Chapter I

INTRODUCTION As time passes, technology continuously reaches its peak. And for the past few years promising innovation arises that leads to the development and advancement of todays technology, giving birth to some systems that make our communication easier and faster. Communication as a form of exchanging information is one of the primary needs in businesses, public service as well as personal applications. Many types of communication systems became popular and are widely used, one of which is the triple-play service in which voice, video and data are provided over a single broadband connection. A so called quadruple-play service sometimes

humorously referred as The Fantastic Four of communication is gaining popularity; it is a modification of triple-play service with the addition of WiFi which connect electronic devices wirelessly to exchange data over a computer network. As a desire to achieve flexible system, wireless communication is being converged with other technologies. It will be possible that anyone would never need to be wired to get any communication services, anywhere, even at home with fast, reliable and flexible service.

OBJECTIVES To design a communication system layout in Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) that will package a quadruple play network for the company with the following services: Voice Data Video Wireless LAN To show substantial structured cabling design for the network. To provide the distribution of internet and telephone access for all departments and users in DAP. To offer a secure and reliable wireless internet access. To ensure the security of the campus by the use of CCTV cameras. To provide a design computation. To gain a profound understanding about the quadruple play network.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The Electronics and Communication Engineering students are tasked to develop a structural cabling network in the Development Academy of the Philippines that will provide a platform under the convergence of voice, data, video and wireless connection through a fascinating advancement of Quadruple Play Network. The plan will propose to the company for the enhancement of their

existing network. And with this, they will be able to attain a concrete and reliable system of communication for the smooth operation of the company.

In the essence of the subject Communication System, the proponents will enhance their ability by applying the knowledge they learned in the Rizal Technological University. This will give them the advantage to be familiar with the diverse parameters such as principles, equipment, terms, protocols, etc., relevant to the design. In fact, the ground will serve as a stepping stone for them to be ready in case they chose to enter on this kind of job in the near future as an Electronic Engineer.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION Scopes: Horizontal Cabling Systems Horizontal cabling must be designed to accommodate diverse user applications, including voice, data, video and wireless communications. Backbone Planning Backbone cabling should be designed and installed to satisfy an entire site planning period or anticipated life cycle. Telecommunications Room (TR) Design A properly designed TR includes an HC (FD) that provides a floor-serving distribution facility for horizontal cabling.

 Data Center Design The definition of a data center is a building or portion of a building whose primary function is to house a computer room and its support areas. Wireless System Design One of the most important steps to ensure a successful wireless implementation is to develop a solid design prior to implementation. Wireless equipment, frequencies, bandwidth capabilities, expandability, areas of coverage, and other factors determine the selection of the best solution. Cabling System Measure and dimension of cables and wires are considered to provide a standard transmission of important parameters. Design Computation The design will be more efficient as computation of different parameters regarding transmission and reception of the system requirement. Redundant Systems Providing redundant cross-connect areas and pathways that are physically separated can increase the reliability of the telecommunications

infrastructure. It is necessary for used to ensure the operation in case of any failure in the system. Equipment Consideration Specification of all equipment, devices, cables and connectors used in the design are relevant to make required connections.

Delimitation: 1. Existing network layout is disregarded. 2. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and other support structures that are not necessary in the design. 3. Configuration of network devices and equipment are not included. 4. Costing of equipment and services needed including the estimated return of investment (ROI). 5. Existence of other network in the area that may interfere and affect the operation of the system is not taken into consideration. 6. Legal permits and licenses are not considered.

BEGINNINGS The beginnings of the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) started with the story of two men who got together on a rainy afternoon in Tagaytay City. It was on the February 1, 1973 when freshly retired Education Secretary Onofre D. Corpuz and then Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) Chairman Leonides S. Virata motored to Tagaytay City after having a hearty fiesta lunch in Silang, Cavite. Chairman Virata showed Dr. Corpuz the site of the DBP training facility started by the latters predecessor, Gregorio S. Licaros, whose obsession was to

construct buildings wherever he has been at. Since Chairman Virata did not want the training center to be exclusively for DBP, he asked Dr. Corpuz for ideas on how best to maximize the use of the facility. It was five months after the declaration of Martial Law. If the military had the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) as their school for their officers, maybe there ought to be a development-oriented academy for the civilian

bureaucracy. There was a lot of thinking and talk about development, the need for a generation of leaders with new development perspectives, and the need for new technologies to support development programs. Dr. Corpuz suggested the creation of an institution to provide all these. The idea captured the interest of Chairman Virata and both of them agreed to work for its realization. Dr. Corpuz assembled a team of young professionals, headed by Horacio Boy R. Morales, who went through many lengthy discussions in his office at the Mirasol Building in front of the Philippine General Hospital where they came up with the concept, organization and programs of what later became the DAP. Chairman Virata, on the other hand, discussed the idea and convinced the heads of government financial institutions (GFIs) about the soundness of the venture. And so on May 11, 1973, DBP Chairman Leonides S. Virata, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director-General Gerardo P. Sicat, Social Security System (SSS) Administrator Gilberto Teodoro, Central Bank of the Philippines Governor Gregorio S. Licaros, Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President and General-Manager Roman Cruz, Jr., and Philippine National Bank (PNB) President Panfilo O. Domingo signed a

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) wherein they agreed to establish the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) as their joint project. The aforementioned GFIs, which eventually became the Founding Institutions of DAP, agreed that: 1) they would participate in the governance of the DAP, as well as provide annual financial contributions for the initial operations of DAP, and create a DAP Endowment Fund; 2) DBP would complete the construction of the training center in Tagaytay and make available to the DAP the full use of the said facility (which later on was donated to DAP); 3) NEDA would make available to DAP the use of the equipment, facilities/budgetary, and other resources of its Productivity and Development Center (PDC) and transfer to DAP the functions of PDC, including its role as the implementing agency of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) for the Philippines. With this, the proponents of the establishment of the DAP went to see the President of the Philippines who, after having seen the value of the idea, signed and issued Presidential Decree No. 205 on June 7, 1973 formally creating the DAP. Three weeks after, the President of the Philippines traveled to the newly constructed training facility in Tagaytay City on June 23, 1973, to formally inaugurate what is now the Development Academy of the Philippines.
