Introduction: All industries operate in a specific environment which keeps changing and
the firms in the business need to understand it to dynamically adjust their actions for best
results. Like minded firms get together to form associations in order to protect their
common interests. Other stake holders also develop a system to take care of their issues.
Governments also need to intervene for ensuring fair competition and the best value for
money for its citizens. This handout gives exposure on the Telecom Environment in India
and also dwells on the role of international bodies in standardizing and promoting
Telecom Growth in the world.
Institutional Framework: It is defined as the systems of formal laws, regulations, and
procedures, and informal conventions, customs, and norms, that broaden, mold, and
restrain socio-economic activity and behaviour. In India, The Indian telegraph act of 1885
amended from time to time governs the telecommunications sector. Under this act, the
government is in-charge of policymaking and was responsible for provisioning of services
till the opening of telecom sector to private participation. The country has been divided
into units called Circles, Metro Districts, Secondary Switching Areas (SSA), and Long
Distance Charging Area (LDCA) and Short Distance Charging Area (SDCA). Major
changes in telecommunications in India began in the 1980s. The initial phase of telecom
reforms began in 1984 with the creation of
Center for Department of Telematics (C-DOT) for developing indigenous technologies
and private manufacturing of customer premise equipment. Soon after, the Mahanagar
Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) were set
up in 1986. The Telecom Commission was established in 1989. A crucial aspect of the
institutional reform of the Indian telecom sector was setting up of an independent
regulatory body in 1997 - the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), to assure
investors that the sector would be regulated in a balanced and fair manner. In 2000, DoT
corporatized its services wing and created Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. Further
changes in the regulatory system took place with the TRAI Act of 2000 that aimed at
restoring functional clarity and improving regulatory quality and a separate disputes
GWEC, Ajmer 6

settlement body was set up called Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal
(TDSAT) to fairly adjudicate any dispute between licensor and licensee, between service
provider, between service provider and a group of consumers. In October 2003, Unified
Access Service Licenses regime for basic and cellular services was introduced. This
regime enabled services providers to offer fixed and mobile services under one license.
Since then, Indian telecom has seen unprecedented customer growth crossing 600 million
connections. India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China, Japan and
South Korea. The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second
largest among emerging economies. A brief on telecom echo system and various key
elements in institutional framework is given below:
Department of Telecommunications: In India, DoT is the nodal agency for taking care
of telecom sector on behalf of government. Its basic functions are:
• Policy Formulation
• Review of performance
• Licensing
• Wireless spectrum management
• Administrative monitoring of PSUs

standardization.
• Develop expertise to imbibe the latest technologies and results of R&D.
• Provide technical support to DOT and technical advice to TRAI & TDSAT.
• Coordinate with C-DOT on the technological developments in the Telecom Sector
for policy planning by DOT.
Universal Service Obligation Fund (USO): This fund was created in 2002. This fund is
managed by USO administrator. All telecom operators contribute to this fund as per
government policy. The objective of this fund is to bridge the digital divide i.e. ensure
equitable growth of telecom facilities in rural areas. Funds are allocated to operators who
bid lowest for providing telecom facilities in the areas identified by USO administrator.
Wireless Planning & Coordination (Wpc): This unit was created in 1952 and is the
National Radio Regulatory Authority responsible for Frequency Spectrum Management,
including licensing and caters for the needs of all wireless users (Government and
Private) in the country. It exercises the statutory functions of the Central Government and
issues licenses to establish, maintain and operate wireless stations. WPC is divided into
major sections like Licensing and Regulation (LR), New Technology Group (NTG) and
Standing Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency Allocation (SACFA). SACFA makes
the recommendations on major frequency allocation issues, formulation of the frequency
allocation plan, making recommendations on the various issues related to International
Telecom Union (ITU), to sort out problems referred to the committee by various wireless
users, Sitting clearance of all wireless installations in the country etc.
Telecom Enforcement, Resource and Monitoring (TERM) Cell: In order to ensure that
service providers adhere to the license conditions and for taking care of telecom network
security issues, DoT opened these cells in 2004 and at present 34 cells are operating in
various Circles and big districts in the country. Key functions of these units are Inspection
of premises of Telecom and Internet Service Providers, Curbing illegal activities in
telecom services, Control over clandestine / illegal operation of telecom networks by
vested interests having no license, To file FIR against culprits, pursue the cases, issue

3. PCM PRINCIPLE
Introduction
GWEC, Ajmer 18
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Multiplexing Techniques
There are basically two types of multiplexing techniques
The FDM technique is the process of translating individual speech circuits (300-
3400 Hz) into pre-assigned frequency slots within the bandwidth of the transmission
medium. The frequency translation is done by amplitude modulation of the audio
frequency with an appropriate carrier frequency. At the output of the modulator a filter
network is connected to select either a lower or an upper side band. Since the intelligence
is carried in either side band, single side band suppressed carrier mode of AM is used.
This results in substantial saving of bandwidth mid also permits the use of low power
amplifiers. Please refer Fig. 1.

