2.2.2.1 Introduction

Jabatan PERHILITAN is Government Agency whereby its objective to protect the

wild life and educate people on conservation of Wild Life in Malaysia. With its plan to
expand their Local Area Network in each branch, Allied Telesis solution is able to cater for
its scalability and future growth of its Local Area Network.

In essence, the solution is very simple: The L2 Gigabit Network Switch is connected
to the router in each of Jabatan Perhilitan branches in each state. This will provide Jabatan
Perhilitan with more usable ports on the Local Area Network. On the current network
layout in the most of the sites the hosts are connected directly to the router whereby the
router supports a limited number of Local Area Network ports. Adding a L2 Gigabit
Network switch to the network for its Local Area Network Expansion will provide Jabatan
Perhilitan with more usable ports in the Local Area Network whereby it is able to cater for
its future growth in the network.

2.2.2.2.1 Access Switch (8000GS/24)

The proposed Access switch is a high performance Gigabit L2 Ethernet
stackable switch. The 8000GS/24 provides high performance Layer 2 switching with 24
ports 10/100/1000 ports with four fixed 1Gbps SFP slots. It has two integrated stacking
connectors which provide a total of 20Gbps stacking bandwidth. It supports industry
standard CLI and Web Interface.

The 8000GS/24 supports VLAN tagging with up to 256 active LANs where
the switch supports Ports-based VLANs and MAC based VLANs. For added security the
switch supports Private VLAN whereby communication between ports in the same VLANs
are isolated and communication of these ports is only forwarded to the uplink ports. To
ensure additional protection in the network the switch is able to control access in the
network with protocols is such as IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication which only allows
known users to connect to the network. Unknown users who physically connect can be
isolated to a guest VLAN to protect the private network data. Access Control Lists can be
configured. To filter traffic coming in or out the switch.
 For ease of management, the switch supports SNMP v1, v2 and v3 protocol
whereby it can send SNMP and SYSLOG to the remote Network Monitoring Server or
Syslog Server.

Ms. Yasmeenyanti bt Baharudin

2.2.3.1 Introduction

CMC Engineering Sdn Bhd and General Dynamics SATCOM Technology are
pleased to present this preliminary proposal for a Troposcatter Communication Link for
the Telekom Malaysia (TM) project (Miri to Bario). CMC Engineering Sdn Bhd and
General Dynamics SATCOM Technology is turnkey provider of products, services, full
communication systems and networks for use in satellite communications and also the
Troposcatter applications. Most of our communication systems and networks are installed
in government and commercial systems worldwide.

The proposed system concept is based upon the SATCOM Technologies TM-20
Troposcatter Modem, which offers the best available performance in data rate, diversity
processing and Bit Error Rate. Complementing the TM-20 Modems have developed a
system concept utilizing Commercial, Off-The-Shelf equipment and maximum discrete
component redundancy , thereby maximizing flexibility, reliability and maintainability.
2.2.3.2 Solution Overview

Troposcatter or tropospheric scatter is a scattering of distant TV and FM radio

stations by the troposphere so that they travel farther than the line of sight. This effect
sometimes allows reception of stations up to a hundred miles away.

The phenomenon has been used to build communication links in a number of parts
of the world. Large billboard antennas focus a high power radio beam at troposphere. It is
a mid-way between the transmitter and receiver. A certain proportion of the signal is
refracted and received at similar antenna at the receiving station.

Troposcatter is an innovative high-speed technology that allows communication via

diffraction or line-of-sight in transportable, self-contained, field-configurable packages.
Troposcatter antenna feed system generates simultaneous dual beams in the elevation plane,
facilitate straight-forward terminal setup and operation with minimal equipment change and
minimum versatility. An auto-acquisition terminal control system provides deploy, acquire,
track and stow functions, as well as supervisory control of RF and base-band component
for streamlined terminal operation.

2.2.3.3 System Configuration

In order to properly develop a troposcatter communication system, it is best to

firstunderstand the goals and requirements needed and to perform a comprehensive link
analysis to define the topographical and atmospheric characteristics of the proposed link.
Basically, the goals expressed for this project reduce to :
Data rate (throughput capability)
Terrain and atmosphere characteristics
Operability
Reliability
Maintainability

Constrains are understood to be:

4.4-5.0 GHz Tx/Rx frequencies
Quad diversity (space and frequency) configuration
High redundancy/protection of keys electronics
99.9% availability
BER of 10-6
Link availability to follow ITU-R Rec 2557-4
Total data rate of 16 Mbps

SATCOM technology harmonized these fundamental goals and constrains in

the proposed solution. Dual VertecRSI 4.7-meter prime focus antennas are proposed
to provide the system link. The following table expresses the configuration of the
proposed system. Please also reference Figure depicting the block diagram for each
terminal. It is assumed the end user will provide the structures for mounting the
antennas at both ends of the link.

