INDUSTRY
Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband, is a high data
rate Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access using a 56k
modem.
Dial-up modems are limited to a bit rate of less than 56 kbit/s (kilobits per
second) and require the full use of a telephone line—whereas broadband
technologies supply more than double this rate and generally without
disrupting telephone use.

Broadband is often called "high-speed" access to the Internet, because it
usually has a high rate of data transmission. In general, any connection to
the customer of 256 kbit/s (0.256 Mbit/s) or greater is more concisely
considered broadband Internet access. The International
Telecommunication Union Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendation
I.113 has defined broadband as a transmission capacity that is faster than
primary rate ISDN, at 1.5 to 2 Mbit/s. The FCC definition of broadband is 768
kbit/s (0.8 Mbit/s). The Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) has defined broadband as 256 kbit/s in at least one
direction and this bit rate is the most common baseline that is marketed as
"broadband" around the world. There is no specific bitrate defined by the
industry, however, and "broadband" can mean lower-bitrate transmission
methods. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use this to their advantage
in marketing lower-bitrate connections as broadband. In practice, the
advertised bandwidth is not always reliably available to the customer; ISPs
often allow a greater number of subscribers than their backbone connection
or neighborhood access network can handle, under the assumption that
most users will not be using their full connection capacity very frequently.
This aggregation strategy works more often than not, so users can typically
burst to their full bandwidth most of the time; however, peer-to-peer (P2P)
file sharing systems, often requiring extended durations of high bandwidth
usage, stress these assumptions, and can cause major problems for ISPs who
have excessively overbooked their capacity. For more on this topic, see
traffic shaping. As takeup for these introductory products increases, telcos
are starting to offer higher bit rate services. For existing connections, this
most of the time simply involves reconfiguring the existing equipment at
each end of the connection.
As the bandwidth delivered to end users increases, the market expects that
video on demand services streamed over the Internet will become more
popular, though at the present time such services generally require
specialized networks. The data rates on most broadband services still do not
suffice to provide good quality video, as MPEG-2 video requires about 6
Mbit/s for good results. Adequate video for some purposes becomes possible
at lower data rates, with rates of 768 kbit/s and 384 kbit/s used for some
video conferencing applications, and rates as low as 100 kbit/s used for
videophones using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. The MPEG-4 format delivers high-
quality video at 2 Mbit/s, at the low end of cable modem and ADSL
performance.

terabyte of data out each day in 2001 to 500 gigabytes of data inbound and
over 4 terabytes out each day in 2002.
Technology
The standard broadband technologies in most areas are DSL and cable
modems. Newer technologies in use include VDSL and pushing optical fiber
connections closer to the subscriber in both telephone and cable plants.
Fiber-optic communication, while only recently being used in fiber to the
premises and fiber to the curb schemes, has played a crucial role in enabling
Broadband Internet access by making transmission of information over larger
distances much more cost-effective than copper wire technology. In a few
areas not served by cable or ADSL, community organizations have begun to
install Wi-Fi networks, and in some cities and towns local governments are
installing municipal Wi-Fi networks. As of 2006, broadband mobile Internet
access has become available at the consumer level in some countries, using
the HSDPA and EV-DO technologies. The newest technology being deployed
for mobile and stationary broadband access is WiMAX.
Multilinking Modems
Roughly double the dial-up rate can be achieved with multilinking
technology. What is required are two modems, two phone lines, two dial-up
accounts, and ISP support for multilinking, or special software at the user
end. This inverse multiplexing option was popular with some high-end users
before ISDN, DSL and other technologies became available.
Diamond and other vendors had created dual phone line modems with
bonding capability. The data rate of dual line modems is faster than 90
kbit/s. The Internet and phone charge will be twice the ordinary dial-up
charge.
Load balancing takes two Internet connections and feeds them into your
network as one double data rate, more resilient Internet connection. By
choosing two independent Internet providers the load balancing hardware
will automatically use the line with least load which means should one line
fail, the second one automatically takes up the slack.
ISDN
Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) is one of the oldest broadband
digital access methods for consumers and businesses to connect to the
4
Internet. It is a telephone data service standard. Its use in the United States
peaked in the late 1990s prior to the availability of DSL and cable modem
technologies. Broadband service is usually compared to ISDN-BRI because
this was the standard broadband access technology that formed a baseline
for the challenges faced by the early broadband providers. These providers
sought to compete against ISDN by offering faster and cheaper services to
consumers.