GWEC, Ajmer 20
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Each channel is sampled at a specified rate and transmitted for a fixed duration. All
channels are sampled one by, the cycle is repeated again and again. The channels are
connected to individual gates which are opened one by one in a fixed sequence. At the
receiving end also similar gates are opened in unison with the gates at the transmitting
end.
The signal received at the receiving end will be in the form of discrete
samples and these are combined to reproduce the original signal. Thus, at a given instant
of time, only one channel is transmitted through the medium, and by sequential sampling a
number of channels can be staggered in time as opposed to transmitting all the channel at
the same time as in EDM systems. This staggering of channels in time sequence for
transmission over a common medium is called Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
It was only in 1938; Mr. A.M. Reaves (USA) developed a Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM) system to transmit the spoken word in digital form. Since then
digital speech transmission has become an alternative to the analogue systems.
PCM systems use TDM technique to provide a number of circuits on the same
transmission medium viz. open wire or underground cable pair or a channel provided by
carrier, coaxial, microwave or satellite system.

Signaling In Telecommunications
The term signaling, when used in telephony, refers to the exchange of control
information associated with the establishment of a telephone call on a
telecommunications circuit. An example of this control information is the digits dialed by
the caller, the caller's billing number, and other call-related information.
When the signaling is performed on the same circuit that will ultimately carry the
conversation of the call, it is termed Channel Associated Signaling (CAS). This is the case
for earlier analogue trunks, MF and R2 digital trunks, and DSS1/DASS PBX trunks.
In contrast, SS7 signaling is termed Common Channel Signaling (CCS) in that the
path and facility used by the signaling is separate and distinct from the
telecommunications channels that will ultimately carry the telephone conversation. With
CCS, it becomes possible to exchange signaling without first seizing a facility, leading to
significant savings and performance increases in both signaling and facility usage.

Training Report On Telecom Networks
The revolution in high bandwidth applications and the explosive growth of the Internet,
however, have created capacity demands that exceed traditional TDM limits. To meet
growing demands for bandwidth, a technology called Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) has been developed that multiplies the capacity of a single fiber.
DWDM systems being deployed today can increase a single fiber’s capacity sixteen fold,
to a throughput of 40 Gb/s. The emergence of DWDM is one of the most recent and
important phenomena in the development of fiber optic transmission technology. Dense
wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) revolutionized transmission technology by
increasing the capacity signal of embedded fiber. One of the major issues in the
networking industry today is tremendous demand for more and more bandwidth. Before
the introduction of optical networks, the reduced availability of fibers became a big
problem for the network providers. However, with the development of optical networks
and the use of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, a new and
probably, a very crucial milestone is being reached in network evolution. The existing
SONET/SDH network architecture is best suited for voice traffic rather than today’s high-
speed data traffic. To upgrade the system to handle this kind of traffic is very expensive
and hence the need for the development of an intelligent all-optical network. Such a
network will bring intelligence and scalability to the optical domain by combining the
intelligence and functional capability of SONET/SDH, the tremendous bandwidth of
DWDM and innovative networking software to spawn a variety of optical transport,
switching and management related products.
GWEC, Ajmer 23
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Early WDM began in the late 1980s using the two widely spaced wavelengths in the 1310
nm and 1550 nm (or 850 nm and 1310 nm) regions, sometimes called wideband WDM.
The early 1990s saw a second generation of WDM, sometimes called narrowband WDM,
in which two to eight channels were used. These channels were now spaced at an interval
of about 400 GHz in the 1550-nm window. By the mid-1990s, dense WDM (DWDM)
systems were emerging with 16 to 40 channels and spacing from 100 to 200 GHz. By the
late 1990s DWDM systems had evolved to the point where they were capable of 64 to
160 parallel channels, densely packed at 50 or even 25 GHz intervals.
As fig. 1 shows, the progression of the technology can be seen as an increase in the
number of wavelengths accompanied by a decrease in the spacing of the wavelengths.
Along with increased density of wavelengths, systems also advanced in their flexibility of
configuration, through add-drop functions, and management capabilities.
GWEC, Ajmer 24
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Varieties Of WDM
Early WDM systems transported two or four wavelengths that were widely spaced. WDM
and the “follow-on” technologies of CWDM and DWDM have evolved well beyond this
early limitation.
• WDM
Traditional, passive WDM systems are wide-spread with 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 channel
counts being the normal deployments. This technique usually has a distance limitation
of less than 100 km.
• CWDM
Today, coarse WDM (CWDM) typically uses 20-nm spacing (3000 GHz) of up to 18
channels. The CWDM Recommendation ITU-T G.694.2 provides a grid of
wavelengths for target distances up to about 50 km on single mode fibers as specified
in ITU-T Recommendations G.652, G.653 and G.655. The CWDM grid is made up of
18 wavelengths defined within the range 1270 nm to 1610 nm spaced by 20 nm.
• DWDM
Dense WDM common spacing may be 200, 100, 50, or 25 GHz with channel count
reaching up to 128 or more channels at distances of several thousand kilometers with
amplification and regeneration along such a route.
Figure 3 shows an optical network using DWDM techniques that consists of five main
components:

3. Amplifier:
- Post-amplifier boosts signal pulses at the transmit side (post amplifier) and on
the receive side (preamplifier)
- In line amplifiers (ILA) are placed at different distances from the source to
provide recovery of the signal before it is degraded by loss.

• Less costly in the long run because increased fiber capacity is automatically
available; don't have to upgrade all the time.
5. CDMA Technology
Access Network:
Access network, the network between local exchange and subscriber, in the
Telecom Network accounts for a major portion of resources both in terms of capital and
manpower. So far, the subscriber loop has remained in the domain of the copper cable
providing cost effective solution in past. Quick deployments of subscriber loop, coverage
of inaccessible and remote locations coupled with modern technology have led to the
emergence of new Access Technologies. The various technological options available are
as follows:
1. Multi Access Radio Relay
2. Wireless in Local Loop
3. Fiber in the Local Loop
GWEC, Ajmer 27
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Fixed Wireless telephony in the subscriber access network also known as Wireless in
Local Loop (WLL) is one of the hottest emerging market segments in global
telecommunications today. WLL is generally used as “the last mile solution” to deliver
basic phone service expeditiously where none has existed before. Flexibility and
expediency are becoming the key driving factors behind the deployment of WILL.
WLL shall facilitate cordless telephony for residential as well as commercial complexes
where people are highly mobile. It is also used in remote areas where it is uneconomical
to lay cables and for rapid development of telephone services. The technology employed
shall depend upon various radio access techniques, like FDMA, TDMA and CDMA.
Different technologies have been developed by the different countries like CT2 from
France, PHS from Japan, DECT from Europe and DAMPS & CDMA from USA. Let us
discuss CDMA technology in WLL application as it has a potential ability to tolerate a
fair amount of interference as compared to other conventional radios. This leads to a
considerable advantage from a system point of view.

Network entity description: Base station subsystem (BSS) Base station subsystem is the
general term for the wireless devices and wireless channel control devices that serve one
or several cells. Generally, a BSS contains one more base station controllers (BSC) and
base transmitter stations (BTS).
Architectu
Mobile switch center (MSC)
MSC is a functional entity that performs control and switching to the mobile stations
within the area that it serves, and an automatic connecting device for the subscriber traffic
between the CDMA network and other public networks or other MSCs. MSC is the kernel
of the CDMA cellular mobile communication system, and it is different from a wired
MS
switch in that an MSC must consider the allocation of the wireless resources and the
mobility of subscribers, and at least it must implement the follows processing activities:
2. Handoff.
GWEC, Ajmer 30
Training Report On Telecom Networks
When a non-CDMA subscriber calls a CDMA subscriber, the call will first be routed to
an MSC, which will inquires the corresponding HLR and further route the call to the
called party’s MSC. This kind of MSC is called Gateway MSC (GMSC). It is up to the
network operator to select which MSCs as GMSCs.
VLR is responsible for the storage and updating of the subscriber data of mobile stations
that roamed to the service area of this VLR. The VLR is generally configured together
with the MSC. When the mobile station enters a new location area, the MSC will notice
the VLR, which will initiate registration processing to the HLR to update the subscriber
location information. The VLR also stores necessary information for the establishment of
calls in the database for the MSC to search. One VLR can cover one or more MSC areas.
The HLR provides subscriber information storage and management functions for the
mobile network, including mobile subscriber subscription and cancellation and service
authorization and cancellation. At the same time, it helps in the implementation of
subscriber’s call and service operations. A CDMA can contain one or more HLRs based
on the number of subscribers, equipment capacity and network organization mode, with
multi-HLR mode realized in the form of virtual HLRs. The subscriber information stored
in the HLR includes the following two types in information:
1. Subscription information

