ABSTRACT
1
In technology internet communication began as resolution. The idea of sending voice across a
data network, in packet format, has been raise by a hope of eventually creating new markets,
but for a long time that hope remained latent. We all are familiarize with some sorts of
communication in our day to day life. We use telephone and postal communication systems
for the communication of information or massages. Similarly data and information from one
computer system can be transmitted to other systems across geographical areas.
Thus data transmission is the movement of information which uses some standard
methods.These methods include electrical signals carried along a conductor, optical signals
along with optical fibers and electromagnetic areas. Wired communications make use of
underground communications cables, electronic signal amplifiers (repeaters) inserted into
connecting cables at specified points, and terminal apparatus of various types, depending on
the type of wired communications used. Various telecommunications systems combine wired
communications with radio communication, such as radio-relay and satellite
communications.A classic example of wired communications is the traditional home
telephone that is connected to the local telephone switch via wires that are ran from the home
to the switch.
While wireless communication solutions have become more common in recent years, the use
of wired services remains common and is not likely to disappear in the near future.Today
customers are demanding a different kind of communications infrastructure to line up more
closely with the different kind of business environment (shaped by the Internet) in which they
find themselves operating. Likewise, service providers are beginning to come forth with new
ideas about how to deliver features and applications to their customers.

On May 18, 2010, 3G spectrum auction was completed and Airtel will have to pay the Indian
government 122.95 billion (US$2.45 billion) for spectrum in 13 circles, the most amount
spent by an operator in this auction. Airtel won 3G licenses in 13 telecom circles of
India: Delhi, Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh (east),
Rajasthan, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, North East, and Jammu &
Kashmir. Airtel also operates 3G services in Maharashtra, Goa, Kanpur and Kolkata through
an agreement with Vodafone and in Gujarat through an agreement with Idea. This gives Airtel
a 3G presence in 15 out of 22 circles in India.
On September 20, 2010, Bharti Airtel said that it has given contracts to Ericsson India, Nokia
Siemens Networks (NSN) and Huawei Technologies to set up infrastructure for providing 3G
services in the country. These vendors will plan, design, deploy and maintain 3GHSPA
(third generation, high speed packet access) networks in 13 telecom circles where the
company has won 3G licenses. While Bharti Airtel has awarded network contracts for seven
3G circles to Ericsson India, NSN would manage networks in three circles. Chinese telecom
equipment vendor Huawei Technologies has been introduced as the third partner for three
circle.
On January 24, 2011, Airtel launched 3G services in Bangalore, Karnatakaits largest circle
by revenue. With this launch, Airtel became the third private operator (fifth overall) to launch
its 3G services in the country following Reliance Communications and Tata DoCoMo. On
January 27, 2011, Airtel launched 3G in Chennai and Coimbatore.
On July 27, 2011 Airtel launched 3G in three major cities in Kerala (Trivandrum, Cochin and
Calicut).
Airtel plans to cover 1,500 cities across 13 circles by the end of March 2012. The company,
which has 3G licenses for 13 circles, is also in talks with other service providers to roll out
the services in the remaining 10 circles as part of its roaming offerings.
Airtel had about 3 million 3G subscribers as of May 2011.

becoming the first company in India to offer 4G services. Airtel launched 4G in Bangalore on
7 May 2012. It will launch services next in Pune and Chandigarh.
On 24 May 2012, Airtel announced an agreement to acquire a 49% stake in Qualcomm Asia
Pacific (India). Qualcomm holds 4G spectrum and licenses in Delhi, Haryana, Kerala and
7
Mumbai. As per the agreement, by the end of 2014, Airtel will assume full ownership and
financial responsibility for 4G operations in these 4 circles
TELEMEDIA SERVICES
The Telemedia business provides services in 89 Indian cities and consists of two brands.
Airtel Broadband provides broadband and IPTV services. Airtel provides both capped as well
as unlimited download plans (extremely reduced speeds at unlimited data are implied
(256kbps beyond FUP which is lesser than the TRAI specified limit of half of your original
speed.)). The maximum speed available for home users is 16Mbit/s.
