1. A method for intelligent node type selection in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
generating a set of customer events for a node type of a communications node using a simulator, the set of customer events generated by simulating a customer set for the communications node over time through a discrete event simulation;
modeling an impact of the customer events for the node type of the communications node; and
identifying the node type from a plurality of node types for a telecommunications build based on the impact of the customer events for the node type.