form. The authentication center is generally configured together with the HLR. The
authentication parameter stored in the AUC includes:
As an independent entity in the CDMA cellular mobile communication system, the short
message center works in coordination with other entities such as MSC, HLR to implement
the reception, storing and transfer of the short messages from CDMA cellular mobile
communication system subscribers, and store subscriber-related short message data.
Short message entity (SME)
SME is a function entity for synthesis and analysis of short messages.
Operation and maintenance Center (OMC)
The OMC provides the network operator with network operation and maintenance
services, manages the subscriber information and implements network planning, to
enhance the overall working efficiency and service quality of the system. There two type
of operation and maintenance centers: OMC-S and OMC-R. An OMC-S is mainly used
for the maintenance work at the mobile switching subsystem (MSS) side; an OMC-R is
mainly used for the maintenance work at the base station subsystem (BSS) side.
Third Generation Standards

EV-DO
The third generation of cellular standards has seen a dominance of CDMA as the
underlying access technology. UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Services) is
3G evolution for GSM world. The standardization work for UMTS is being carried-out by
3GPP. The standardization work for CDMA 2000 and its enhancements is being carried
out under the supervision of 3GPP2.
GWEC, Ajmer 33
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Traditional wireless networks create a physical path between receiving and sending
devices, much like traditional telephone networks. EVDO instead adopts the same
approach used for the internet. IP, the Internet Protocol, breaks data into small pieces
called packets. Each packet is sent independently of all the other packets. This saves
bandwidth for use by other devices; when neither party on a phone call is speaking, the
connection consumes no bandwidth because there are no packets to send. Radio resources

a) Access Network (AN) consisting of Radio Node (RN) & Radio Network Controller
a) Radio Node (RN): It is a multiple circuit transceiver which shall radiate to cover a cell
or a sector. It consists of radio modules, base band signal processor, network interface,
antenna, feeder etc. It can be co-located with RNC or remotely located. RN shall include
the functions related to channel coding/decoding, interleaving, encryption, frame
building, modulation/demodulation, RF transceiver, antenna diversity, low noise
amplification etc. as per CDMA 2000 1 x EV-DO standards.
The AN obtains the timing reference and positioning reference from the GPS system
and hence the GPS receiver shall form an integral part of the RN along with other fixtures
such as GOS antenna, cable etc. AN split mounting arrangements with tower mountable
RF components such as PAs, LNAs, Filters etc. are also acceptable.
b) Radio Network Controller (RNC): It is responsible for inter connection between the
RN and the PCN and it provides control and management for one or more RNs. It assigns
traffic channels to individual users, monitors system performance and provides interface
between the RN and the PCN. RNC performs the radio processing functions such as
management of the radio resources, radio channel management, local connection

management etc.
It also processes information required for decision on handover of calls from one RN to
another. RNC can be collocated with the PCN or remotely located. The Packet Control
Function (PCF) shall form an integral part of RNC.
Packet Core Network (PCN): The packet data core network provides packet data services
to Access Terminal (AT) and consists of PDSN, HA, AAA, AN-AAA and FA
functionalities. The functional entities AAA and ANAAA may be a single physical entity
or two separate physical entities.
Operations and Maintenance Centre (OMC): The Operations and Maintenance Centre
(OMC) allow the centralized operation of the various units in the system and the functions
needed to maintain the sub systems. The OMC provides the dynamic monitoring and
controlling of the network management functions for operation and maintenance.