Airtel has about 3.16 million wireline customers, of which 42.6% are broadband internet
subscribers as of August 2010. Until 18 September 2004, Bharti provided fixed line
telephony and broadband services under the Touchtel brand. Bharti now provides all telecom
services including fixed line services under a common brand "Airtel".

2.1 TECHNOLOGY
2.1.1WIRELINE COMMUNICATION
INTRODUCTION
Wired communication is a broad term that is used to describe any type of communication
process that relies on the direct use of cables and wiring to transmit audio and visual data. A
distinction is made between long-distance (intercity) and local (intracity) wired
communications.
Wired communications make use of underground communications cables, electronic signal
amplifiers (repeaters) inserted into connecting cables at specified points, and terminal
apparatus of various types, depending on the type of wired communications used.
A classic example of wired communications is the traditional home telephone that is
connected to the local telephone switch via wires that are ran from the home to the switch.
While wireless communication solutions have become more common in recent years, the use
of wired services remains common and is not likely to disappear in the near future.
Local telephone networks often form the basis for wired communications that are used by
both residential and business customers in the area. Most of the networks today rely on the
use of fiber-optic communication technology as a means of providing clear signaling for both
inbound and outbound transmissions. Fiber optics are capable of accommodating far more
signals than the older copper wiring used in generations past, while still maintaining the
integrity of the signal over longer distances.
Internet access from desktop computer systems is also a common example of modern wired
communications. In fact, telephone service providers often utilize the same wiring to provide
both high speed Internet solutions and basic telephone services to residential and business
customers. Depending on the nature of the connection, this may require using wiring and
cables that have a higher capacity than standard wires.
In general, wired communications are considered to be the most stable of all types of
communications services. They are relatively impervious to adverse weather conditions when
compared to wireless solutions. With some forms of wired services, the strength and speed of
the transmission is superior to other solutions, such as satellite or microwave transmissions.
These characteristics have allowed wired communications to remain popular, even as
wireless solutions have continued to advance.
Wiredmedia include coppercables (e.g., twisted-pair copper wire cable - the "telephone
cable", coaxial cable, UTP cable - the "LAN cable", etc.) and opticalfibercables (made of
glass or plastic). Copper cables allow the propagation of electricsignals (i.e., electric voltage
or current pulses), whereas optical fiber cables allow the propagation of lightpulses.
COPPER CABLES
Twistedpair wire is the most widely used medium for telecommunication. Twisted-pair
cabling consist of copper wires that are twisted into pairs. Ordinary telephone wires consist of
two insulated copper wires twisted into pairs. Computer networking cabling
(wired Ethernet as defined by IEEE 802.3) consists of 4 pairs of copper cabling that can be
utilized for both voice and data transmission. The use of two wires twisted together helps to
reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. The transmission speed ranges from 2
million bits per second to 10 billion bits per second. Twisted pair cabling comes in two forms:
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted-pair (STP). Each form comes in several
category ratings, designed for use in various scenarios.
Fig 4.Copper wire
UTP CABLE
UTP cable is used in a variety of networks. Each of the eight individual copper wires in UTP
cable is covered By insulating material. In addition, the wires in each pair are twisted around
each other.UTP cable often is installed using a Registered Jack 45 (RJ-45) connector. The RJ45 is an eight-wire connector used commonly to connect computers onto a local-area network
(LAN), especially Ethernets.
The following summarizes the features of UTP cable:
STP CABLE
Shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable combines the techniques of shielding, cancellation, and
wire twisting. Each pair of wires is wrapped in a metallic foil. STP usually is installed with
STP data connector, which is created especially for the STP cable. However, STP cabling also
can use the same RJ connectors that UTP uses. Although STP prevents interference better
than UTP, it is more expensive and difficult to install. In addition, the metallic shielding must
be grounded at both ends. If it is improperly grounded, the shield acts like an antenna and
picks up unwanted signals. Because of its cost and difficulty with termination, STP is rarely
used in Ethernet networks
The following summarizes the features of STP cable:
COAXIAL CABLE
Coaxial cable supports 10 to 100 Mbps and is relatively inexpensive, although it is more
costly than UTP on a per-unit length. However, coaxial cable can be cheaper for a physical
bus topology because less cable will be needed. Coaxial cable can be cabled over longer
distances than twisted-pair cable. For example, Ethernet can run approximately 100 meters
12
(328 feet) using twisted-pair cabling. Using coaxial cable increases this distance to 500m
(1640.4 feet).
