BSM (Base Station Manager)
The functions of Base Station Manage (hereinafter, referred to a BSM) include initialization,
downloading, status management, configuration management, performance statistics, and
subscriber authentication on the BSC and BTS. Since the BTS operating device
accommodates several subsystems, it has the minimum effect on the system operation and
maintenance when faults occur.
FSU (Fixed Subscriber Unit)
Fixed Subscriber Unit (hereinafter, referred to as FSU), placed between BTS and
subscriber provides the wireless interface function. It can be classified into various forms
depending on how many antennas, lines and applications it has. It can also provide voice
services, voice bandwidth data and digital data services
Broad Band Services
Introduction:
The confluence of two forces—the globalization of business and the networking of
information technology—has created the Internet economy. Advances in telecommunications
and data technology are creating new opportunities for countries, businesses and
individuals—just as the Industrial Revolution changed fortunes around the globe. The new
economy is defining how people do business, communicate , shop, have fun, learn, and live
on a global basis—connecting anyone to anything. The evolution of Internet has come into
existence & Internet service is expanding rapidly. The demands it has placed upon the public
network, especially the access network, are great. However, technological advances promise
big increases in access speeds, enabling public networks to play a major role in delivering new
and improved telecommunications services and applications to consumers .The Internet and
the network congestion that followed, has led people to focus both on the first and last mile as
well as on creating a different network infrastructure to avoid the network congestion and
access problems. The solution to this is Broadband.

Broadband indicates a means of connectivity at a high or ‘broad’ bandwidth, which is capable
of delivering multiple services simultaneously. It generally refers to transmission of data over
numerous frequencies. There were no uniform standards for Broadband connectivity and
various countries followed various standards. Recently ITU had stepped in and has defined
Broadband. According to International Telecommunication Union Broadband is defined as
“Transmission capacity that is faster than primary rate ISDN, at 1.5 to 2 Mb/s” But in
developing countries, as the average financial capability as well as usage, is low, broadband is
redefined.
Recognizing the potential of ubiquitous Broadband service in growth of GDP and enhancement
in quality of life through societal applications including tele-education, tele-medicine, e-
governance, entertainment as well as employment generation by way of high speed access to
information and web-based communication, Government of
India have finalised a policy to accelerate the growth of Broadband services.

Broadband Policy 2004 defines Broadband as “An ‘always-on’ data connection
supporting interactive services including, – Internet access and has the capability of the
minimum download speed of 256 kilo bits per second (kbps) to an individual subscriber
from the Point Of Presence (POP) of the service provider”.
–The interactive services will exclude any services for which a separate licence is specifically
required, for example, real-time voice transmission, except to the extent that it is presently
permitted under ISP licence with Internet Telephony.
Features of Broadband
Fast connection to the Internet
Access to the services which would otherwise be impossible on a slower dial up
connection. These include facilities such as downloading music or video
footage, listening to your favourite radio station or downloading (or sending)
large attached files with emails.
“Always-on” connection
means that you are permanently connected to the internet;hence no need to
dial up a connection every time you want to surf the web, send email, etc.
Flat-rate billing
if you choose an uncapped rate there will be no additional charges for the
time you are online.You can use it as much or as little as you would like, for a
fixed fee. Some connections are available at a lower cost, but limit you to the
amount of data being downloaded (known as 'capped rate').
Dedicated connection
Simultaneous use of both telephone & data line.
Broadband Services
High speed Internet means that you are permanently connected to the internet, and
don't need to dial up a connection every time you want to surf the web, send email, etc.

Video on Demand
Enables the user to select from an online library of content and select any of
the available choices for viewing at a convenient time with full DVD like
controls. This is similar to borrowing a Video for viewing.
Video Multicasting
Similar to cable or terrestrial broadcast – the user can join at any time but the
stream begins and ends at the preappointed times.
Interactive Gaming
Enables multiple players to play online games pitted against each other or
against computers, through gaming servers employed by gaming content
providers.
Audio and Video Conferencing
Share ideas, information, and applications using video or audio.
Distant Learning
Consists of electronic classrooms with 2-way and multi-way communication
among teachers and students.
All these services require the service provider to have tie-ups with the various content
providers.
Network Architecture of Broadband
Network architecture can be broadly classified into three categories:
1. Last mile connecting the subscriber – Access Network
2. Metro Area Network comprising of Core Network. NIB II Backbone supporting
Multi Service Platform
3. Service Provisioning Equipment at the Provider’s Premises.
Broadband Access Technology
Broadband access technology is broadly classified into two categories. They are Wired
Line & Wireless which is further classified as given below. Wireline technologies
include traditional telephone lines, coaxial cable lines, and fiber optic lines. Wireless
communications involve cellular and fixed wireless technology, high speed short range
communications and satellite transmission.

Wireless Wireline
3G Mobile DSL (Digital Sub’s Line)
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) Cable Modem
WiMAX Optical Fibre Technologies
LMDS & MMDS PLC (Power Line Communication)
FSO (Free Space Optics)
Satellite
For utilizing the existing copper cable, we have adopted DSL Technology.
Because physical infrastructure and geography are vastly different from country to country,
technology that works well in one geographic area may not work as well in another.
Therefore, it is up to each individual locality to determine the technologies that best meet
its needs. To handle the increasing bandwidth demand, localities are considering
upgrading their current telecommunications infrastructure or installing new
infrastructure. It is essential that communities and operators consider the present and
future needs of their citizens when examining the most appropriate systems. Broadband
should be considered an accelerator of economic development .
Factors affecting Broadband Access Choices
o Population density
o Existing infrastructure (e.g., twisted pair, cable, fiber)
o Government policies
o Competitive and regulatory dynamics
o Technology evolution
