Expansion of telecom services across the country especially in rural areas is moving ahead at a fast pace. The introduction of WLL technology has provided a much-needed fillip to provide basic telephone services to far-flung and geographically dispersed rural locations in the shortest possible timeframe.
However, the task of getting relevant and timely information about the planned network is indeed onerous:
Which village has the service and its location? Clusters of villages together that do not have the service? Coverage of WLL villages with location? Population covered at any point in time?
There is no end to such questions...
Q. How do you make all this happen in the least possible time with the maximum clarity?
Ans. Through our ready to work software and digital maps.
5 simple steps
Install the software Install the digital maps of the districts required We construct the network based on information from GM office on paper We validate this information by visiting each SSA headquarter or by calling the DE from each SSA to circle headquarter We operationalize the system by giving training and making sure that users can maintain the data themselves
Readily available digitized maps of each district consisting of :
District Boundary shown as region Tehsil / Taluka / Mandal boundary shown as region Block Headquarters shown as points Villages & Towns shown as points Major Road Network shown as polylines Landuse of water and green shown as region
Mappls VPT enables you to:
Understand the coverage currently Plan for future intelligently Realignment of current assets like BTS to optimal location Achieve optimum BTS/BSC utilization
The system will provide basic administration information like:
SSA Boundaries SDCA Boundaries Complete exchange boundary in each Circle BSNL building locations across the Circle Location of BTS and its coverage Location of Microwave and its linkage The fiber network layout, planning for it as well as fault location.
Analyze and display thematically powerful information Tehsil wise/ District Wise:
Display all villages within the desired radius of the telephone exchanges or BTS locations. Total geographical area coverage (Covered Vs Uncovered both aggregate as well as percentage ) List of all villages covered (Covered Vs Uncovered both aggregate as well as percentage) Total Population coverage (Covered Vs Uncovered both aggregate as well as percentage)
In addition the system can also be used for line of sight feasibility using the contour network.
- 6 Line of sight (LOS) feasibility connecting a village in VPT network using the contour height of the village
Mappls VPT can be Web enabled in an Intranet or Internet environment by installing Web enabling software customized to suit BSNL needs.