For LANs, coaxial cable offers several advantages. It can be run with fewer boosts from
repeaters for longer distances between network nodes than either STP or UTP cable.
Repeaters regenerate the signals in a network so that they can cover greater distances.
Coaxial cable is less expensive than fiber-optic cable, and the technology is well known; it
has been used for many years for all types of data communication.The most common
connectors used with Thinnet are BNC, short for British Naval Connector.

SWITCH
Although all three layers of the hierarchical design model contain switches and routers, the
accesslayer generally has more switches. The main function of switches is to connect hosts
such as end-userworkstations, servers, IP phones, web cameras, access points, and routers.
This means that there aremany more switches in an organization than routers.
Switches come in many form factors:
Small standalone models sit on a desk or mount on a wall.
Integrated routers include a switch built into the chassis that is rack mounted.
High-end switches mount into a rack and are often a chassis-and-blade design to allow
moreblades to be added as the number of users increases.
Gigabit fiber or coppercable. An IDF switch typically needs both RJ-45 Fast Ethernet ports
for device connectivity and at least one Gigabit Ethernet port (copper or fiber) to uplink to the
MDF switch. Some high-end switches have modular ports that can be changed if needed.
Like routers, switch ports are also designated using the controller/port or controller/slot/port
convention. For example, using the controller/port convention, the first Fast Ethernet port on
a switch is numbered as Fa0/1 (controller 0 and port 1). The second is Fa0/2. The first port on
a switch that uses controller/slot/port is Fa0/0/1. Gigabit ports are designated as Gi0/1, Gi0/2,
and so on. Figure shows a Cisco Catalyst 4948 switch with 48 accessports capable of
operating at 10 Mbps (regular Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), or 1000 Mbps(Gigabit
Ethernet). In addition, it has two built-in 10-Gbps UTP ports and two modular ports that
canaccept various fiber-optic Ethernet interfaces, including 10-Gbps multimode or singlemode.
MUX
In telecommunications and computer networks, multiplexing (also known as muxing) is
a process where multiple analog message signals or digital data streams are combined into
one signal over a shared medium. The aim is to share an expensive resource.
The multiplexed signal is transmitted over a communication channel, which may be a
physical transmission medium. The multiplexing divides the capacity of the low-level
communication channel into several higher-level logical channels, one for each message
signal or data stream to be transferred. A reverse process, known as demultiplexing, can
extract the original channels on the receiver side.
A device that performs the multiplexing is called a multiplexer (MUX), and a device that
performs the reverse process is called a demultiplexer(DEMUX).
Multiplexers, often called muxes, are extremely important to telecommunications. Their main
reason for being is to reduce network costs by minimizing the number of communications
17
links needed between two points. As with all other computing systems, multiplexers have
evolved. Each new generation has additional intelligence, and additional intelligence brings
more benefits.

2.1.2WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION
Introduction
Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use of
electrical conductors or wires. The term "Wireless" came into public use to refer to a radio
receiver or transceiver (a dual purpose receiver and transmitter device), establishing its usage
in the field of wireless telegraphy early on; now the term is used to describe modern wireless
connections such as in cellular networks and wireless broadband Internet. It is also used in a
general sense to refer to any type of operation that is implemented without the use of wires,
such as "wireless remote control", "wireless energy transfer", etc. regardless of the specific
technology (e.g., radio, infrared, ultrasonic, etc.) that is used to accomplish the operation.
The distances involved may be short (a few meters as in television remote control) or very
long (thousands or even millions of kilometers for radio communications). When the context
is clear the term is often simply shortened to wireless. Wireless communications is generally
considered to be a branch of telecommunications.
