•
• Overall Experience
 Wireless Technologies
•
• Complete access technology portfolio
• Accessibility
• Reduced Time to Revenue
• Provides broadband access extension

 Some Basics
• Broadband and Narrowband
• Licensed Band and Unlicensed Band
• Point to Point and Point to Multi-Point
• Different Modulation Schemes
• Concept of ISM bands and
Interference
•
 LMDS Technology
• Local - limit in the potential coverage of a cell site
• Multipoint – Transmission is P2MP, Return path is P2P
• Distribution - simultaneous voice, data, internet, and video traffic.
• Service - subscriber nature of the relationship between the operator
and the customer.
•
• Reliance Communication uses 10.5 Ghz Band
at an average of 53 seconds unavailability
per day
•



 Why LMDS?
• Point-to-multipoint technology provides high-capacity local
access
• Less capital-intensive than a wire line solution
• Faster to deploy than wireline
• Cost is not incurred until the CPE is installed
• Last-mile solution to deliver services directly to end users
• Lower entry and deployment costs
• Ease and speed of deployment(systems can be deployed
rapidly with minimal disruption to the community and the
environment)
 Why LMDS?
• Fast realization of revenue (as a result of rapid deployment)
• Demand- based build out (scalable architecture employing open
industry standards ensuring services and coverage areas can be
easily expanded as customer demand warrants)
• Cost shift from fixed to variable components – the operator
needs to spend money only on the CPE in the case of a willing
revenue paying customer unlike traditional infrastructural costs of
wired line services.
• No stranded capital when customers churn.
• Cost – effective network maintenance, management, and operating costs

 Limitations of LMDS
• The Operating Costs are higher as a royalty amount
has to be paid every year for the usage of the
frequency spectrum
• Lack of Standards. The solutions available today are
mostly based on proprietary technologies.
• There is limitation to the Bandwidth available to the
user.
• Still requires fiber at the base station for back-haul.
• Requires Line of Sight for Information Transfer

 WIMAX

• World Interoperability for Microwave

Access.
 It is a standards based technology enabling “wireless broadband services”
as a last mile alternative to wired connections and as an improvement in
range and throughput over existing Wi-Fi technology
•
• Although a theoretical estimate puts the total bandwidth of around 75
Mbps over a distance of around 50km, in practice this is never reached
owing to several environmental constraints.


• In applications where the user is mobile, a WiMAX system is expected to

prove up to 15 Mbit/s of capacity within a typical cell radius
deployment of up to 3 km.
•
 Key Technical Features
• Resilience
 WiMAX does not require a clear line of sight between the base station and the user’s
equipment. As a result, WiMAX can tap a wider pool of customers than just those with a clear
view.


• Coverage
 The base stations will have a coverage radius of up to 50km, depending on factors
such as terrain and population density. The more geography a WiMAX base station
can cover, the lower the service provider’s overhead costs.


• Spectrum
 WiMAX can be used in licensed and unlicensed frequencies, initially
between 2 GHz and 11 GHz, with the possibility of future support for frequencies
up to 66 GHz. The first WiMAX certified products will be available for the 2.5
GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands.

A WiMAX Base Station: Base station consists of indoor electronics and a WiMAX tower.
Typically, a base station can cover up to 10 km radius (Theoretically, a base station can cover
up to 50 kilo meter radius or 30 miles, however practical considerations limit it to about 10
km or 6 miles). Any wireless node within the coverage area would be able to access the
Internet.

A WiMAX receiver - The receiver and antenna could be a stand-alone box or a PC card that
sits in your laptop or computer. Access to WiMAX base station is similar to accessing a
Wireless Access Point in a WiFinetwork, but the coverage is more.
Planning Division
 Planning Division(Contd..)
• B&P( Bids & Proposals) – Essentially, the B & P team is
responsible for the initial feasibility report generation
based on the field surveys conducted by the Survey
Team. The survey team visits the site and takes down
readings of the latitude ,longitude and the altitude.
 

• SCR (Scope change Request) – Based on the initial

feasibility report, the SCR team provides the final
connectivity solution in cases when the initial plan needs
revision. The SCR team coordinates with the field teams
and upon confirmation, offers the most effective solution
to an order request.

•
• GIS ( Geographical Information Systems) – The GIS
team, in addition to enabling the identification of the
buildings on a CAD based map, also provide for the
monitoring of the fibre splicing procedure. They are
responsible for assigning the GIS UIDs and FAC Ids
(Facility Ids) and updating the CAD drawings based on
 SURVEYING
• LMDS(Local multipoint Distribution Service)- works in the licensed
10.5Ghz band, operates within a 5km radius and requires a clear line of
sight (LOS),can provide VPN,LL(leased lines) services also.
•
• UBR(Unlicensed Band Radio)- works in the unlicensed band, uses the
2.4 GHz and 5.8 Ghz bands, operates within a radius of 5km, requires
clear LOS, transports voice and data
•
• WIMAX – used for operation for internet broadband within a 3km radius.
Does not require a clear LOS, operates in the licensed 3.5 Ghz and 5
Ghz bands.
•
• Microwave Links – Operates in the licensed 15 GHz band, Can operate
over large radius, Requires a clear Line of Sight for operation.
