EXTRACTS OF Report of the Committee on

CDOT Report for USOF Scheme for provision of Mobile Communication

Services in uncovered villages

5. Benchmarking issue:

The committee has following suggestions for benchmarking issues:

C-DoT has done all the cost estimation for bench marking purpose based

upon GSM technology, however the TSPs can use any technology.

(i) Power :

a) Use of Renewable Energy Technology (RET) Solar will be

mandatory at all locations.

b) 2 days back-up for Cat-A and Cat-B and 24 hours for Cat - C.

c) DG sets and SMPS have not been included for benchmarking

purpose in all categories.

d) The above requirements are for bench-marking purpose. Service

Provider shall comply to TRAI uptime requirements by using

additional power arrangements, if required.

e) The committee noted that minimum power requirement for one

carrier CDMA site with Omni antenna will be 400 watts

(Approximately).

(ii) Backhaul :

C-DoT had not taken into account provision of using satellite backhaul in

the absence of terrain based information. Initial estimation suggest that

25% of sites in Arunachal Pradesh/ Andaman & Nicobar Islands, 10% in

Himachal Pradesh/ Jammu & Kashmir, 5 % in Maharashtra and 2% of

sites in other states can be considered using VSATs. However C-DoT may

further fine tune the estimation.

C-DoT has proposed integrated microwave backhaul for category A1, A2

& B.. It is not mandatory for TSP to buy BTS equipment with integrated

backhaul as separate links can be installed depending upon requirement.

It is also important to note that despite passage of about 17 years from the

advent of mobile services in the country, over 50,000 villages remained

uncovered. Therefore, it is expected that in many cases more hops of

microwave link may be required or satellite link (VSAT) may be needed or

long OFC links may be needed to connect to the BSC of TSP. USOFA has

to decide how bench marking is to be done in such cases i.e. whether

of 20

single end cost of m/w link, VSAT link or OFC terminal is to be considered

or any other alternative is to be considered.

If VSAT link is used for backhaul, the link capacity will depend upon the

BTS configuration as detailed below-

BTS Category Backhaul Link Capacity Satellite Link Capacity

A 256 Kbps 128 Kbps

B 384Kbps 192 Kbps

C 768 Kbps 384 Kbps

These backhaul satellite link capacities are based on GSM technology

which can be used for benchmarking purpose.

(iii) Towers :

C-DOT has not specified any standards for Towers. It is recommended

tower design should be based on TEC GRs or as per design approved

from an organization like Structural Engineering Research Centre (SERC)/

TEC/ IITs for structural fitness, safety, load bearing capacity, ability to

withstand wind speed etc.

6. Recommendations: Salient features of various Network Elements being

recommended are as below. TEC GRs may be used for reference purposes if

any key technical functional requirements as below are not adequate:

6.1 Infrastructure Recommendations against Category A, B & C along with

Benchmark Costing Calculations at State Level

Table A: Category ‘A’ Infrastructure Recommendation

For the purposes of arriving at the benchmark, Category ‘A’ Equipment is

taken as based on GSM Base Stations

BTS to be equipped up to 2TRXs for GSM with Omni Antenna. It may be

further classified into Category ‘A1’ and Category ‘A2’. For CDMA equivalent

is single carrier BTS with Omni antennae.

In Category ‘A’, 50% Category A1 and 50% Category ‘A2’ may be assumed

Category ‘A1’ and Category ‘A2’ to have Ground Based Tower with a height

20 meter.

of 20

Category ‘A1’ transmit power of 2W and Category ‘A2’ transmit power of 5

watts at the antenna port subject to adherence to the latest EMF Radiation

norms of DOT with coverage radius of 1 and 2 Kms respectively.

To operate on non-conventional energy sources i.e. solar power

To provide voice communication, SMS and additionally support data

communication service with data rates of 100 to 128 kbps capability.

It must adhere to license conditions including the latest EMF Radiation norms

of DOT.

Table B: Category ‘B’ Infrastructure Recommendation

For the purposes of arriving at the benchmark, Category ‘B’ Equipment is

taken as based on GSM Base Stations

It may support 2TRX Omni for GSM or CDMA with 1 carrier Omni.

It may be mounted on a tower of up to 30 meters height and may transmit

upto 10 watts Power at the antenna port subject to adherence to the latest

EMF Radiation norms of DOT for coverage radius above 2 KMs and up to 4

Km respectively.

Should operate on non-conventional energy source i.e. solar.

It shall support voice communication, SMS and additionally support data

communication rates of 100 to 128 kbps capability.