Wireless communications encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and portable two way
radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless networking. Other
examples of wireless technology include GPS units, garage door openers and or garage doors,
wireless computer mice, keyboards and headsets, satellite television and cordless telephones.
The term "wireless" should not be confused with the term "cordless", which is generally used
to refer to powered electrical or electronic devices that are able to operate from a portable
power source (e.g., a battery pack) without any cable or cord to limit the mobility of the
cordless device through a connection to the mains power supply. Some cordless devices, such
20
as cordless telephones, are also wireless in the sense that information is transferred from the
cordless telephone to the telephone's base unit via some type of wireless communications
link. This has caused some disparity in the usage of the term "cordless", for example in
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications.
radio wave and extracts the information-bearing electronic signal, which is converted back to
its original form by a transducer such as a speaker.
Microwave communication
Before the advent of fiber-optic transmission, most long-distancetelephone calls were carried
via networks of microwave radio relay links run by carriers such as AT&T Long Lines.
Starting in the early 1950s, frequency division multiplex was used to send up to 5,400
telephone channels on each microwave radio channel, with as many as ten radio channels
combined into one antenna for the hop to the next site, up to 70 km away.
Wireless LANprotocols, such as Bluetooth and the IEEE802.11 specifications, also use
microwaves in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, although 802.11a uses ISM band and U-NII
frequencies in the 5 GHz range. Licensed long-range (up to about 25 km) Wireless Internet
Access services have been used for almost a decade in many countries in the 3.54.0 GHz
range. The FCC recentlycarved out spectrum for carriers that wish to offer services in this
range in the U.S. with emphasis on 3.65 GHz. Dozens of service providers across the
country are securing or have already received licenses from the FCC to operate in this band.
The WIMAX service offerings that can be carried on the 3.65 GHz band will give business
customers another option for connectivity.
Microwave radio is used in broadcasting and telecommunication transmissions because, due
to their short wavelength, highly directional antennas are smaller and therefore more practical
than they would be at longer wavelengths (lower frequencies). There is also more bandwidth
in the microwave spectrum than in the rest of the radio spectrum; the usable bandwidth below
300 MHz is less than 300 MHz while many GHz can be used above 300 MHz. Typically,
microwaves are used in television news to transmit a signal from a remote location to a
television station from a specially equipped van. See broadcast auxiliary service (BAS),
remote pickup unit (RPU), and studio/transmitter link (STL).
Most satellite communications systems operate in the C, X, K a, or Ku bands of the microwave
spectrum. These frequencies allow large bandwidth while avoiding the crowded UHF
frequencies and staying below the atmospheric absorption of EHF frequencies. Satellite TV
either operates in the C band for the traditional large dish fixed satellite service or K u band for
22
If you are planning to extend the range or widen the coverage, you may need to use external
high-gain antennas for your access points. In addition to the antenna type and gain, you need
to pay attention to the following specifications:
Frequency Range: The most important parameter of an antenna is its working frequency. For
example a 2.4G antenna is too weak to use in IEEE 802.11a communication and the data rate
will fall back to a very low level. It is unusual to see dual-band or multiple-band antennas,
especially for outdoor Antennas. Make sure you use the right antenna for your planned
working frequency.
Antenna Polarity: Polarization refers to the direction electromagnetic waves travel as energy
radiates away from the antenna. The simplest and most common example is linear
polarization. When power is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver, only the same
polarization portion can be received. As the following figures show, improper antenna
installation may have a negative effect on network communication.
TOWERS
A cell phone tower consists of multiple parts, most of which are owned by different
companies. Typically a cell phone tower is built either by a tower company or a wireless
carrier looking to expand their network coverage.
Many inquiries that we receive actually confuse a tower with the antenna that are placed on a
rooftop. "We have two towers on our roof". What they mean to say is that we have two sets of
antenna on our roof.
There are four different types of towers.
Lattice Tower- also referred to as a self-support tower or SST, the lattice tower
affords the greatest flexibility and is often used in heavy loading conditions. A lattice
tower is typically three sided and has a triangular base, however there are some four
of the tower.