A basic rate ISDN line (known as ISDN-BRI) is an ISDN line with 2 data
"bearer" channels (DS0 - 64 kbit/s each). Using ISDN terminal adapters
(erroneously called modems), it is possible to bond together 2 or more
separate ISDN-BRI lines to reach bandwidths of 256 kbit/s or more. The ISDN
channel bonding technology has been used for video conference applications
and broadband data transmission.
Primary rate ISDN, known as ISDN-PRI, is an ISDN line with 23 DS0 channels
and total bandwidth of 1,544 kbit/s (US standard). ISDN E1 (European
standard) line is an ISDN lines with 30 DS0 channels and total bandwidth of
2,048 kbit/s. Because ISDN is a telephone-based product, a lot of the
terminology and physical aspects of the line are shared by the ISDN-PRI used
for voice services. An ISDN line can therefore be "provisioned" for voice or
data and many different options, depending on the equipment being used at
any particular installation, and depending on the offerings of the telephone
company's central office switch. Most ISDN-PRI's are used for telephone
voice communication using large PBX systems, rather than for data. One
obvious exception is that ISPs usually have ISDN-PRI's for handling ISDN data
and modem calls.
It is mainly of historical interest that many of the earlier ISDN data lines used
56 kbit/s rather than 64 kbit/s "B" channels of data. This caused ISDN-BRI to
be offered at both 128 kbit/s and 112 kbit/s rates, depending on the central
office's switching equipment.
Advantages:
• Constant data rate at 64 kbit/s for each DS0 channel.
• Two way broadband symmetric data transmission, unlike ADSL.
• Call setup is very quick.
• Low latency
• ISDN Voice clarity is unmatched by other phone services.
• Caller ID is almost always available for no additional fee.
• Maximum distance from the central office is much greater than it is for
DSL.
5
• When using ISDN-BRI, there is the possibility of using the low-
bandwidth 16 kbit/s "D" channel for packet data and for always on
capabilities.
• One of the data channels can be used for phone conversation without
disturbing the data transmission through the other data channel. When
a phone call is ended, the bearer channel can immediately dial and re-
connect itself to the data call
Disadvantages:
• ISDN offerings are dwindling in the marketplace due to the widespread
use of faster and cheaper alternatives.
• ISDN routers, terminal adapters ("modems"), and telephones are more
expensive than ordinary POTS equipment, like dial-up modems.
• ISDN provisioning can be complicated due to the great number of
options available.
• ISDN users must dial in to a provider that offers ISDN Internet service,
which means that the call could be disconnected.
• ISDN is billed as a phone line, to which is added the bill for Internet
ISDN access.
• "Always on" data connections are not available in all locations.
• Some telephone companies charge unusual fees for ISDN, including
call setup fees, per minute fees, and higher rates than normal for other
services.
T-1/DS-1
These are highly-regulated services traditionally intended for businesses,
that are managed through Public Service Commissions (PSCs) in each state,
must be fully defined in PSC tariff documents, and have management rules
dating back to the early 1980s which still refer to teletypes as potential
connection devices. As such, T-1 services have very strict and rigid service
requirements which drive up the provider's maintenance costs and may
require them to have a technician on standby 24 hours a day to repair the
line if it malfunctions. (In comparison, ISDN and DSL are not regulated by the
PSCs at all.) Due to the expensive and regulated nature of T-1 lines, they are
normally installed under the provisions of a written agreement, the contract
term being typically one to three years. However, there are usually few
restrictions to an end-user's use of a T-1, uptime and bandwidth data rates
may be guaranteed, quality of service may be supported, and blocks of static
IP addresses are commonly included.
6
Since a T-1 was originally conceived for voice transmission, and voice T-1's
are still widely used in businesses, it can be confusing to the uninitiated
subscriber. It is often best to refer to the type of T-1 being considered, using
the appropriate "data" or "voice" prefix to differentiate between the two. A
voice T-1 would terminate at a phone company's central office (CO) for
connection to the PSTN; a data T-1 terminates at a point of presence (POP) or
data center. The T-1 line which is between a customer's premises and the
POP or CO is called the local loop. The owner of the local loop need not be
the owner of the network at the POP where your T-1 connects to the Internet,
and so a T-1 subscriber may have contracts with these two organizations
separately.