It may use sectoral antennae depending on location of equipment and

distribution of population around it.

It must adhere to license condition including the latest EMF Radiation norms

of DoT

Table C: Category ‘C’ Infrastructure Recommendation

For the purposes of arriving at the benchmark, Category ‘C’ Equipment may

be taken as based on GSM Base Stations

It may support 2+2+2 configuration (GSM) or equivalent CDMA configuration

one carrier three sector(1C3S).

of 20

To have a Ground Based tower of 40 meters and transmit up to 20 watts

Power at the antenna port subject to adherence to the latest EMF Radiation

norms of DOT for coverage distances beyond a radius of 4- 6 Kms.

Should operate on non-conventional energy sources i.e. solar.

It must adhere to license condition including the latest EMF Radiation norms

of DoT

It shall support voice communication, SMS and additionally support data

communication rates of 100 to 128 kbps capability.

6.2 C-DoT report has provided the distribution of villages based on population as below:

SN Size of village population % of villages

1 Up to 1000 50%

2 Between 1000 - 2500 37%

3 Above 2500 13%

Based on the above population criteria, C-DoT was requested to carry out

state-wise analysis again to determine the tentative number of Category ‘A’,

Category ‘B’ or Category ‘C’ type of BTS. The state-wise categorization based on

the population criteria is given in Annexure B. However, the actual categorization

of the type of infrastructure required at a particular location will be governed by

many other factors such as area spread of a village/cluster of villages, the

population spread, terrain conditions and the availability of ancillary infrastructure

such as power, backhaul etc. Therefore, the population-based categorization is

just indicative in nature and actual deployment of sites from among the

categories worked out above will be subject to variation according to the actual

field conditions.

It is noted by the committee that TSPs have roll out obligations in respect of BHQ

and rural areas. Committee felt it necessary to point out that a condition may

perhaps required to be incorporated in the tender/contract that the BTS installed

under this scheme will not be counted towards roll out obligations under license.

Licensor / TERM Cells may also be kept informed.

6.3 Power Backup

The Load requirement after discussion with C-DoT for the various categories of

infrastructure is given in the table below:

Infrastructure

Category

Load of the BTS Miscellaneous

Load

Total Load

Category A1 100W 50W 150W

Category A2 150W 50W 200W

Category B 350W 50W 400W

Category C 800W 150W 950W

6.4 Battery

6.4.1 Category A1

150W is the load due to the equipment of one TSP

Days of autonomy assumed = 2 days

Battery Rating = (Load * Backup Time) / (Efficiency*De-rating Factor*Voltage)

(150W*24Hrs*2 Days)/ (0.95*0.80*24V) = 394.73 AH

Assuming that there will be some charging from Solar during cloudy days also,

the battery rating can be taken as 350 AH, i.e., two battery banks of 175 AH

each.

6.4.2 Category A2




(200W*24Hrs*2 Days)/ (0.95*0.80*24V) = 526.31 AH


the battery rating can be taken as 500 AH, i.e., two battery banks of 250 AH each

6.4.3 Category ‘B’




(400W*24Hrs*2 Days)/ (0.95*0.80*24V) = 1052.63 AH


the battery rating can be taken as 1000 AH, i.e., two battery banks of 500 AH

each

of 20

6.4.4 Category ‘C’


Hours of autonomy assumed = 24 Hours

Battery Rating= (Load current * Backup Time)/(Efficiency*De-rating

Factor*Voltage) = (950*24Hrs) / (0.95*0.80*50)

= 600 AH

Assuming that there will be some charging from Solar panels during cloudy days

also, the battery rating can be taken as 600 AH, i.e., two battery banks of 300 AH

each. The 24 hours autonomy has been taken because the villages are remote

and at the same time battery capacity is to kept low for saving on CAPEX.

6.5 A set of two batteries banks with each bank conforming to the following

specifications:

Table Battery Backup Recommendations

a. Battery Capacity: Two sets of each capacity-

175 ampere hours for Category ‘A1’,

250 ampere hours for Category ‘A2’,

500 ampere hours for Category ‘B’ and

300 ampere hours for Category ‘C’ type of infrastructure

b. Type: Tubular Valve Regulated Lead Acid maintenance free battery.

c. Output Voltage: -48V for Category C/-24V for Category A & B

d. The two batteries may be connected in the load sharing mode

of 20

6.6 Solar Panels for supporting the BTS load:

For Category ‘A1’ equipment Solar power system of 1658Wp is recommended.

For Category ‘A2’ equipment Solar power system of 2340Wp is recommended.