Guyed Tower- Guyed towers used to be the cheapest tower to construct, but require
the greatest amount of land. For taller heights (300' and greater) it is much cheaper to
build a guyed tower. Most radio and television towers are guyed towers. A guyed
tower is a straight tower supported by guy wires to the ground which anchor the
tower.
24
Stealth Tower- Stealth towers are typically required by zoning. They are always more
expensive than the other types of towers. More often than not they require additional
material to "Stealth" their appearance and typically don't provide the same amount of
capacity for tenants. Below is one of the more interesting stealth towers we have seen
located at a church in California.
The Equipment- Each of the tenants who mount their antenna on the cell phone tower uses
transmitters installed in cabinets or in shelters. Different wireless carriers use different means
of protecting their equipment. Many place outdoor cabinets on concrete pads, while others
use premanufactured equipment shelters. This equipment is also called the "Base Transmitter
Station" or "BTS". The Antennas - Each carrier will typically use multiple antennas on the
tower. Sometimes there are as few as three antennas, sometimes as many as eighteen antennas
per carrier. As additional subscribers come onto the carriers system the carriers need
additional antennas to handle the added capacity.
Base Stations
The base station is a common infrastructure component that interfaces the wireless
communications signals traveling through the air medium to a wired networkoften referred
to as a distribution system. Therefore, a base station enables users to access a wide range of
network services, such as web browsing, e-mail access, and database applications. A base
station often contains a wireless NIC that implements the same technology in operation by
the user's wireless NIC.
Base stations go by different names, depending on their purpose. An accesspoint, for
instance, represents a generic base station for a wireless LAN. A collection of access points
within a wireless LAN, for example, supports roaming throughout a facility. The NIC within
a user's computer device connects with the nearest access point, which provides an interface
with systems within the infrastructure and users associated with other access points. As the
user moves to a part of the facility that's closer to another access point, the NIC automatically
reconnects with the closest access point to maintain reliable communications.
Residential gateways and routers are more advanced forms of base stations that enable
additional network functions. The gateway might have functions, such as access control and
25
application connectivity, that better serve distributed, public networks. On the other hand,
a router would enable operation of multiple computers on a single broadband connection.
2.2 TOOLS
Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution maintains information about the equipment
supporting your network, and the equipments relationship to locations, connections, and
carrier systems. Because equipment changes as network technologies change, the solution
provides flexible and configurable equipment modeling capabilities. Using a specification
that reflects your unique implementation, you can install in-service or spare equipment;
associate equipment with network components; and track equipment for capacity planning,
troubleshooting, or other purposes. You can also easily integrate equipment capabilities with
other asset tracking capabilitiessuch as bar coding or other auditing mechanismsto get
timely, accurate data about all the equipment in your networkwhether on- or off-net.

Costing Calculations
Signal strength: The electronics in active systems, which don't use coaxial cabling,
ensure that each antenna distributes the same signal strength, no matter where it's located.
In contrast, the coaxial cabling in a passive system is lossy the farther the cable runs,
the weaker the signal. To support long runs, passive-system users must install signal
repeaters along the way at additional cost.
Cost per square foot: The previous two factors create sharply different cost
equations for the two types of wireless systems. In almost any other type of building
improvement (LAN, carpeting, lighting, and so on), the total cost per square foot should
drop as the building size increases, and this is the case with an active in-building system.
With a passive system, however, the per-foot cost actually increases with building size.
Local labor rates: The cost of labor will naturally be a key factor in the overall
deployment. Labor costs are much lower in the third world, so the difference between the
28
costs of installing passive and active systems will be less. But in industrialized nations,
labor costs will almost certainly ensure that active systems will be less expensive overall.
Installation time: The difficulty of installing coaxial cabling is another issue that
affects costs because it increases deployment time. Installing any such system can be
disruptive to the ongoing operations of the business or venue, so customers always prefer
shorter deployment periods when they have a choice. This is less of an issue in new
construction, but it can be a major factor in buildings such as hospitals, manufacturing
facilities, transportation hubs, and resorts, where daytime access is difficult. In some
situations, the installers may need special escorts for security and safety reasons, and this
adds even more to the cost of deployment.