2.2.3.5 Block Diagram

Figure IX presents the proposed terminal block diagram for the Troposcatter link.
As noted previously, maximum use has been made of COTS equipment, with automatic
redundancy at the logical component level. The system is configured as Quad diversity
protected configuration (1:1). Our approach has incorporated 1:5 redundant converter sets
for each pair of TX and RX signal paths. Whilst this approach does add some additional
cost over single thread converter sets, it seems logical to incorporate redundancy here, just
as with the Modems and SSPAs.

This approach is robust and clean; maximizing system reliability and serviceability,
with readily available standard product components. The proposed system makes use of
1:2 SSPA sub-systems with integral switching networks providing automatic switchover in
case of a failed on-line SSPA, as well as manual signal routing to facilitate servicing.
Interfaces to the SSPA assemblies will be compatible with the existing terminal hardware.
Redundant TM-20 Troposcatter Modems are provided by way of two fully complete
stand-alone units combined with a Redundancy Control Switch. As described above, this
approach provides maximum dependability and serviceability, as there are no shared
functions between the two modems and individual units can be easily removed for servicing
or replaced by a spare unit. Each modem contains its own power supply and Rubidium
frequency standard. It should be noted that the TM-20 is constructed using the latest FPGA
technology and as such, has a relatively low parts count. As a result, the calculated MTBF
figure is in excess of 200,000 hours and the modem is even less likely to fail than other
system elements. Thus, a reasonable approach to a reduced cost solution would be to utilize
single thread modems rather than 1:1 redundant modems.

The TM-20 modems are proposed with an EIA-530 interface. If a G.703 interface is
desired, conversion between G.703 and EIA-530 is readily accomplished by way of an off-
the-shelf data converter. A Voice Order Wire handset is provided for voice communications
between the terminals and in the redundant modem configuration, switching of the VOW
interface is handled seamlessly in the Redundancy Control Switch. In addition to the VOW
channel, an asynchronous overhead service channel is provided, which also doubles as the
communication link for the Adaptive Power Control function, with the APC data embedded
in the asynchronous channel framing structure.

The TM-20 has an optional IP interface (plug-in) module which really opens up
much more versatile and powerful connectivity through the link. For example, the VOW
function could be easily handled by VOIP phone sets. Also, any number of different IP
devices could be connected to provide virtually any type of transmission from voice to
email to real-time video. The inclusion of IP interface modules for the TM-20s and the
addition of IP routers are expected to be achievable for reasonable cost in relation for a
dramatic expansion of capability and therefore offered for consideration. A General
Dynamics VertexRSI NetMAC Monitor & Control System is included, with Front End
Processors and terminals at each end of the link.In addition, the NetMAC offers powerful
data logging and report generation capability to provide historical information on link
operation. As is typical for M&C system implementation, the NetMAC will be custom
configured for this application in order to best meet the customer requirements.

Additionally, training may be provided to allow customer representatives to

implement additional and/or modified features as requirements may change over time.

2.2.3.7 Model MRF-1 4.7m Medium Range Fixed Antenna

Fig. XI : Model MRF-1 4.7m Medium Range Fixed Antenna

 The VertexRSI Model MRF-1 Medium Range Fixed Troposcatter Antenna
is used for Troposcatter or high-volume microwave application. The MRF-1 has
parabolic reflector with a diameter of 15.4 feet (4.7 meters). The antenna is
comprised of sixteen panels and radials. The assembly is terminated in the center
upon a vertex hub and A-frame that is mounted on the modular steel tower. This
creates a rigid, strong antenna that maintains its structural integrity and electrical
performance over the broad range of specified conditions.

The process of assembly and deployment is engineered for simplicity. The

reflector and feed system are assembled on the ground before being raised for
attachment to the support structure. The feed system is a dual-polarized feed and there are
additional frequency bands available. The reflector pre-fitted with fixture-controlled
attachment points for locating the feed assembly. The position of local point for tie point
can be restored reliably even after numerous installations and removals of the feed system.
This feature also ensures that if desired the operating frequency band of the antenna
system may be shifted by substituting another feed assembly.