For Category ‘B’ equipment Solar power system of 4680Wp is recommended.

For Category ‘C’ equipment Solar power system of 6340Wp is recommended.

6.7Diesel Generator:

No Diesel Generator is recommended for all categories of BTS. Therefore cost of

DG set has not been taken for benchmarking.

6.8 SMPS:

SMPS has not been considered for benchmarking as all types of BTS will run on solar energy.

6.9 Antenna Technology Options:

An Individual Tri Sectored Cross Polarized Single Band Antenna or Omni-

directional antenna as per categorization of BTS is recommended.

The gain should be better than 9 dBi for the Omni directional antenna and 17 dBi

with 90° beam width for the sectoral antenna.

6.10Backhaul technology proposed as below:

a. Other wireless technologies like Wi-Max may also be used for backhauling.

For rugged terrains where laying OFC and getting LoS for the microwave

maybe a problem, satellite backhaul maybe used.

b. 2% of sites can be considered on VSAT backhaul with the exception of

Arunachal Pradesh & Andaman & Nicobar Islands with 25% sites; J&K & HP

with 10% of sites and Maharashtra with 5% sites being on VSAT in line with

TRAI Recommendation for Arunachal Pradesh.

of 20

c. The percentages for VSAT at state/Circle level as indicated in para 3.1(ii) of

this report can be reconfirmed from CDOT prior to benchmarking by USOF.

7. The CAPEX calculations done by C-DoT for Category A1, A2, B and C are

available in Annexure C1, C2, C3 and C4 respectively. The total CAPEX are

given in Annexure D.

8. Other Observations:

(i) The committee noted that the existing TSPs hold spectrum in 800 MHz,

800/1800 MHz and 900/1800 MHz bands. Many of the Circle (Non-Metro)

licenses will come up for renewal in 2015, 2016/2017 before the expiry of

the contract period with USOF. The band in which the spectrum is

available with the TSP after renewal will depend on the spectrum acquired

by it in auction. There is a possibility that such band is different than the

band used for deployment of USO funded sites. To ensure continued

coverage, a suitable condition may have to be incorporated in the tender

which should also indicate that cost of change of equipment /spectrum,

etc., if any, will have to be borne by the TSP. Further, suitable provision

may also be made for inspection of sites by DOT/ USOF in case frequency

band is changed.

(ii) C-DOT has done all coverage calculations based on use of 900 MHz

band. However, the committee noted that the same coverage

requirements arrived at by C-DOT will be met even if the 1800 MHz band

is used, with the same tower height and radiated power as there is margin

available w.r.t. the coverage designed by C-DoT..

(iii) Based on the Recommendations of the Committee contained in Section 3,

4, 5 and 6 as above, C-DoT was requested to rework the estimated cost

which now comes out Rs.3611 Crores (approx.). The committee has not

gone into details of cost specifics provided by C-DoT and the figures given

above have been used for comparison purpose. The Report includes

optimization of network elements including energy efficiency and solution

are given at State Levels instead of calculated/ designed at national level.

The Recommendations have taken note of TRAI Recommendations as at

Annex A w.r.t. improving telecom services in NE states and investment

plan dated 26/09/2013.

(iv) USOF may examine the applicability of PMA related Gazette Notifications

for this project.

of 20

(v) For the purpose of arriving at the benchmark, the equipment is taken as

based on GSM BTS. Recently, BSNL has floated tenders for a USOF

Project for Solar based low power BTS solution for LWE areas using TEC

GR (Cat 1). USOF administration may take into account tender results/

response also.

(vi) TSPs must keep provision for at least 2 mobile handset chargers in each

BTS site for enabling the customers to charge their handsets as availability

of grid supply is poor in these areas.

(vii) TSPs must ensure battery backup of 48 hours in category ‘A’ & ‘B’

and 24 hours in category ‘C’ even if different capacity equipment is

installed by them.

