In today’s ever-connected hybrid world of mobile and fixed telecommunications services, planning and design of a robust network demands installation expertise and industry knowledge. A full understanding of the designed service is required, from its inception to the physical connectivity landscape needed to meet the capacity forecast and any network bottlenecks requirements.
According to Bloomberg, wireless providers say they need more airwaves to support booming demand and to prepare for the transition to data-rich 5G signals. But first carriers must focus on delivering 5G services that are compatible with 4G core networks. As demand for advanced 5G services grows, network service providers must update their networks in order to be ready for the more advanced 5G services that are on the horizon.
Aside from market demands, Telecommunications networks also are, by their very nature, quite complex to implement. Numerous factors are at play and each is critical to ensure seamless connectivity is maintained. For many sectors, uninterrupted data flows are paramount, whether they are within a major metropolitan area, or connecting remote locations back to a central hub.
Services and applications that coexist in the same pipeline with a large number of other networks (including legacy networks), is one of the main factors that can arrest its performance and plays a leading role in driving up complexity of its design and rollout. Here are some key parameters to keep in mind when designing, upgrading or expanding a telecommunications network:
Technology
What hardware and software is necessary to connect communication points? Increased use of broadband voice, data, and video services are requiring not only more robust networks with higher throughput but also having an infrastructure that has the ability to scale up to deliver them.
Channel Throughput
With the increased distribution requirements put on information systems, denser volumes of transmission, and the move to more multimedia, the costs of telecommunications are a significant business investment. Industry analysts see multiplexing and signal compression as an indictment for reducing costs.
Multiplexing is the sharing of a high-capacity link by a number of transmissions. Given the economies of scale inherent in telecommunications systems, multiplexing, or the sharing of a high-capacity link by many transmissions, can lower the unit cost of those transmissions. This is important to keep in mind when establishing or upgrading a network because the right infrastructure has to be installed to enable multiple lower-capacity transmissions to be channeled into a single transmission, which then the network splits at the receiving end.
Signal compression uses the link more efficiently by removing redundancies. To reduce transmission needs, redundancies can be removed at the sender site, transmit the compressed signal, and then restore the signal at the receiving end.
Installer Expertise
All telecommunication designs and installations have to comply with all state codes, follow Industry standards, and the best practices as defined and/or interpreted by industry agencies and organizations.
This is why having the right partner when installing or upgrading a telecommunications infrastructure is critical to not only enhance services, but also ensure uninterrupted connectivity coverage for business growth. For more than 30 years, telecommunication infrastructure installers like Hugh O’Kane Electric (HOK), lead by President Hugh R O’Kane; has become a leading telecom network installation and service provider for New York City and its metro area. The company has been upgrading, expanding and installing networks for a variety of public and private enterprises on a regular basis.
This institutional expertise Hugh O’Kane is able to provide to private and public entities is paramount in order to design and implement network projects that can successfully expand their service offerings to increase their market share and gain more customers. This lineage and industry expertise has afforded Hugh O’Kane a competitive edge because it has expert knowledge of an area’s infrastructure and is able to work within the required parameters of existing networks much more easily. In doing so, Hugh O’Kane is able to take the time required to provide an upgraded telecommunications infrastructure needed to ensure continuous, robust connectivity set up municipalities and private enterprises for successful growth.
