Mission, Vision & Goal

Mission Without the unwavering focus on mission and vision its much too easy to get mired in the day to day routine which businesses are chock full of. Without mission and vision, businesses are boring. For MISSION think: managing with greatness and untamed strength, improving everything daily. MISSION will feed into the confidence of your organization by feeding this ever-present self-talk: We can do this, and we are the ones ordained to do this, for we are the best at it. Mission will churn out revolutionary ideas about the mundane, banishing mediocrity. "Nepal Telecom as a progressive, customer spirited and consumer responsive Entity is committed to provide nation-wide reliable telecommunication service to serve as an impetus to the social, political and economic development of the Country". Vision For VISION think: leading with inspiration and courage, obsessed with future possibility, in a love affair with change. VISION creates that momentum of growing anticipation about the future, where change is embraced as a step closer to that very compelling picture of whats coming next. The excitement about the future trumps any apprehension about the uncertain change is recognized as the catalytic converter it is. "Vision of Nepal Telecom is to remain a dominant player in telecommunication sector in the Country while also extending reliable and cost effective services to all" Goal Goals and objectives are essential ("If you don't know where you are going, you could wind up anywhere!"), but vision, values, role definitions, and systems of tracking results all serve as the "container" for effective growth and development, and must be first put in place. "Goal of Nepal Telecom is to provide cost effective telecommunication services to every nook and corner of country"

PROFILE OF THE DEPARTMENT

ACCESS NETWORK PLANNING DEPARTMENT SITUATED CHHAUNI, KATHMANDU ESTABLISHED 1991 STATED AS A SMALL UNIT AS PLANNING TEAM ITS HEAD OFFICE IS AT SINGHA DARBAR

ACCESS NETWORK PLANNING DEPARTMENT LAYOUT

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT:

MEASURING WHEEL COMPUTERS WHITE SHEETS FOR DRAWING PRINTERS AND PHOTOCOPY CABLE CAD ( SOFTWARE'S) LADDERS OTHER BASIC STATIONARY MATERIALS

OPERATION:
I have joined Nepal telecom central office at chhauni on 12th October 2011. Onward that I was working under access network planning department which is one of the major department which works for PSTN (landline services) among four of them, its main aim is to distribute lines as per consumer demands. Supply should matches demand is object of this department. First a pal as per the information received from head office located at singha Darbar, it is received by the manager and is forwarded to concern section. Then we discuss about the location and sites detail information. As it is a team work certain team is assigned for survey about the location and understand its situation whether it is actually required or the fake information. Than as per the information received data from the measurement and instrument department is collected then as per that rough layout is plotted indicating poles and their locations. Sometimes required number of connection may be less but due to some reasons or political pressure it's not necessary to go there and distribute lines. Distribution box consists about 500; 1000 connection in one package so depending upon the area and location these boxes is installed. Firstly underground from the main point then Arial roots to the customer.
18

This is the secondary thing before this our job is to roughly plot the map. Then move to the computer software mane cable CAD. Free hand drawing is plotted in computer if manager says ok the the final drawing is plotted using proper dimension, tools and equipments, position of the poles and Distribution boxes installation. This department basically works for GIS; Plan tracking, estimation and costing concerned with PSTN LINE. Depending upon the location one may have to visit Tarai region as well as hilly areas almost all the control is from our central office. PSTN Services In the field of Telecommunications, Nepal Telecom has been the trusted partner of the people of Nepal since 2032. In order to make life of a Nepali easier, Nepal Telecom makes continuous effort to introduce the latest technology of communications. As always, Nepal Telecom is devoted towards our customer satisfaction and national development with all communicational prospect and technologies. Always striving to bring in the latest technologies and services to its users. Engaged in reaching communication facilities to the every corner of the country Guided more by a national cause of serving people than earning profit. Below are the basic telephone services provided by Nepal Telecom. PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) Local Calls Domestic Telex Local Leased Lines National Trunk Calls International Trunk Calls Operator-Assisted Int'l Telephone Internet Service Packet Switching Data Communication Activating/ Deactivating Phone Locks