2.3.1.2 UDgateway Overview

The UDgateway is an all-in-love WOC (Wide Area Optimization Controller)

designed for broadband satellite and WiMAX, to achieve LAN-like performance and
security and to reduce the amount of bandwidth required.
 The main idea for this product is using data compression method. Data compression
method is the process of encoding information using fewer bits (or other information
bearing units) than a specific encoding schemes. As with any communication, compressed
data communication only works when both the sender and receiver of the information
understand the encoding scheme. To achieve this condition, both sender and receiver must
use UDgateway.

2.3.2.2 EZ Blow Overview
Blown Fibre is a technology developed by British Telecom. It utilizes a lightweight
fibre unit and is installed using a flow of compressed air. As such, the force exerted on the
fibre is uniform throughout its length and this force is significantly less than the maximum
force present in optical fibre cable that is pulled. Accordingly, significant reinforcement of
the fibre is not required, making the fibre lighter and faster to deploy. This opens up a new
market for point-to-point fibre connectivity, rapid deployment opportunities and reduced
investment requirements for the same technology.

2.3.2.3 Direct Installation (DI) Into Duct

The 'basic' FibreFlow tube assembly has a wrap of soft temper aluminium as a
water barrier. It is soft temper so that under moderate stretching, it will not fracture. The
outer surface of the aluminium is adhesive covered, to bond it to the inside of the sheath.

The sheath is MDPE, 1.6mm nom thick, has good flexibility and moderate
toughness, such that it is ideal for use installed inside a pre-installed duct or subduct. Thus
we have a product with low weight, great flexibility, and low cost. It is in effect, an empty
fiber optic cable.

One advantage is that this product can be installed easily using standard cable
practice, with very low installation force (these lengths can often be pulled in place by
hand, ideal for low-tech countries) and there is no tensile risk to fibers, since they are
installed later.

2.3.2.4 Product Benefits

EZ blow Fiber units can be blown into EZ Blow micro tubes for out-door
and in-door network including riser and small diameter bend route.
Future proof and cost effective network by just-in-time fiber deployment.
Flexible network design and easy customer connection by extremely flexible
tube pathway.
 Quick repair and easy upgrade by simple blowing.
Reduced splicing and connecting by long installation distance and various
deployment options. (Up to 6km installation without splicing or connecting
is achievable)

DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 Discussion

Over this past 4 months, Ive gained a lot of knowledge especially in

telecommunication engineering. To be honest, I feel very lucky because CMC
Engineering Sdn Bhd (CMCE) offers a good platform to gained lot of knowledge besides
expose us for a real working life and learned how to communicate and dealing with
vendors. Besides that, Ive learned that team work is important in order to complete a
project. CMCE has adopted the Malaysian standard MS ISO 9001 : 2000 as the basis for an
effective Quality Management System (QMS). To achieve this certification, CMCE was
emphasizing their staffs to follow the ISO 9001:2000 Certification Quality Manual that had
been given to all staffs. All staffs have to obey and follow the process needed before makes
an execution.

During completing tender process, I faced a lot of obstacles such as compiling the
render documents as the tender requirement, need to submit before the dateline and must
compile and meet standard in company quality manual. More over, I also must cope with
the working environment which is totally different with college study life. Besides that, I
also have to face and dealing with lots of people characteristics.
3.2 Recommendations

I dont have a recommendation for the host company but a few recommendations
for UniMAP. They are :

1) All schools must upload lists of student when exactly date for the
presentation since not all students having their internship in or near Perlis.

2) For Diploma students, UniMAP should search for suitable place to undergo
their internship since some of the students did not assign to do proper work
as the InTra requirements.

3) CIC should update quickly the exact report format at least one week before
the last date for internship, easy for all students to compile their report
before the presentation date.

4) Fees for Diploma students should include the fee for college residence so
that it wont burden students to pay when they come back to UniMAP for
presentation.
 CHAPTER 4

CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, the objectives of this industry training were achieved. I was exposed to
practical skill, teamwork, communication skill and many others. Beside, I knew the
characteristic and behavior of worker in a company and I learned how to manage and speak
with them. They are always following the procedure as stated in ISO 9001:2000
Certification Quality Manual. Besides that CMCE is a company that care in the Quality
Management System and teamwork are the strength of this company. Overall, I can
conclude that, CMCE taught me lots of knowledge, not just for technical skills but also soft
skills such as dealing with vendor, increases my confidence to speak in english and build
teamwork spirit. More over, CMCE also taught me an entrepreneurship skill. Lat but not
list, CMCE is a very suitable place to gained lots of knowledge in telecommunication,
transportation, technology, oil and gas and also petrochemical industry.
