QoS Standard QoS Standard Implementation in Implementation in SD SD ITU Regional Workshop on Bridging the Standardization Gap for the Arab and Africa regions

26-27 September 2011

Algiers, Algeria

Prepared By:Engineers: Hassan Mukhtar, Samir Hassan

AbstractAbstract

Liberalization of telecommunication markets has made it possible for deploying cellular phones among rural & urban areas in SD;

More than 85% of mature population has become Mobile customers.

IntroductionIntroduction

Standardization is one of the essential building blocks of the Information Society.

NTC has become Spearhead to prepare & enforce adherence to the standards & Essential requirements

SD Communication SD Communication Infrastructure Infrastructure Optical Networks (20,000 klm)NGN All operators has been ready to

Switch to NGN & Future Networks.Wireless Broadband (3G , LTE ,

Wimax , outdoor Wi-Fi )ITRsNTC has founded NCTR (Nile Center

for Technology & Research)

QoS Local Standard in SDQoS Local Standard in SDQuality of Service parameters

Standard for Sudan.Application Forms for The Type

Approval/ Type Acceptance:I. Radio Communications II. Telecom Terminal EquipmentQoS Customer complaint form has

already uploaded in NTC websiteLocal SD Standards for

communication Towers specification.

QoS Campaign QoS Campaign NTC has held QoS campaign to measure

all communication Towers specification parameters in our country (One by one).

Specification safety parameters measured:

1.Radiation.2.Power.3.Towers height4.Noise

5.…….etc.

QoS Campaign CoveringQoS Campaign CoveringNow we've completed covering

two big states (Khartoum, Nile River) and has started in Aljazeera State.

We have planned to cover the hole country by the end of current year.

QoS Parameters Measuring QoS Parameters Measuring DevicesDevicesNTC has signed contract to

purchased Drive test system & Radiation meters system.

After we’ve get some complaints from customers who claim that some of the pricing are not according the advertised rates, We’ve studied some Billing Systems offers, we expected to implement it before end of current year.

Fast Growing Market for Fast Growing Market for Mobile and Wireless Mobile and Wireless CommunicationsCommunications Around 97% of voice and data

telecom subscriptions belong mobile services (About 22 million user) with avg. 30% annual growth.

Fixed voice and data telecom service market is only 3% without remarkable growth.

QoS (Type of Approval QoS (Type of Approval Needed)Needed)Smuggled counterfeiter

communication equipments deployed in the market.

sub-standards equip. on the market. Difficult market surveillance ,

absence of TA facility to prove sub-standards device’s characteristics.

Needs to apply Conformity, interoperability and electronic safety.

Type of Approval Lab Type of Approval Lab ProposalProposalNTC Sudan has prepared

proposal to build TAL.This project will assist to enforce

Conformity, interoperability and electronic safety(SAR, LVD and EMC)

It may support hole region(After MRA)

ObstaclesObstaclesSome obstacles may face

implementing of TAL in Sudan.Bureaucracy.High expansive cost, We looking

forwards to get hand support from ITU.

Conclusion Conclusion

Now we have published Sudan NTC QoS standards to all operators.

We need ITU technical help to implement TAL in Sudan.
