SWITCH AND ITS CONNECTIVITY

Main function of an exchange or switch is to process calls from calling subscribers and make the connection to the called subscriber. The connection can be direct or via another exchange. Total switches in HFCL:
MOHALI: WIRELINE JALANDHAR: LUCENT WIRELINE and HUAWEI LUCENT WIRELINE, HUAWEI WIRELINE and HUAWEI WIRELESS.

COMMUNICATION

Usage of a telephone on a telephone circuit is a part of a global communications network called the public telephone network (PTN). Because PTN interconnects subscribers through one or more switches, it is sometimes called public switched telephone network(PSTN).

COMMUNICATION PROCESS
INCOMING CALL

a) b) c) d) e)

Calling a GSM subscribers Forwarding call to GMSC Signal Setup to HLR 4,5 Request MSN from VLR Forward responsible MSC to GMSC f) Forward Call to current MSC g) 8,9,10 Get current status of MS h) 11,12 Paging of MS i) 13 MS answers j) 14,15,16 Security checks k) 17 Set up connection

FIBRE OPTIC COMMUNICATION

What is Optical Fiber? How the communication is possible through it? Various modes of communication through it? Bandwidth and power it requires? Where it finds its place in telecom communication? Its advantages and disadvantages over copper?

E1 carrier system
A single physical wire pair can be used to carry many simultaneous voice conversations by timedivision multiplexing. Revised and improved of the earlier American Tcarrier technology. Adopted by the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). Widely used in almost all countries outside the US, Canada, and Japan.

E1 FRAME STRUCTURE
An E1 link operates over two separate sets of wires, usually Unshielded twisted pair or using coaxial wires. A nominal 3 volt peak signal is encoded with pulses. The line data rate is 2.048 Mbit/s (full duplex) which is split into 32 timeslots, each being allocated 8 bits in turn.

DSL (DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE)

New platform to deliver broadband services to homes and small businesses. Support high-bandwidth applications, such as highspeed Internet access, telecommuting, virtual private networking, and streaming multimedia content. N/w is no longer limited to voice, text, and lowresolution graphics but also provides multimedia access to the Globe.

Communication system using DSL link

TYPES OF DSL LINKS

ADSL SDSL HDSL IDSL

DSLAM
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer Separates the voice-frequency signals from the highspeed data traffic and controls and routes traffic between the subscriber's end-user equipment (router, modem) and the network service provider's network. Provides routing or dynamic IP address assignment for the customers.

The various technologies of DSLAM in CONNECT are:

ATM DSLAM Huawei 5303 Huawei 5603 Huawei 5616 ALCATL MINI ALCATL UT MINI UT STARCOM

MDF
Main Distribution Frame (MDF or main frame) . A signal distribution frame for connecting equipment (inside plant) to cables and subscriber carrier equipment (outside plant). A termination point within the local telephone exchange.

OPTICAL NETWORK UNIT (ONU)

It is an converter that converts incoming optical signals into electrical in order to provide telecommunications services over an optical fiber network and vice-versa

Cards supported by ONU

TSS- indication of card failure. RSP-If light glows ONU is UP. DSL-for Isdn line. ASL-phone connection. ASU- a converter ,gives E1s.

TECHNOLOGIES USED SO FAR IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

 2G phones using global system for mobile communications (GSM) were first used in the early 1990s in Europe. GSM provides voice and limited data services and uses digital modulation for improved audio quality. Digital AMPS , CDMA were some of the 2G systems. FEATURES INCLUDED:
Text SMS Fax 2 Dimensional

 The GSM is a circuit switched , connection

oriented technology, where the end systems are dedicated for the entire call session. This causes inefficiency in usage of bandwidth and resources. The GSM enabled systems do not support high data rates. They are unable to handle complex data such as video. Reduce range of sound. Weaker digital signal.

2.5G or GPRS SYSTEM

An interim stage that is taken between 2G and 3G that is 2.5G Features includes: Phone calls/ Fax Voice mail Send/Receive e-mail messages Web browsing Camera phones Speed: 64-144 kb/sec Time to download a 3 min MP3 song is 6-9 min

2.75 generation EDGE

Works under modulation technique (8PSK). Benefits:Easy implementation on a GSM/GPRS network. Cost effective. Increase the capacity and triples the data rate of GPRS. Enabling new multimedia services. EDGE uses packets which are physically closer together than the GPRS system . Handles four times the traffic of standard GPRS. Circuit-switched and packet-switched traffic co-exist.

3rd generation UMTS

Features includes Phone calls/fax Global roaming Send and receive large emails High speed web of 7.2 Mbps Navigation/maps Video conferencing Live TV streaming