ADVANTAGES OF PSTN: The public switch telephone network (PSTN) is the network of devices that make up the world's circuit switched phone service. The PSTN consists of fiber optic cables, telephone lines, cellular networks, communication satellites and microwave transmitters, which are all connected by switches located in centers around the world. VOIP telephony is an internet communications technology that provides a new way to make phone calls and is a challenge to the established PSTN. The PSTN does still possess some advantages. Established Technology The PSTN began in 1876 with the formation of American Bell, which later became AT&T. The technology used by the PSTN in the beginning changed by leaps and bounds and provides a high quality, automated switching communications network. The technology used today by the PSTN has proven effective in providing clear call quality for consumers over many years. Reliability The PSTN became more reliable throughout its existence. The PSTN is noted as an extremely reliable form of voice communication used by millions of people around the world every day. As the PSTN network grew, and underwater telecommunications cables, satellite links and the use fiber optics became more pervasive, the reliability of the PSTN increased and provided consumers with the ability to place calls around the world that remain consistently clear and reliable.

20

Circuit Switched The PSTN uses circuit switched technology that sets up a dedicated circuit between two callers exclusively established for that call. The circuit is used only for voice traffic between the two calling parties, as opposed to VOIP telephony, which utilizes the same network bandwidth for VOIP calls, data transfer, video transmissions and Internet traffic. The circuit switch technology used by the PSTN provides consistent high quality voice calls, while VOIP callers can experience problems with voice delay, robotic voice, one way audio and overall poor voice quality. No Extra Equipment To be hooked up to the PSTN users only need a line connected to their home from the PSTN. Most homes already have this connection. The user plugs a phone into their telephone jack. VOIP telephony users need to rent or purchase an additional VOIP modem to connect their phone to make and receive calls. No Extra Services The PSTN is provided to consumers by the local phone company as residential or business telephone service. Most phone users already have this service. VOIP telephony requires the purchase of VOIP service from the local cable company, or requires a high-speed Internet connection to utilize VOIP services provided by numerous Internet providers. Users of the PSTN don't need Internet service connections to place telephone calls.

What is GIS?
A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework.

Cable CAD software:

Cable CAD brings computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA) to the cable, wire rope and flexible pipe industries. Running under Microsoft Windows, Cable CAD is specialized design software for laying out cable geometry and performing structural analysis to assess cable performance. It is difficult to model complex helical structures using general purpose CAD and FEA software. Cable CAD simplifies this task by building models using standard cable components and terminology. Finite element mesh generation is automatic. Models of cable, wire rope and flexible pipe can be created and analyzed quickly and easily. The speed and versatility of this unique cable design software is sure to reduce your design time and lower your design costs.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
As we all work in a group as a team for performing certain tasks it helps in sharing ideas and knowledge as well as feeling of help and cooperation between team members. One gets to know about different cultures and gets chance to different in working in group and as an individual. Concerned with the technology as it is the oldest mean of communication has its one identity and value. People do relies in the technology which is reliable rather than adopting new on it depends upon the nature and types of services people wants to use. Noise interference is less as compared to other devices as it is a landline service.

WEAKNESS
Concerning with the management point of view decision given by the top management is final and other have to follow them. Lack of understanding between peers and supervisor. as it is planning job one have to go to the remote areas as well as Terai belts some of the staff were willing to go but other doesnt wants to go but their name is selected for the job. This is the difficult faced by staff. Regarding the task we are assigned for maintenance problem for the PSTN cable is difficulty and in places where fault arises are replaced by optical fiber cables as the cost of copper cable is high and is not easily available.
25

OPPORTUNITY
One need to go to field and have to survey whether the requirement is as per the specification or not. Got to face real life problem and difficult and generate ideas how to tackle them. Its a challenging task to do so drawing and measurement task also helps in improving technical skills. Working in group also boosts up moral of employee.

THREATS There is a threat with the competitor as new technology are being developed and experimented daily. As being the old technology peoples likes to experiment with the newer ones which may benefit them. Other threat is the political instability due to the unstable government flow of work is not completed as per the schedule. Threats from the IP based technology, use of latest ones.

26

CONCLUSION:
I am very glad to work under this department as it is concerned with paper work as well as field work. It gives ideas about how to be in team and teaches you to work as one unit, understand each feeling and nature of help and cooperation. On the other hand teaches you about paper work computer related drawing and measurements, estimating and costing which will be useful for your entire life in any field. Its main objective is to distribute landline services to consumer home.