The nomenclature for a T-1 varies widely, cited in some circles a DS-1, a
T1.5, a T1, or a DS1. Some of these try to distinguish amongst the different
aspects of the line, considering the data standard a DS-1, and the physical
structure of the trunk line a T-1 or T-1.5. They are also called leased lines,
but that terminology is usually for data rates under 1.5 Mbit/s. At times, a T-1
can be included in the term "leased line" or excluded from it. Whatever it is
called, it is inherently related to other broadband access methods, which
include T-3, SONET OC-3, and other T-carrier and Optical Carriers.
Additionally, a T-1 might be aggregated with more than one T-1, producing
an nxT-1, such as 4xT-1 which has exactly 4 times the bandwidth of a T-1.
T-1 and fractional T-1 data lines are symmetric, meaning that their upload
and download data rates are the same.
7
Wired Ethernet
Where available, this method of broadband connection to the Internet would
indicate that Internet access is very fast. However, just because Ethernet is
offered doesn't mean that the full 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s connection can be
utilized for direct Internet access. In a college dormitory, for example, the
100 Mbit/s Ethernet access might be fully available to on-campus networks,
but Internet access bandwidths might be closer to 4xT-1 data rate (6 Mbit/s).
If you are sharing a broadband connection with others in a building, the
access bandwidth of the leased line into the building would of course govern
the end-user's data rate.
Rural broadband
One of the great challenges of broadband is to provide service to potential
customers in areas of low population density, such as to farmers, ranchers,
and small towns. In cities where the population density is high, it is easy for a
service provider to recover equipment costs, but each rural customer may
require expensive equipment to get connected.
Several rural broadband solutions exist, though each has its own pitfalls and
limitations. Some choices are better than others, but are dependent on how
proactive the local phone company is about upgrading their rural technology.
8
Satellite Internet
Satellites in geostationary orbits are able to relay broadband data from the
satellite company to each customer. Satellite Internet is usually among the
most expensive ways of gaining broadband Internet access, but in rural
areas it may be the only choice other than cellular broadband. However,
costs have been coming down in recent years to the point that it is becoming
more competitive with other broadband options.
Broadband satellite Internet also has a high latency problem is due to the
signal having to travel to an altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above sea
level (from the equator) out into space to a satellite in geostationary orbit
and back to Earth again. The signal delay can be as much as 500
milliseconds to 900 milliseconds, which makes this service unsuitable for
applications requiring real-time user input such as certain multiplayer
Internet games and first-person shooters played over the connection.
Despite this, it is still possible for many games to be played, but the scope is
limited to real-time strategy or turn-based games. The functionality of live
interactive access to a distant computer can also be subject to the problems
caused by high latency. These problems are more than tolerable for just
basic email access and web browsing and in most cases are barely
noticeable.
Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites however do
not have such great delays. The current LEO constellations of Global star and
Iridium satellites have delays of less than 40 ms round trip, but their
throughput is less than broadband at 64 kbps per channel. The Global star
constellation orbits 1,420 km above the earth and Iridium orbits at 670 km
altitude. The proposed O3b Networks MEO constellation scheduled for
9
deployment in 2010 would orbit at 8,062 km, with RTT latency of
approximately 125 ms. The proposed new network is also designed for much
higher throughput with links well in excess of 1 Gbps (Giga bits per second).
Most satellite Internet providers also have a FAP (Fair Access Policy). Perhaps
one of the largest disadvantages of satellite Internet, these FAPs usually
throttle a user's throughput to dial-up data rates after a certain "invisible
wall" is hit (usually around 200 MB a day). This FAP usually lasts for 24 hours
after the wall is hit, and a user's throughput is restored to whatever tier they
paid for. This makes bandwidth-intensive activities nearly impossible to
complete in a reasonable amount of time (examples include P2P and
newsgroup binary downloading).
Advantages
• True global broadband Internet access availability
• Mobile connection to the Internet (with some providers)
Disadvantages
• High latency compared to other broadband services, especially 2-way
satellite service
• Unreliable: drop-outs are common during travel, inclement weather,
and during sunspot activity
• The narrow-beam highly directional antenna must be accurately
pointed to the satellite orbiting overhead
• The Fair Access Policy limits heavy usage, if applied by the service
provider
• VPN use is discouraged, problematic, and/or restricted with satellite
broadband, although available at a price
10
Cellular broadband
Cellular phone towers are very widespread, and as cellular networks move to
third generation (3G) networks they can support fast data; using
technologies such as EVDO, HSDPA and UMTS.
