What is Telecom ?
Telecommunication is the assisted

transmission of signals over a distance
for the purpose of communication.
It is the technology of transferring

information over a distance.
Information
1. Information can be of several type:

 Audio – Telephone
 Text - Telegraph , email, SMS
 Pictures – Picture attachments
 Video – Clipping over internet
 Data – ATM to bank.
2. The same telecom technology/service cannot

communicate all the types of information.
Benefits of Telecom
New industries are possible like BPO.

New facilities like
 tele-medicine,
 tele-education,
 e-governance,
 e-commerce
Leads to economic growth.
Telecom scenario
Growing subscriber base.
New services and technologies.
More focus on wireless & internet.
Government wants more development
in rural areas.
Decreasing Prices.
Increasing demand for bandwidth.
Important Network elements in
Telecom
Customer premises equipment.
Access Network
Transmission
Switching
Computerization
Trends in Telecommunications
Industry

 Multiple types of communications on

the same circuits
Trends in Telecommunications (continued)
Technology (continued)
Fiber-optic lines & cellular, CDMA, satellite

& other wireless technologies
 Faster transmission speeds
(continued)
Business applications
Dramatic increase in the number of
feasible telecommunication
applications. This needs;
 cut costs,
 reduce lead times,
 shorten response times,
 support e-commerce,
(continued)
 Improve collaboration,
 Share resources,
 Lock in customers & suppliers,
 Develop new products & services

Telecommunications Network
Alternatives
A Telecommunications Network
Model
Model (continued)
Consists of five basic components
Terminals
 Any input/output device that uses
telecommunication networks to
transmit or receive data
Telecommunication processors
 Support data transmission and
reception between terminals and

computers
Model (continued)
Telecommunications channels
 The medium over which data are
transmitted and received
Computers
 Interconnected by telecommunications
networks
Telecommunications control software
 Control telecommunications activities
& manage the functions of
telecommunications networks
Types of Telecommunications
Networks
Wide Area Networks (WAN)
 Cover a large geographic area.
Local Area Networks (LAN)

 Connect computers & other information
processing devices within a limited
physical area.
 Connected via ordinary telephone
wiring, coaxial cable, or wireless radio &
infrared systems
Types of Telecommunications
Networks (continued)
Virtual Private Networks

A secure network that uses the Internet as its
main backbone network, but relies on fire
walls and other security features
Telecommunications Software
Provides a variety of communications

support services including connecting &
disconnecting communications links &
establishing communications parameters
such as transmission speed, mode, and
direction.
Telecommunications Software

Network Management Part
 Traffic management
 Security
 Network monitoring
 Capacity planning
The need for open management
 Need to provide telecommunication services

globally in a cost-effective manner
 Multi-vendor, multi-provider environment
 Management systems are required for operation,
The need for open management
 Administration, maintenance and provisioning

(oam&p)
 Activities - management applications need to

communicate openly within a domain and across
domains
 Need for management frameworks and

standards
What is the Telecommunications
Management Network (TMN)
This is achieved through an agreed
architecture with standardised
protocols and interfaces
What is the Telecommunications
Management Network (TMN)
Its purpose is to support operators in

managing:
 Telecommunications networks and services
 It provides a framework for inter-operability,

i.e. Interconnection of operations systems and
telecommunications equipment
TMN field of application
 Synchronous transmission networks (SDH)
 Broadband multi-service networks (PON/ATM)
 Public switched telephone networks
 Intelligent networks
 Mobile networks etc.
Management functional areas
Types of management activity have been

categorised into five generic functional areas:-
 Fault management
 Configuration management
 Accounting management
 Performance management
 Security management also known as
FCAPS
FAULT MANAGEMENT
 Receive reports about malfunctions
(alarms). - Prioritise, condense, filter
 Alarm correlation
 Testing
 Fault identification and diagnosis.
 Maintenance dispatch - periodic testing /

repair activities
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
 Maintain the configuration state of a network

and the relationships between components.
 Identify status and location of equipment

(inventory).
 Initialise, configure and shut down equipment.

Maintain view of both physical and logical
network topology.
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
 Support Semi-Permanent Connections e.g.

Permanent virtual circuits (pvcs).
 Relationship with planning, performance and

fault management.
ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT
 Collect service usage information (“usage
metering”).
 Associate it with tariffing schemes to

produce charging and billing information.
 Monitor user access privileges.
 Provide analysis of usage for sales, new

tariffing policies, etc.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
 Collect traffic information
 Use it for capacity planning and provide traffic
flow predictions (per hour, day, month).

 Monitor the level of resource utilisation and
response times.
 Identify bottlenecks and congestion, try to
 Recover through soft re-configuration.

Relationship with configuration management.
 Monitor quality of service for services sold on
service level agreements.
SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Protect access to network, system, service and

management resources.
 Authentication: validate legitimate users and
applications.
 Confidentiality: encrypt confidential
information while in transit.

 Integrity: prevent modification of information
while in transit.
 Access control: provide different levels of
access to different users / applications.
Telecom Services
They are classified in three main

categories:
1. Basic Services : Voice, FAX (both G-3
& G4)
2. Supplementary Services: It includes
services like Call Waiting/Call
Forwarding (conditional &
Unconditional) ,CLIP, DTMF,CUG or
CENTREX,ABB Dialing etc.
3. Value Added Services : Internet, IN
Services, Multimedia content , LBS ,
Fleet Tracking etc.
Telecom Services
 Landline Services.
 Mobile Services.
 Internet Services.
 Intelligent Services
 Data Communication Services.
 Satellite Services
 Other Services
