INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORT
I have prepared this report as an essential requirement for the completion of the degree of
Bachelors in Business Administration & Information Technology (BBA-IT). It has to be written
after the completion of seven weeks internship, which is a necessary part of the degree
completion with the aim to provide the students with actual life experience and use their
knowledge in practical.
1.1
Reason for selecting the specific industry
The Telecom Sector is spreading all over the world and it is going to be the essential part of the
lives of the humans. It is going through a process of rapid change in the world of technology.
In line with global trend and for meeting the emerging demand, major initiatives have been
taken by PTCL too to upgrade its network and also to introduce a range of new value added
services like Broadband and IPTV. And so I have also selected their department of Multimedia
& Broadband for my Internship.
1.2
Purpose of the Internship
There are many reasons:

1. To fulfill the requirements for the degree of the Bachelor of Business Administration &
Information Technology, a four year program from the University of Science &
Technology Bannu.
2. To see the practical world of what we studied during the four years program.
3. To understand how the practical organizations apply the knowledge of the theories.
4. To study the organization for its function and analysis on the basis of the study.
5. To make recommendations on the basis of the study done.

Section 1
Chapter No. 1
ii. The internees are not provided with opportunities of doing things themselves
during internship, making it difficult for them to understand technical things.
iii. Limited Financial and Technical Resources also affected the study. Such as
traveling to customer premises in the field work and the advertising were done by
the internees own expense.

The purpose of NOC is:
To control, monitor and manage the entire PTCL Network

To enhance and optimize Network Management through a transparent and
centralized platform
To create a highly available, adaptable and fault resilient network that can meet
the market demand and provide customer satisfaction
clxii.
clxiii. Due to the absence of a NOC, PTCL currently faces serious operational
challenges:
20
Section 1
Chapter No. 3
Structure of PTCL
Since there is no centralized network management, fault resolution is ad hoc and

inefficient, service restoration takes a long time
There is no mechanism for root cause analysis
clxiv.
clxv.
Through the NOC PTCL have been able to address these issues with:
A complete convergence of entire Network on a single platform

Proactive identification and resolution of faults through:
Real-time Network Monitoring & status visibility.
PTCL have been able to increase network availability through:
Enhanced Quality of Service and centralized performance statistics and

reporting mechanism.
Increased Accountability and Transparency
Through escalation policies, work orders and maintenance of secure

activity logs

Working
Server
The servers located at different places in Pakistan gets data from the Internet. They are connected
to the whole world and through them, the Pakistani Nation connect to the Internet.
DSLAM (Digital Subscribers Line Access Multiplexer)
(Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited, 2009, pp. 9-10)
The DSLAM at the access provider is the equipment that really allows DSL to happen. A
DSLAM takes connections from many customers and aggregates them onto a single, high
capacity connection to the Internet. DSLAMS are generally flexible and able to support multiple
types of DSL in a single central office, and different varieties of protocol and modulation in the
same type of DSL. In addition, the DSLAM may provide additional functions including routing
or dynamic IP address assignment for the customers.
The DSLAM provides one of the main differences between user service through ADSL and
through cable modems. Because cable-modem users generally share a network loop that runs
through a neighborhood, adding users means lowering performance in many instances. ADSL
provides a dedicated connection from each user back to the DSLAM, meaning that users wont
see a performance decrease as new users are added until the total number of users begins to
saturate the single, high-speed connection to the Internet. At that point an upgrade by the service
provide can provide additional performance for all the users connected to the DSLAM.
MDF (Main Distribution Frame)
(Sajjad Imtiaz, 2008-09)
MDF stands for Main Distribution Frame. The Basic function of MDF is to interconnect the
main equipments which are present inside the exchange with the cables which are going to the
subscriber (customer).
The wire coming from MDF and Cable Chambers is called as Primary Wire. The Primary
wire may contain 200 up to1200 pairs.
28
Section 2
Chapter No. 4
Construction of MDF
MDF is actually a long steel rack which is accessible from both sides. On one side of the
steel rack Termination blocks are arranged horizontally and at the other side the termination
blocks are arranged vertically.
Cables coming from exchange (Switch room) are terminated at the horizontal blocks
whereas cables coming from external network are terminated at vertical blocks.
Inside Plant
MDF is actually the point where the Local Exchange ends, so the Local exchange and MDF are
the basically Inside Plant.
Outside Plant
All the cables, towers, poles, cabinets till the DP are referred as the Outside Plant.
Cabinet
Its a metallic bar from which further connections to the subscribers are given.
The wire coming out of the cabinet to the DP is called as Secondary wire.
DP:
DP is abbreviation of Demarcation Point. One DP contains 10 connections or pairs of wires
coming from it, which go towards 10 subscribers. The wires which are coming out of DP are
called as Drop Wires. DP is located at the Telephone Pole.

(TSTV), Parental Control, Electronic Program Guide (EPG), Global Television Channels,
Video on Demand (VoD), Near Video on Demand (NVoD) and many more interactive
features.
Time Shift Television (TSTV)

Time Shift Television is an exciting feature that allows viewers to playback live TV
channels at any time they want. So when the viewer misses an important part of a
movie, a play or a sporting event, he can view it by rewinding that particular channel
(displaying the symbol
), watching the missed part and then coming back to live
action. This function will be available to the TV viewers for the first time in Pakistan
and only through the PTCL Smart TV service.
Parental Control

EPG (Electronic Program Guide)

Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is an extremely responsive and feature-rich
application that manages viewer interaction during channel and program selection. It is
an on-screen guide to schedule broadcast television programs, allowing viewers to
navigate, select, and discover content by time, title, channel, genre, etc, by use of their
remote control. It also provides access to billing details, changing password and
managing favorites.
VOD (Video On Demand)
Video on Demand is a service that provides end users to interactively request and
receive videos. VOD permits a customer to select a program from a catalogue using
EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The play out of the selected movie starts nearly
instantaneously on the customer's TV. A film that is chosen, for example, will be
available for multiple viewing during 24 hours without any extra charge.
NVOD (Near Video On Demand)
NVOD is another exciting feature working like a community TV Channel. A number of
channels are allocated for NVOD. Popular or recently released movies and programs
are played on NVOD channels and are available to all Smart TV viewers. Difference
between VOD & NVOD is that VOD is a personalized service catering only to
individual needs, on payment whereas NVOD is like community cinema available to all
Smart TV customers at no extra cost. In case of NVOD channels, customer feedback
plays a pivotal role in content selection.