ANNEXURE - A Chapter XII:- Summary of TRAI Recommendations

12.1 The Authority recommends that USOF should ensure compliance to stringent timelines and in-built penalty clauses in USO funded projects. In NOFN project, USOF/BBNL should build-in severe penalty clauses for delays in its agreements with the agencies implementing the project. At the same time, USOF/BBNL should also incentivize executing agencies in case the work is completed before the stipulated timeframe. The USOF/BBNL needs to urgently re-assess the capabilities of Railtel to carry out the project and review its decision regarding the executing agency, if necessary. (Para 1.20) 12.2 The Authority recommends that, in the first phase, 2G mobile coverage should be extended to all remaining BHQs, towns and such villages which have a population of more than 250 in the NE Region. The State-wise list of all such villages, is placed at Annexure-V. It is further recommended that after execution of the first phase, the actual number of uncovered villages should be assessed and the remaining uncovered villages should be taken up subsequently. (Para 2.30) 12.3 The Authority recommends that the overall investment requirement for the suggested comprehensive plan for covering the telecom infrastructure gaps in the North East Region states would be approximately Rs 2918 Crores. (Para 2.59) 12.4 The Authority recommends that in case a service provider covers at least 80% of the habitations having population above 250 (as per 2011 Census) in the Assam and North East LSAs, a discount of 2% of AGR in the license fee should be given to such a service provider. (Para 11.6) 12.5 The Authority recommends that PGCIL and BSNL should lease their dark fibre in the NER to other TSPs who are interested in taking fibre on lease. These PSUs ought to re-engineer their internal processes so as to quickly respond to the demands raised by other service providers and should be able to provide the requested bandwidth/ fibre on lease within two months of the raising of demand. PGCIL should immediately reduce its bandwidth leasing charges in the NER to make them comparable to those charged in other parts of the country. (Para 11.8) 12.6 The Authority recommends that bandwidth charges for providing satellite connectivity to TSPs in the NER should be subsidized through USO funds. The amount of subsidy should be restricted to 75% of the total bandwidth cost; the remaining 25% of the bandwidth cost should be borne by the TSPs. The subsidy should be limited to 1 Mbps bandwidth for connecting remote BTSs to the BSC. In case of District Headquarters which have to rely on satellite connectivity for media redundancy purposes, the subsidy amount for the bandwidth should be restricted to the bandwidth proposed for such District Headquarters in these recommendations. (Para 11.10)

of 20

12.7 The Authority recommends that issues for allocation of spot frequencies for Microwave backhaul and clearance for setting up VSAT connectivity and BTS may be addressed on a priority basis by the WPC for the NER States and reasonable time frames (not exceeding two months) should be fixed for allocation of frequencies and providing spectrum-related clearances. (Para 11.11) 12.8 For the purpose of establishing connectivity within their respective service areas, the TSPs of North East LSA may be allowed to install microwave repeaters in Assam LSA and vice-versa. This will, however, be subject to non-interference from the other point-to-point links. (Para 11.12) 12.9 The Authority recommends that the TSPs having spectrum in the NER region should enter into Inter and Intra-Circle roaming agreements amongst themselves within a period of 6 months for all the BTSs along the National Highways that pass through NER states. In case they fail to do so, they should be so mandated by the DoT. (Para 11.13) 12.10 The Authority recommends that the Government should mandate all agencies viz. National Highways Authority of India(NHAI), Border Road Organisation(BRO), State Public Works Departments(PWD) etc involved in construction of National and State Highways to provide for infrastructure utility ducts along the Highways which can be used by companies providing utility services like telecom, power etc. for laying cables. (Para 11.14) 12.11 DoT should take up the issue of providing subsidy for installation of solar power units at telecom towers (BTS and repeater) with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). (Para 11.16) 12.12 The Authority recommends that the DoT should immediately take up this issue with Ministry of Home Affairs and DoNER to either obtain exemption for the movement of equipment and pre-identified personnel related to telecom services from the compliances of NOCs and road permits OR for establishing a streamlined system whereby a single common permit/NOC is required for the entire North East region. An option to be explored is that MHA initiate a centralized clearing system where clearances can be obtained from the concerned State Governments and given to the TSPs. (Para 11.20) 12.13 The Authority recommends that the State Governments of the NER may: a. Address the issues raised by the TSPs on priority so that they are encouraged to roll-out services faster in the region; b. Provide land for erection of Ground Based Towers(GBT) and Govt buildings for erection of Roof Top Towers (RTT); c. Ensure availability of commercial power for BTSs on priority;

of 20

d. Facilitate availability of sufficient diesel supply to the TSPs particularly during bandhs/strikes; e. Ensure that wherever BTSs are running on DG sets they are able to run round-the-clock so that the people get uninterrupted telecom connectivity; f. Set up a single-window clearance system for all telecom related clearances/NOCs like pollution/noise control certificate, environment clearance, site acquisitions, commercial power supply etc; g. Rescind the levy of taxes/charges on the use of DGs by TSPs; h. Facilitate optical fiber cable (OFC) laying in their States by allowing pulling of OFC on Transmission towers/poles of State Electricity Boards; and, i. Nominate a senior officer to coordinate with the TSPs for handling of any issue concerning telecom services in the States.(Para 11.22)
