Industry 1: Regional Telecom Training Center, Mysore.

On receiving the permission from the Principal of Regional Telecom Training Center (RTTC), Mysore, We the students of final year E and C engineering decided to visit RTTC upon paying an entry fee of Rs.110/-. We left our college on 19th November 2011 at 2pm in our college cab along with the staff members Smt. S. Jyothi, Associate Professor and Sri. N. M. Mahesh Gowda, Assistant Professor of our department. We reached the Center at 3.30 pm and we are received and welcomed by Sri. A. S. Alur, SDE (L) of RTTC. He gave us a brief introduction about the training center. Since our strength is about 77, we were assigned to four groups of about 20 each. Then, he instructed us to visit the four important and different laboratories of RTTC and they are GSM lab, OFC lab, ISDN lab and C dot lab.

GSM Architecture Lab

Sri. Sudhakar, instructor there gave us a brief introduction about the GSM bands and architecture. He enlightened us on some important concepts and devices used in GSM technology. We learnt about GPROC2 which is used for controlling purpose and he explained about Gclock which is the synchronization clock in GSM system. Then we saw Generic Data Processor - compander, NVM cards which stores the data of BSCs, SS 7 network controller and we came to know that the field BSC NVM card costs about three lacks.

Optical Fiber Communication Lab

Sri. Sathish, SDE, in charge of OFC lab started explaining the history, concepts and importance of Optical Fiber Communication. He explained starting from open wire communication which can transmit only analog signals with 3, 8 or 12 channels but its maintenance is difficult. Then about the co axial cables which can support both analog and 3

digital signals. He also emphasized the need of repeaters for long channel transmission with these cables and the difficulty involved in identifying the faults. The disadvantages of wireless media are also explained. Then he enlightened the optical fiber communication advantages such as higher bandwidth, high security, etc. He showed us different types of fibers such as Multimode Step Index Fiber which is not used in field, multimode Graded Index Fiber which is used in medium distance communication, LAN / WAN and Single mode Step Index Fiber which is used for very long distance communication in fields. The standard core diameter is 8 micrometer and cladding diameter is 124 micrometer. From the lecture, we came to know that the borosilicate is the clad material. Then Sri. Sathish explained about the splicing of the optical fibers. He also demonstrated the splicing procedure with the available splicing kit at the center.

ISDN Broadcast Lab

ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network. Sri. Harsha there started explaining the evolution and concepts for ISDN. ISDN is the main access technology for multimedia communication which includes 25kbps minimum download speed, always on at the center employing two band pass filters 0 4 KHz for speech and 25 K 1.1 MHz for data. He then enlightened us on the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) which is made up of copper which can support up to 2.5 MHz bandwidth. He then explained and showed us the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) which is used for home broadband connection which separates voice and data, Office LAN switches used in large offices which can be accessible at155 Mbps.

Finally he explained and showed us some typical modems used by BSNL.

C DOT LAB
Smt. Vijaya, SDE started explaining about C DOT lab which means Center for Development Of Telecommunication. It is related to the technology which handles the distribution of resources available to the subscribers. She emphasized us on the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) which performs the coding function and circuit connection for one exchange to the other. Distribution frame consist of cards which will be assigned for the subscribers. One card can support up to eight customers. The centralized computer system in the lab holds the data of class of service to each subscriber, routing table, etc. The local exchange base modem charges and checks the healthy condition of the cards depending on the class of service provided to a subscriber. Finally she explained about the time space switching concepts.

Fig 1.5 MDF We left the RTTC premises at 6.30 pm. It was an informative, interesting and a successful visit. As students of Electronics and Communication engineering, we learnt about the practical aspects and devices involved in the current communication era. We also visited the Mysore Dussera Exhibition, enjoyed there and came back to Mandya at 9 pm. 5

Industry 2 Larson and Toubro, Mysore.

On receiving the permission from the authority of Larsen and Toubro (L and T), Mysore, We the students of final year E and C engineering decided to visit L and T. We left our college on 14th February 2012 at 1pm by bus along with the staff members Smt. B. S. Nanda, Associate Professor and Sri. N. M. Mahesh Gowda, Assistant Professor of our department. We reached the L and T campus at 2.30 pm and we are received and welcomed by Sri. Santhosh of L and T. He gave us a brief introduction about the campus. Since our strength is large, we were split into two groups equally. Then, he instructed his colleagues to take us into the electric meter manufacturing division. In the electric meter manufacturing division, the engineer started explaining about the meter manufacturing process. At first, they showed us their products such as whole current meter, single phase meter and meters of different assembly types.

Fig 2 L and T Energy meter We moved on to see the actual manufacturing process involved in electric meter manufacturing. First they will treat PCAs at different temperatures. At 23oC for half an hour, then at 0oC for one hour, then at 70oC for half an hour and cooled about one hour, then at 0oC for half an hour, then at 70oC, 0oC and finally at 23oC. The treated PCAs are removed and then given for assembly. After assembling, the assembled meters are tested for proper assembly and then finally they put those meters for burning test. Burning test is carried out at 50oC for 24 hours in a closed and clean room which is free from environmental dusts.

The meters which pass the burning test are then functionally tested with the help of reference meters. Calibrations for those meters are carried out at the precision rates of 1, 0.5 or 0.2 as required by the customers. The meter which is properly calibrated according to the standards of Indian Standard Institute (ISI) will be assigned with a Unique Serial Number. The failed meters are sent for debugging. The final inspection of the numbered meters is carried out and then they were sent to the packing section. Packing is done manually with the accuracy report of the meter and a manual. There greater care is taken for packaging so that the meters are prevented from any handling damages. The meters should be handled carefully. After the visit, they treated us with snacks and tea. We left the L and T campus at 5.00 pm. It was an informative, interesting and a successful visit. As students of Electronics, we learnt about the practical aspects, devices and procedure involved in the energy meter manufacturing. We also visited the back waters of KRS dam and Sri Venugopalaswmy Temple, enjoyed there and came back to Mandya at 8pm.