Code requirements: Local building and fire codes can also affect the cost of
antennae during or after the initial installation or to want to upgrade the system to handle
new frequencies or services over time. Buyers should carefully consider the cost of such
changes. Passive systems must often be significantly re-engineered to handle new antenna
placements, leading to some truly hair-raising change order costs. Active systems, on the
other hand, can usually handle new antennae or service changes without re-engineering.
In most cases, expanding an active system simply involves adding antenna.
5 Coping up Challenges
Critical Challenges
Since wireless devices need to be small and wireless networks is bandwidth limited, some of
the key challenges in wireless networks are:
Security Issues
Low Power Design.

6) Testing
After the setup of all the equipments a check is required to be performed whether the setup is
done correctly or not. For this testing is performed.
Testing procedure involves simple ping testing is a computer network administration utility
used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the
round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The
name comes from active sonar terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the
echo.
Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to
the target host and waiting for an ICMP response. In the process it measures the time from
transmission to reception (round-trip time) and records any packet loss. The results of the test
are printed in the form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including
the minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and sometimes the standard
deviation of the mean. Depending on the implementation, the ping command can be run with
various command line switches to enable special operational modes. Example options
include: specifying the packet size used as the probe, automatic repeated operation for
sending a specified count of probes, and time stamping.
In airtel they use software called putty for this kind of testing which also requires username
and password to login. If the testing is successful a written acknowledgement with a special
sign(!) is received.

Different types of network, local loop or mpls require a different testing procedure for local
loop or point to point, pinging two ips is enough that is of the two nodes, mpls or point to
multi point,Ip address of every node is pinged with the ipof every other node.
31
Customer pcd
Internal pcd
ping report
letter of commission
CustomerPCD: It contains the most basic information about the project like order no.
customer no service type etc. it also contains details about different managers like project
manager, state account manager etc. Italso contains ip details and user id and password.
Internal PCD: It contains all the internal details like last mile details, hardware details,
site condition, circuit or cabling details etc.
Ping Report: This is basically a test report which tells us whether the apparatus installed is
working properly or not.
32
Ping Report
Letter of Commissioning- This letter is issued by project manager after all the work has
been completed and all the clearances are taken from the different.

4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
219.
220.
At Bharti Airtel we were in CSD Department i.e Customer Services Delivery,
we delivered services to the customer like MPLS and INTERNET. In six months of
Training we were taught many things like the products of Airtel, segments, Airtel
Services, types of Networks(ANG, TNG, CEN).Laptops were issued to us. We have
the access of using the software which was METASOLV. Our id was also created to
use the software. IN CSD department services were delivered through two methods:
Wireline
Wireless
221.
222.
In Wireline Communication, data was transmitted over a wire based
communication technology. Examples include telephone networks and fiber-optic
communication. There are two modes of wireline Communication:
Copper
Fiber
223.
In Wireless Communication, data or information was transmitted between two
or more points that were not connected by an electrical conductor. Example: Radio.
P2P(Point to Point)
P2MP(Point to Multi Point)
224.
The software used was Meta Solv. It provides operations support
systems(OSS) to the communications industry. All the provisioning status was
checked in this software only. In case of MPLS service the provisioning of MPLS
was checked in the service request notes. If there was any issue in the order like last
mile down, circuit id missing, BH RA required then we have to coordinate with the
Project Manager of the corresponding state to resolve the issue. After the issue was
resolved the order was further moved for installation. The tasks were moved to
different bins like RAR-MPLS,ISP etc. We can check at which stage the order is
through this software.
225.
After the installation ping test was done for troubleshooting to know
connectivity as well as response time. After that in LEPM(Enterprise Project
Management), we close the order and handover to PM i.e Project Manager. After all
the process is done LOC is made(Letter Of commissioning) by the customer which
ensures that the link has been delivered to him successfully and there is further not
any issue. At last PCD(Project Closure Document) was also made.

This training was helpful to me in various direct and indirect ways, like understanding of
machines as well as procedure followed in installation process of various services.
13
This internship, gave great knowledge on how wired and wireless communications are
implemented, their components and media, applications.
