aperture terminal) WIMAX,FTTHand VOIP (voice over
Internet protocol).
 Within this short span of time, it has also become one of the
largest public sector companies in India.
WORKING OF BASIC TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK
This section includes brief introduction of how a call is processed when we
dial a call from basic telephone to another basic telephone or from basic to
mobile or vice versa.

CALL SETUP:

When a subscriber calls to another subscriber first its request goes to the
nearest switching centre that is PSTN (Public Switching Telecommunication
Network). Then it processes the caller and subscriber’s number if it exists in
the same BSC (Base Station Controller) then call setup is completed.
If subscriber is not in the same BSC then call transfer to MSC (Mobile
Switching Centre) then it transfers the call to prior BSC then call setup is
completed.
If Caller calls to a mobile subscriber then call transfer is done by MTSO(Mobile
Telephone Switching Office)
now call transfer is done on BTS (Base Transceiver Station) and call setup is
completed.
 Parts of a Telecommunication network

The main parts of a Telecommunication network are:

1. Telephone Exchange
2. Main Distribution Frame (MDF)
3. Switch Room
 TELEPHONE EXCHANGE

Equipment which effects

interconnection of telephones is
known as switching equipment.
The switching centre, which houses
the terminating and switching
equipment is called telephone
exchange.
A telephone exchange is a
telecommunication system used in
the public switched telephone
network or in large enterprises. An
exchange consists of electronic
components that interconnect
(switch) telephone subscriber lines
or virtual circuits of digital systems
to establish telephone calls between
subscribers
 About the exchange
All telephone subscribers are served by automatic
exchanges.
Today’s automatic exchanges use a pair of computers.
One running the program that provides services.
Second, monitoring the operation of the first, ready to
take over in a few seconds in the event of equipment
failure.
Various exchanges present in BSNL are:
1. C-DOT
2. OCB(ORGANE DE COMMANDE B2 VERSION)
3. EWSD
OCB(ORGANE DE COMMANDE B2 VERSION)
MAIN DISTRIBUTION FRAME(MDF)
M.D.F. is a media between switching network and subscriber’s line. It is a termination point
within the local telephone exchange where exchange equipment and terminations of local
loops are connected by jumper wires.

FUNCTIONS OF MDF:

All cable copper wires supplying services through user telephone lines are terminated and
distributed through MDF.
The most common kind of large MDF is a long steel rack accessible from both sides. Each
jumper is a twisted wire.
It consists of local connection and broadband connection frames for the main Exchange
area.
The MDF usually holds central office protective devices including heat coils and functions
as a test point between a line and the office.
It provides testing of calls.
It checks whether fault is indoor or external.
All lines terminate individually
Structure Of MDF
 ORGANIZATION OF MDF
• Vertical side
• Horizontal side

Vertical side
Rack:- On the rack, the tags are situated. One rack is having eight tags.
The counting is done from up (0) to down (7).
Tags:- Each rack consists of eight tags
1 tag = 4 core
1 core = 4 bunch
1 bunch = 2 line
N.E:-The word NE stands for the ‘NUMBER OF EQUIPMENT’. It is used
for testing number.
Wedge:- Wedge is used as a device for checking the ring. Wedge is
placed in jack strips, which is connected to telephone for checking.
Switch Room
Switch room consists of
BM(Benjamin Moore) and
CM cabinets mounted in
standard switch.

These cabinets are

fastened to a switch Room
and interconnected by
cables
 GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE (GPRS)

General packet radio service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data service available to users of
the 2G cellular communication systems, global system for mobile communications (GSM), as well
as in the 3G systems. In 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates of 56-114 kbps
GPRS extends the GSM circuit switched data capabilities and makes the following services
possible:

1. “ Always on” Internet access.

2.Multimedia messaging service (MMS).
3.Push to talk over cellular (PoC/PTT).
4. Point to Point (P2P) service: inter-networking with the internet (IP).
5. Increase message sending speed 30 messages per minute approximately.
BSNL Broadband Service
Broadband refers to a connection that has capacity to transmit large amount of data at
high speed. Presently a connection having download speeds of 256 kbps or more is
classified as broadband. When connected to the Internet broadband connection allows
surfing or downloading much faster than a dial-up or any other narrowband
connections. BSNL offers 2 Mbps minimum download speed for its Broadband
connections.

Requirement for providing Broad Band connection

1.Personal Computer
2.ADSL Modem
3. Land Line Connection
4. Splitter for separating telephone from Personal computer
5. High speed Internet Access: This is the always-on Internet access service with speed
ranging from 256 kbps to 8 Mbps.
 FIBER OPTICS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

FIBER OPTICS: The use and demand for optical fiber has grown tremendously and
optical-fiber applications are numerous. Telecommunication applications are
widespread, ranging from global networks to desktop computers. These involve the
transmission of voice, data, or video over distances of less than a meter to hundreds of
kilometers, using one of a few standard fiber designs in one of several cable designs.

ADVANTAGES OF FIBRE OPTICS :

Fiber Optics has the following advantages :
•SPEED: Fiber optic networks operate at high speeds - up into the gigabits
•BANDWIDTH: large carrying capacity
•DISTANCE: Signals can be transmitted further without needing to be "refreshed" or
strengthened.
•RESISTANCE: Greater resistance to electromagnetic noise such as radios, motors or
other nearby cables.
• MAINTENANCE: Fiber optic cables costs much less to maintain.
 OPTICAL FIBER CABLE(OFC)

Optical Fiber is new medium, in which information (voice, Data or Video) is

transmitted on the principle of Total Internal Reflection through a glass or plastic fiber,
in the form of light.
In the following sequence.
1.Information is encoded into Electrical Signals.
2.Electrical Signals are converted into light Signals.
3.Light Travels down the Fiber.
4.A Detector Changes the Light Signals into Electrical Signals.
5.Electrical Signals are decoded into Information.
In wireless communication every region is divided into cells.
Cell size is constant for whole system. GSM is a form of
multiplexing, which divides the available bandwidth among
the different channels. Most of the times the multiplexing
used is either TDM (Time division multiplexing) or FDM
(Frequency Division Multiplexing). SM differs from its
predecessor technologies in that both signaling and speech
channels are digital, and thus GSM is considered a second
generation (2G) mobile phone system.
•2G GSM networks operate in the 900 MHz or
1800 MHz bands
•GSM-900 uses 890–915 MHz to send information
from the mobile station to the base station (uplink)
• 935–960 MHz for the other direction (downlink),
•providing 125 RF channels (channel numbers 0
to 124) spaced at 200 kHz. Duplex spacing of 45
MHz is used.
 CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (CDMA)

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) consistently provides better capacity

for voice and data communications that other commercial mobile technologies,
allowing more subscribers to connect at any given time, and it is the common
platform on which 3G technologies are built.
CDMA is a spread spectrum technology, allowing many users to occupythe
same time and frequency allocations in a given band/space

ADVANTAGES OF CDMA:

Increased cellular communications security

Simultaneous conversations
Low power requirements and little cell-to-cell coordination needed by
operators.
Extended reach-beneficial to rural users situated far from cells.
