disruption to operations and impact on people.
From a company perspective, we are realigned to ETOM and ITIL model
• Operating Model will ensure alignment within NCO based on the centre strategy

CNFO OPERATING MODEL
Telkom’s operations aligns with the ITIL and eTOM model
The graphic representation of an eTOM model consists of rows and columns, the intersections of which
denote specific business processes.
eTOM processes fall into three broad sections: "Strategy, Infrastructure & Product", "Operations", and
"Enterprise Management", as shown in the following diagram
CNFO operates primarily within the Resource Management & Operations layer

CNFO OPERATING MODEL
Within Core Network Field Operations there are four (4) key areas of operations namely
•
•
•
•
Terrestrial Operations
Submarine Operations
Satellite Operations
Maritime Operations
Operational Interface touch points
•
Terrestrial operations primarily interfaces the centres (ISD, CNOM, SSC) and secondary
interfaces the regional based services organisations (NIP / NFS etc)
•
Maritime Operations primarily interfaces with shipping community and from an
organisational point of view SAMSA, ICASA, DOT, and ATNS
•
Submarine Cable Operations primarily interfaces submarine cable landing parties, centre
(INOC) , Global Capacity Business including Submarine cable consortiums
•
Satellite Operations primarily interfaces with centre (INOC)
National Logistic and Support functions supports the business across the patches and is key
in terms of network reliability and field support

FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN – TERRESTRIAL OPERATIONS
Terrestrial Operations are based on a patch concept and areas are assigned to ops managers with MDF
and dispatchable staff in line with the Tiered Model i.e. Tier 0 supported by RTS
Staff within the patch are multi-skilled in terms of the technology deployed i.e. transmission, data,
microwave switching etc.
The greater portion of CNFO staff operates within the Terrestrial Operations, where the bulk of the staff are
dispatchable using Advantex while a small component is non-dispatchable with workflow either by
Webforce, Unibase or telephonically

FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN – TERRESTRIAL OPERATIONS
Terrestrial operations can be segmented into two types of field operations namely Rural / Deep Rural
and Urban operations
Urban
- High
concentration of
activities
- High impact on
NG NEC
Network growth
significant
Rural
Low concentration
of activities and
teledensity
High diversity of
legacy technologies
Deep Rural
Low volumes, long travel
distances and slower pace
of network transformation
Skills mix will significantly change in the urban areas as a result of the NG NEC roll-out where staff in
these areas of the business will become more IP centric
Staff deployed in the Rural areas will continue to focus on the legacy networks with pockets of NG NEC
areas

FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN – SUBMARINE CABLE OPERATIONS
Submarine Cable Operations deals with the maintenance and operations of the submarine cable
connecting South Africa with the rest of world via SAT3/WASC/SAFE, WACS and EASSY systems
Submarine Cable
Maintenance
Submarine Network
Operations Centres
Submarine Cable Depot
This operations deals with operators
outside the countries that are linked to
the submarine cable and the traffic
associated with it
Telkom SA performs the Submarine
Network Operation centre (SNOC)
functions for the SAT-3/WASC/SAFE
and EASSy systems.
Cable Depot operations deals with the
management of the depot operations
for the various consortiums i.e.
warehousing of subsea cable and
equipment
The cable landing stations are located
at Mtunzini in the Eastern Region,
Melkbosstrand and Yzerfontein in the
Western Region
The operations centre manages the
traffic and provides technical support
to all submarine cable landings linked
to the systems
The consortiums that use Telkom’s
cable depot facilities SAT3WASC/SAFE ; SEACOM ; ADONIS ;
LION ; EASSY; WACS
Staff are required to work shifts to ensure 24 x 7 operations at Melkbosstrand while the other landing
stations operate normal hours and perform call-out afterhours

FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN – SATELLITE OPERATIONS
Hartebeesthoek performs support for all satellite communications and related equipment to ensure
the maximum reliability and availability of services.
Standard International Satellite
Services (SISS)
The SISS staff is responsible for all non
VSAT services including maintenance of
the satellite transmission platform for the
VSAT network, power and environmental
infrastructure.

support and network analyses.
Changing dynamics in services and new technology from voice and data into a NGN IP solution
within the Satellite operations requires the need to review the current operations to understand and
align the new functions with the Operating Model.
Staff are required to work shifts to ensure 24 x 7 operations including after-hours call-out

03 - Resource Management
Ensuring alignment to centre strategy
fundamentals and e-TOM
Meet CNFO value chain targets
Defining Functions with Relevant JD’s
for Dispatchable vs. Non-dispatchable
staff
CNFO alignment to the Tiered Model
i.e. Tier 0 will perform first line
maintenance (first dispatch) supported
by RTS
Improved focus on Service Delivery
Performance and customer centricity
Ensure clear role definition and
accountabilities
Allocation of resources to the
accelerated deployment of NG NEC
Ensure correct mapping of all functions
and staff performing them into the four
Operations domains
Ensure a leadership, employee and
customer centric focus
Focus on motivating staff in changing
environment

CNFO OPERATING MODEL - Key Driver / Guiding Principles
04 - Managed Operations
05 - Urban and Rural
Operations
06 – Effectiveness and
Efficiency
All platforms visible and available to the
centre must be managed by the centre
Urban is impacted by high volumes, short
travel distances and increased network
transformation i.e. NG vs. Legacy
Optimise human capital cost (minimum
cost increase)
Platforms not available to centres (legacy
system) will be managed by CNFO
Rural is impacted by low volumes, long
travel distances and slower pace of
network transformation i.e. Legacy vs. NG
Optimal span of control
Greater specialization of RTS (center of
excellence) in the urban environment vs.
functional involvement of RTS based in
the rural environment
Ensure effectiveness of the staff through
training and compliance
The regions will be segmented into
patches (turf) / area
o Ensure a balanced work load and
distribution of work
o Staff will be multi-skilled based on the
technologies deployed in the patch to
ensure wall-to-wall concept
o Create a realistic and manageable
Span of Control in line with the
companies norms
o Span of control could differ between
rural and urban areas
