Welcome to NPAT
NPAT (Network Planning & Analysis Tools) is WANDL's solution for ATM, Frame Relay, TDM, Voice, and Optical Transport networks providing cross-vendor support for all stages of network planning, design, and analysis.
NPAT - Complete Solution for all Stages of Network Design & Analysis
Why NPAT?
- Improved Network Performance - NPAT considers diversity issues in the design and simulation process so that your network will survive node or private line failures, or any combination of outages. It also detects potential network bottlenecks, minimizes traffic flow delays and so on.
- Reduced Network Costs - Implementing effective designs can result in lower
hardware and maintenance costs, both in the initial deployment of the network and in subsequent upgrades. Minimizing monthly transmission line costs results in further reductions. NPAT has proven itself repeatedly by creating lower cost designs as compared to those aided by other tools.
- Increased Productivity - With the state-of-the-art NPAT design engine and
heuristics, tasks such as accommodating traffic growth and optimizing the backbone topology are now practically automated.
- Demand Forecasting - NPAT equips planners with accurate information
regarding network capacity. Questions such as "How much traffic can be carried by the network?" or "What effect will traffic growth have on the current network?" can be answered with a few keystrokes.
Data Extraction and Conversion
WANDL can assist you with customizable Data Extraction or Data Conversion utilities to help you extract the data from your network into a format ready for use by the NPAT system. Major hardware vendor devices are supported. Customizable solutions are available upon request.