These can give broadband access to the Internet, with a cell phone, with
Card bus, Express Card, or USB cellular modems, or with cellular broadband
routers, which allow more than one computer to be connected to the Internet
using one cellular connection.
Power-line Internet
This is a new service still in its infancy that may eventually permit broadband
Internet data to travel down standard high-voltage power lines. However, the
system has a number of complex issues, the primary one being that power
lines are inherently a very noisy environment. Every time a device turns on
or off, it introduces a pop or click into the line. Energy-saving devices often
introduce noisy harmonics into the line. The system must be designed to
deal with these natural signaling disruptions and work around them.
Broadband over power lines (BPL), also known as Power line communication,
has developed faster in Europe than in the US due to a historical difference
in power system design philosophies. Nearly all large power grids transmit
power at high voltages in order to reduce transmission losses, then near the
customer use step-down transformers to reduce the voltage. Since BPL
signals cannot readily pass through transformers, repeaters must be
attached to the transformers. In the US, it is common for a small transformer
hung from a utility pole to service a single house. In Europe, it is more
common for a somewhat larger transformer to service 10 or 100 houses. For
delivering power to customers, this difference in design makes little
difference, but it means delivering BPL over the power grid of a typical US
city will require an order of magnitude more repeaters than would be
required in a comparable European city.
The second major issue is signal strength and operating frequency. The
system is expected to use frequencies in the 10 to 30 MHz range, which has
been used for decades by licensed amateur radio operators, as well as
international shortwave broadcasters and a variety of communications
systems (military, aeronautical, etc.). Power lines are unshielded and will act
as transmitters for the signals they carry, and have the potential to
11
completely wipe out the usefulness of the 10 to 30 MHz range for shortwave
communications purposes, as well as compromising the security of its users.
Wireless ISP
This typically employs the current low-cost 802.11 Wi-Fi radio systems to link
up remote locations over great distances, but can use other higher-power
radio communications systems as well.
Traditional 802.11b was licensed for omni directional service spanning only
100-150 meters (300–500 ft). By focusing the signal down to a narrow beam
with a Yagi antenna it can instead operate reliably over a distance of many
miles, although the technology's line-of-sight requirements hamper
connectivity in areas with hilly and heavily foliated terrain. In addition,
compared to hard-wired connectivity, there are security risks (unless robust
security protocols are enabled); speeds are significantly slower (2 – 50 times
slower); and the network can be less stable, due to interference from other
wireless devices and networks, weather and line-of-sight problems. Rural
Wireless-ISP installations are typically not commercial in nature and are
instead a patchwork of systems built up by hobbyists mounting antennas on
radio masts and towers, agricultural storage silos, very tall trees, or
whatever other tall objects are available. There are currently a number of
companies that provide this service. A wireles Internet access provider s
map for USA is publicly available for WISPS.
World Space
World Space is a digital satellite radio network based in Washington DC. It
covers most of Asia and Europe plus all of Africa by satellite. Beside the
digital audio, users can receive one way broadband digital data transmission
(150 Kilobit/second) from the satellite.
Advantages:
• Low cost (US$ 100) receiver that combines a digital radio receiver and
a data receiver. This technology can be used for transmitting
websites / files from Internet.
• Access from remote places in Asia and Africa.
Disadvantages:
• One way data transmission.
12
• Privacy/security.

To promote economic development and reduction of the digital divide,
national broadband plans from around the world promote the universal
availability of affordable broadband connectivity.

Wireless Broadband
Wireless Broadband is a fairly new technology that provides high-speed
wireless internet and data network access over a wide area.
Abbreviation
The acronym "WiBB" is entering the vernacular as a contraction of "Wireless
Broadband", in much the same way as "WiFi" refers to 802.11 or similar
wireless networks.
14
Few Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) provide download speeds of
over 100 Mbit/s; most broadband wireless access services are estimated to
have a range of 50 km (30 miles) from a tower. Technologies used include
LMDS and MMDS, as well as heavy use of the ISM bands and one particular
access technology is being standardized by IEEE 802.16, also known as
WiMAX. WiMAX is highly popular in Europe but has not met full acceptance
in the United States because cost of deployment does not meet return on
investment figures. In 2005 the Federal Communications Commission
adopted a Report and Order that revised the FCC’s rules to open the 3650
MHz band for terrestrial wireless broadband operations. On November 14,
2007 the Commission released Public Notice DA 07-4605 in which the
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced the start date for licensing
and registration process for the 3650-3700 MHz band.
