Purpose of the
project:
Replace some of the old digital
telephone exchanges of Dhaka City.
Avoid using copper cable as much as
possible and extend fibre optic cable up to the
customer premises i.e. building or even to the home (FTTB or FTTH). Optical fibre is less costly than that of copper cable and its
maintenance is easy with less chance of stolen/disturbed by other service
providers. Optical fibre offers a huge bandwidth with
which BTCL will be able to offer voice, video and data service (Internet)
simultaneously with a single pair of cable.
Introduce
NGN (Next Generation Network) based architecture to facilitate IP (Internet
Protocol) based node/end user identification
with QoS (Quality of Service) enabled, which
means customer will enjoy services “ as
you pay” basis : better services at an affordable price . It is possible for
the customer to achieve more value for their money with graded service quality:
pay more for better service.
v
Within the scope of
the project BTCL has taken plan to install:
Two Soft Switches to
be operated at hot standby mode, one to be
installed at Sher-E-Bangla
Nagar Telephone Exchange building and another at Ramna
Telephone Exchange building, Dhaka. Soft Switch acts as the Media Gateway
Controller.
Seven Trunk Gateways (TGWs) at SB Nagar, Ramna, Nilkhet,Moghbazar,
Gulshan, Mirpur and Uttara Telephone Exchange Buildings. TGWs
will be used to connect with other existing or forthcoming digital exchanges
(circuit switched or packet switched).
188 (one hundred and
eighty eight) Access Gateway (AGW) will be installed in different places of Dhaka city of different equipped
capacities. AGWs will be used to connect customers
and be located near to the customer’s premises.
7(Seven) GPON OLTE
(Gigabit Passive Optical Network, Optical Line Terminating Equipment) one per
TGW site. GPON OLTEs will be used to extend FTTH or
FTTB facility.