Training Report On Telecom Networks
span long or short distances and customers generally pay a flat monthly rate for the
service depending on the distance between the two points. Leased lines do not have
telephone numbers because each side of the line is always connected to one another, as
opposed to telephone lines which reuse the same lines for numerous conversations
through a process called "switching." The information sent through the leased line travels
along dedicated secure channels, eliminating the congestion that occurs in shared
networks.
The MLLN service is specially designed mainly for having effective control and
monitoring on the leased line so that the down time is minimized and the circuit
efficiency is increased. This mainly deals with data circuits ranging from 64 Kbps to 2048
Kbps.

The cluster node is used in the network as a high capacity cross-connection device with
several subracks. The basic nodes and midi nodes are used as flexible multiplexers or
medium capacity cross-connect equipment. They have both one subrack.
Cluster Node:-
It is built in Master-slave architecture. The cluster node represents the largest node
of the System. It is built in master-slave architecture. It consists of a master sub rack and
1 - 8 slave sub racks. Slave sub racks can be either double (32 unit slots), single (16 unit
slots) or midi (8 unit slots) sub racks.

expanded without disturbing the existing traffic. The cluster node cross-connects at TS
(64 kbit/s) level. The cluster node’s master subrack is mechanically similar to the double
subrack in the basic node. The difference is that the motherboard and bus extender cards
are different.
Basic Node:-
The Basic Node is the basic building block of the system. (16 unit slot). It is used
in local exchange or backbone networks or customer premises networks, depending on
the needed services and application. The cross connect port capacity of a Basic node is 64
Mbps = 32*2048 kbps port = 8*8448 kbps port
Midi Node:-
It is a small size flexible access node for customer premises. Midi node has the
same cross-connect functionality as the basic node (64 Mbps) One slot wide
multifunctional interface unit XCG designed for the Midi node. Midi node supports
mainly the same interface units as the basic node.
Mini Node:-
The mini node is a small cross-connect device, which can operate as either part of
the network connected to the network manager or as a separate cross-connect device
controlled and supervised locally. The mini node is functionally very close to the basic
node. The main difference is that in the mini node the common units (Control Unit,
Cross-connection Unit and Power Supply Unit) are integrated to the node.

An Intranet can give immediate access to products specifications, pricing charts and new
collateral’s, sales lead, competitive information and list of customer wins including
profit/loss analysis, thus boosting the success of the business.
Intranet runs on open TCP/IP network, enable companies to employ the same type of
servers and browser used for World Wide Web for internal applications distributed over
the corporate LAN.
A typical Intranet implementation involves a high end machine called a server which can
be accessed by individual PCs commonly referred to as clients, through the network.
The Intranet site setup can be quite inexpensive, especially if your users are already
connected by LAN. Most popular Intranet web servers can run on a platform widely
found in most organizations. Basic requirements for setting up an intranet site are:

8. Wi-MAX
Introduction:
Broadband wireless sits at the confluence of two of the most remarkable growth stories of
the telecommunications industry in recent years. Both wireless and broadband have on
their own enjoyed rapid mass-market adoption. The staggering growth of the Internet is
driving demand for higher-speed Internet-access services, leading to a parallel growth in
broadband adoption.
GWEC, Ajmer 45
Training Report On Telecom Networks
WiMAX technology has evolved through four stages, albeit not fully distinct or
clearly sequential: (1) narrowband wireless local-loop systems, (2) first-generation line-
of-sight (LOS) broadband systems, (3) second-generation non-line-of-sight (NLOS)
broadband systems, and (4) standards-based broadband wireless systems.
WiMAX is not the only solution for delivering broadband wireless services. WiMAX
occupies a somewhat middle ground between Wi-Fi and 3G technologies when compared
in the key dimensions of data rate, coverage, QoS, mobility, and price. Table provides a
summary comparison of WiMAX with 3G and Wi-Fi technologies.

2004
GWEC, Ajmer 47
Training Report On Telecom Networks
A broad industry consortium, the WiMAX Forum has begun certifying broadband
wireless products for interoperability and compliance with a standard. WiMAX is based
on wireless metropolitan area networking (WMAN) standards developed by the IEEE
802.16 group and adopted by both IEEE and the ETSI HIPERMAN group.
The WiMAX NWG has developed a network reference model to serve as an architecture
framework for WiMAX deployments and to ensure interoperability among various
WiMAX equipment and operators. The network reference model envisions a unified
network architecture for supporting fixed, nomadic, and mobile deployments and is based
on an IP service model. Below is simplified illustration of an IP-based WiMAX network
architecture. The overall network may be logically divided into three parts:
1. Mobile Stations (MS) used by the end user to access the network.
2. The access service network (ASN), which comprises one or more base stations
and one or more ASN gateways that form the radio access network at the edge.
3. Connectivity service network (CSN), which provides IP connectivity and all the IP
core network functions.
The network reference model developed by the WiMAX Forum NWG defines a number
of functional entities and interfaces between those entities. Fig below shows the logical
representation of the network architecture.