Initially, WISPs were only found in rural areas not covered by cable or DSL.
These early WISPs would employ a high-capacity T-carrier, such as a T1 or
DS3 connection, and then broadcast the signal from a high elevation, such as
at the top of a water tower. To receive this type of Internet connection,
consumers mount a small dish to the roof of their home or office and point it
to the transmitter. Line of sight is usually necessary for WISPs operating in
the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands with 900 MHz offering better NLOS (non-line-of-
sight) performance.
Licensing
A wireless connection can be either licensed or unlicensed. In the US,
licensed connections use a private spectrum the user has secured rights to
from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In other countries,
spectrum is licensed from the country's national radio communications
authority (such as the ACMA in Australia or Nigerian Communications
Commission in Nigeria). Licensing is usually expensive and often reserved for
large companies who wish to guarantee private access to spectrum for use in
15
point to point communication. Because of this, most wireless ISP's use
unlicensed spectrum which is publicly shared.

COMPETITORS
BSNL is the name given to the company that provides high-speed internet
connection with fast bandwidth. It is a quick connection, typically “always-
on” and capable of transmitting data at a much faster rate than a standard
dialup modem connection. BSNL is available in many areas.
• BSNL Broadband will not tie up your phone line, allowing you to use the
internet and telephone simultaneously. BSNL Broadband can be
provided from a dedicated line such as Cable or ISDN, or over the top
of our phone line such as ADSL. Low-band Internet access is typically
running up to 56kbps using a dial-up modem. Mid-band Internet is a
phrase given to dialup that operates at 64kbps or 28kbps. Broadband
starts at 512kbps (approximately ten times faster than typical dialup)
and is also typically available at 1mbps, 1.5mbps and 2.2mbps. Some
companies offer broadband at 4mbps and 8mbps. The maximum
possible for example is around 26mbps and 24mbps for ADSL although
these speeds are not sold commercially due to the high cost required
to upgrade telephone lines to be able to transmit at this speed.

TECHNOLOGY
Device Manufacturers
Device manufacturers have the opportunity to develop handsets that support
applications that optimize the usability of WAP applications by capitalizing on
new WAP 2.0 features, such as the ability to include color, multimedia
messaging, large-file downloading, improved navigational functions, and
user friendly menus.
Network Operators
Network operators will benefit from the ability to provide new services that
have increased appeal by exploiting the benefits of WAP 2.0. These new
services have the potential to increase user traffic,3 leading to increased
revenue and bringing operators the benefits of their investment in 2.5G and
3G network
42
As WAP continues convergence with Internet specifications, WAP 2.0 builds
upon the latest Internet standards: XHTML, TCP/IP, HyperText Transfer
Protocol (HTTP/1.1), and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Utilizing standards developed by the W3C, WAP adopts XHTML and CSS
Mobile Profile as part of WML 2.0 (while maintaining backwards compatibility
with WML 1.x), to reduce the time necessary to create and test applications
and manipulate content for various devices. At the protocol level WAP 2.0
adopts IETF specifications as follows: In the transport layer, WAP 2.0 features
TCP/IP for those networks capable of transporting data over IP. In the session
layer, WAP 2.0 adopts HTTP/1.1 as a protocol. WAP 2.0 adds further security
features, including the adoption of the TLS protocol, to provide improved
end-to-end security and integration with the wired Internet security to enable
secure use of mobile commerce, mobile banking applications, and service
offerings.
New technologies of WAP 2.0 that will improve the user experience are Data
Synchronization, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), Persistent Storage
Interface,
For Data Synchronization WAP 2.0 adopts the Sync protocol in order to
ensure a common solution framework with a multitude of devices. The Sync
messages are supported over both the Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) and
HTTP/1.1 protocols. MMS provides the framework to develop applications
that support feature-rich messaging solutions, permitting delivery of varied
types of content in order to tailor the user experience. The Persistent
Storage Interface provides a set of storage services that allow the user to
organize access, store and retrieve data on wireless devices. The new
Provisioning feature permits the network operator to manage the devices on
its network with a common set of tools. The Pictogram feature permits the
use of a set of tiny images, allowing users to quickly convey concepts in a
small amount of space while transcending traditional language boundaries.
43
the user and to recognize the capabilities of devices, such as screen size and
color to maximize performance potential, bringing the user increased
satisfaction.
MIMO
In radio, multiple-input and multiple-output, or MIMO, is the use of multiple
antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication
performance. It is one of several forms of smart antenna technology.
Wireless standards
In the commercial arena, Iospan Wireless Inc. developed the first
commercial system in 2001 that used MIMO-OFDMA technology. Iospan
technology supported both diversity coding and spatial multiplexing. In 2005,
Airgo Networks had developed a pre-11n version based on their patents on
MIMO. Following that in 2006, several companies have fielded a MIMO-OFDM
solution based on a pre-standard for IEEE 802.11n WiFi standard. Also in
2006, several companies have developed MIMO-OFDMA based solutions for
IEEE 802.16e WIMAX broadband mobile standard. All upcoming 4G systems
will also employ MIMO technology. Several research groups have
demonstrated over 1 Gbit/s prototypes.
OFDM
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), essentially identical to
coded OFDM (COFDM) and discrete multi-tone modulation (DMT), is a
frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme utilized as a digital multi-
carrier modulation method. A large number of closely-spaced orthogonal
44
sub-carriers are used to carry data. The data is divided into several parallel
data streams or channels, one for each sub-carrier. Each sub-carrier is
modulated with a conventional modulation scheme at a low symbol rate,
maintaining total data rates similar to conventional single-carrier modulation
schemes in the same bandwidth.
Wireless
• The wireless LAN (WLAN) radio interfaces IEEE 802.11a, g, n and
HIPERLAN/2.
• The digital radio systems DAB/EUREKA 147, DAB+, Digital Radio
Mondale, HD Radio, T-DMB and ISDB-TSB.
• The terrestrial digital TV systems DVB-T and ISDB-T.
• The terrestrial mobile TV systems DVB-H, T-DMB, ISDB-T and MediaFLO
forward link.
• The cellular network's FLASH-OFDM.
• The mobile broadband 3GPP Long Term Evolution air interface named
High Speed OFDM Packet Access (HSOPA).
• The wireless MAN/fixed broadband wireless access (BWA) standard
IEEE 802.16 (or WiMAX).
• The mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) standards IEEE 802.20,
IEEE 802.16e (Mobile WiMAX) and WiBro.
• The wireless personal area network (PAN) ultra-wideband (UWB) IEEE
802.15.3a implementation suggested by WiMedia Alliance.
45
4G WIRELESS STANDARDS
In September 2009 the technology proposals have been submitted to ITU-R
as 4G candidates. Basically all proposals are based on two technologies:
First set of 3GPP requirements on LTE Advanced has been approved in June
2008. LTE Advanced will be standardized in 2010 as part of the Release 10 of
the 3GPP specification. LTE Advanced will be fully built on the existing LTE
specification Release 10 and not be defined as a new specification series. A
summary of the technologies that have been studied as the basis for LTE
Advanced is summarized in a technical report.
TERMINOLOGY
Primary Building Network (PBN)
The Company’s main server will be placed at the top of the building to
provide signals to the customers that are using the service.
Only one access point will be placed at the corner of the terrace and
with the help of the line of sight propagation signal will be received from the
SBN. Each network point will be covered a minimum of 200 mts from the
places of access points.
46
Router
It is imported from Canada with latest technology the main function of
the router is to receive the signals that are generated by the PBN.
Connection can be established in two ways one is for wire and other is
wireless. In the case of wireless connection can be given through the G-45
cable where in the wired the connection can be established through wire.
If the signal strength is received as two points by the router then the
connection can not be established and if the signal strength is received as
three points then connection can be established with help of wire which
we use nano technology and wire is drawn through the access point in
order to get the full signal strength. Signal strength and speed will be shown
to the customer with the help of demo.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM IN SIP COMPANY
We were trained on the product for two days and the product that was
explained clearly along with different plans, tariff, packages and benefits
that they are going to provide to the customers. It is also explained that how
to give a mock demo to the customers to close a sale and which type of plan
to be highlighted to the different groups of customer. The most important
part was that it was just not one side speech or class. We were also asked to
give presentation on what we have learned so far about the product. We
were divided into two teams and were provided with two team leaders for
the team. We were also motivated to do hard work and earn as much can we
do and how we can get recognition in the company as a whole.
It can be concluded that all together the orientation in the company was
very motivated and also knowledge giving, which will surely help us not only
in this Internship program but also in the future life.