Additional functions that may be part of the BS are micro mobility management
functions, such as handoff triggering and tunnel establishment, radio resource
management, QoS policy enforcement, traffic classification, DHCP (Dynamic Host
Control Protocol) proxy, key management, session management, and multicast group
management.
Access Service Network Gateway (Asn-Gw): The ASN gateway typically acts as a
layer 2 traffic aggregation point within an ASN. Additional functions that may be part
of the ASN gateway include intra-ASN location management and paging, radio
resource management and admission control, caching of subscriber profiles and
GWEC, Ajmer 49
Training Report On Telecom Networks
Reference Points: The WiMAX NWG defines a reference point as a conceptual link
that connects two groups of functions that reside in different functional entities of the
ASN, CSN or MS. Reference points may not be a physical interface except when the
functional entities on either side of it are implemented on different physical devices.

the existing coverage by the use of multiple APs such as in a campus environment as
shown in Figure 2.
An important feature of the wireless LAN is that it can be used independent of a wired
network. It may be used as a stand alone network anywhere to link multiple computers
together without having to build or extend a wired network. Then a peer to peer
workgroup can be established for transfer or access of data. A member of the workgroup
may be established as the server or the network can act in a peer to peer mode as Shown
in Figure-3.
GWEC, Ajmer 53
Training Report On Telecom Networks
End users access the Wi-Fi network through Wi-Fi adapters, which are implemented as
cards in desktop computers, or integrated within hand-held computers. Wi-Fi wireless
LAN adapters provide an interface between the client Network Operating System (NOS)
and the airwaves via an antenna. The nature of the wireless connection is transparent to
the NOS. Wi-Fi deals with fixed, portable and mobile stations and of course, the physical
layers used here are fundamentally different from wired media.
Wi-Fi Network Configuration:
A Wireless Peer-To-Peer Network: This mode is also known as ADHOC mode. Wi-Fi
networks can be simple or complex. At its most basic, two PCs equipped with wireless
adapter cards can set up an independent network whenever they are within range of one
another. This is called a peer-to-peer network. It requires no administration or pre-
configuration. In this case, each client would only have access to the resources of the
other client and not to a central server as shown in Figure-4.
In this mode, one Access Point is connected to the wired network and each client would
have access to server resources as well as to other clients. The specific number client
depends on the number and nature of the transmissions involved. Many real-world
GWEC, Ajmer 54
Training Report On Telecom Networks
applications exist where a single Access Point services from 15 to 50 client devices as
shown in Figure-5.
Access points can be connected to each other through UTP cable or they can be connected
to each other over radio through wireless bridging. There is an option to connect access
points in a mesh architecture where in event of a fault in an access point the network heals
itself and connectivity is ensured through other access point. This changeover takes place
dynamically.
Access Points have a finite range, of the order of 500 feet indoor and 1000 feet outdoors.
In a very large facility such as a warehouse, or on a college campus, it will probably be
necessary to install more than one Access Point. Access Point positioning is done by a site
survey. The goal is to blanket the coverage area with overlapping coverage cells so that
clients might range throughout the area without ever losing network contact. The ability
of clients to move seamlessly among a cluster of Access Points is called roaming. Access
Points hand the client off from one to another in a way that is invisible to the client,
ensuring unbroken connectivity as shown in Fig-6.

The Use of Directional Antennae: One last item of wireless LAN equipment to consider
is the directional antenna. Let’s suppose you had a Wi-Fi network in your building-A and
wanted to extend it to a leased building-B, one mile away. One solution might be to install
a directional antenna on each building, each antenna targeting the other.
GWEC, Ajmer 56
Training Report On Telecom Networks
The antenna on ‘A’ is connected to your wired network via an Access Point. The antenna
on ‘B’ is similarly connected to an Access Point in that building, which enables Wi-Fi
network connectivity in that facility as shown in Figure-8.
