User equipments are devices like mobile phones Jhandsets, WLL pphones,computers with wireless Internet connectivity and are mounted on telecommunication towers. The network can be that of any of the wireless communication technologies like GSM, wireless local loop, Wi-Fi, WIMAX or other wide area network (WAN) technology. BTS is also referred as the base station (BS). The abbreviation eNB for evolved node B is widely used,and GNodeB for SG.In electrical grids, they are generally used to carry high-voltage transmission lines that transport bulk electric power from generating stations to electrical substations; utility poles are used to support lower-voltage subtransmission and distribution lines that transport power from substations to electric customers. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Typical height ranges from 15 to 5S , though the tallest are the 380 m towers of a 2,656 m span between the islands Jintang and Cezi in China's Zhejiang province, The longest span of any hydroclectric crossing ever built belongs to the powerline crossing of Ameralik fjord with a length of 5,376 m (17,638 ft). In addition to steel, other materials may be used, including concrete and wood.TThere are four major categories of transmission towers: suspension, terminal, tension, and transposi (ANTENNA,REMOTERADIOS, GPS EQUIPMENTS)- RF towers are the backbone of wireless communication, as they transmit signals not only between mobile telephones and cell sites but also for a host of other wireless devices.Radio masts and towers are typically tall structures designed to support antennas for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television. Towers are typically located on high points such as hilltops or peaks so the signal can cover a wider area. With our customers increasingly using wireless devices such as smartphones and tablets and demanding more services and faster data, we are working on building more such towers.AE COMBINED ANTENNA AND RADIO) An active antenna is comprised of active electronic components, like antenna-integrated radio designs, which place the radio frequency modules next to the passive antenna in order to reduce cable lossesThis antenna can largely simplify the construction of radio sites and improves performance.It also allows the construction of radio solutions with individual antenna clements.Active antenna 5G enables stronger and betterconnections. Using larger 5G array antennas provides the system additional beamforming to overcome severe propagation challenges that are encountered. Active Antenna Versus Passive Antenna Design Active antenna Passive antenna User Device ) 4 )) i} wit Peat nie taste Oil Sp Digtd Sp hz _W~. A (=e an ===) BBUPassive antennas are antennas that have no amplification. Passive GPS antennas do not include a Low Noise Amplifier and are best suited to applications requiring a short distance between the receiver and antenna, Passive antennas require an LNA on the receiver.A passive DAS system involves one or more antennas that capture signal from a nearby cell tower. Smaller antennas designed to broadcast the signal then redistribute the captured signal across a facility. As an added bonus, they work to amplify or boost the signal — making it as much as 32 times stronger. GSM antennas, or LTE antennas, are used for wireless data transmission from 800 MHz to 2.2 GHz standard telecom frequency bands, These types of antennas are used for many telemetry or instrumentation applications in the telecom industry. The antenna in a GSM phone allows the device to communicate with another GSM antenna on a cell tower, which then relays the signal to another tower or to another cell phone.To We IN ty SWOT STRENGTHS ‘The brand’s competence gives an edge over capturing the maximum market in the industry and earning more profits. Hence here we go with the strengths as follows: Advertising: Celebrity brand ambassadors have boosted the brand to a great extent, Vi also has high brand visibility in the form of social media ads, television ads, and others such as banners, ete,© Customer Base: Vi is one of the most popular cellular service providers in India with more than 352 million subscribers. As of 2019, Vi had 403 million users worldwide. ‘¢ Extensive infrastructure: From its partnership with Airtel to build the Indus Tower, Vi has extended its infrastructure all over the country which is helping it in gaining new customers. ‘© Great Deals: Vi is known for the best big data plans. Whether it is a postpaid unlimited data plan or a 100 GB plan it continues to serve customers with great deals. Vi has a complete edge over the market when it comes to big data plans. ‘# Network Coverage: Vi has excellent network coverage. Its yearly growth rate is 1.1% in India. Also, according to the latest TRAI telecom regulations, Vi had the highest upload speed of 6.7, Mbps speed in May 2021 CHALLENGES ‘Weaknesses are aspects of a business or brand that have a scope for improvement, So let's check some of \Vi's major weaknesses: ‘© Outsourcing Operations: Outsourcing operations has helped in reducing its prices. This causes the risk of the company having to be dependent on some other companies which may affect its operations © High Debt: Vi has been under huge debt. This is because their acquisitions have been turning out to be bad investments and also high credit and low margins. ‘© Financial Losses: Recently, Vi is facing huge financial losses due to increasing tariff rates and Sim consolidation results in decreasing customer base, The government of India has also stopped supporting Vi and they don’t want to run the telecom. ‘© High Prices for Small Plans: Vi postpaid plans pricing seems to fall slightly on the higher side which is comparatively expensive for people in India to afford it. Vi's competitors like Jio seemed to have an upper hand when it comes to budgeted calling and data plans ‘© Reliance in Indian Market for Major Revenue: As Vi has its main headquarters in India it is providing services more efficiently and gets major revenue from India, It is mostly dependent on the Indian market and hence lacks revenue worldwide. OPPORTUNITIES Opportunities for a company are the sectors in which a company may progress considering the current market situations and weaknesses of other companies‘© Strategic Partnership: As far as MNP is concemed partnering with smartphone companies is going to be the smartest strategy. This guarantees fixed cash flows in the future and would also ensure an increased customer base. ‘* Market Development: Considering the brutal competition in the telecommunications industry & shrinking margins, venturing into new markets/developing economies will prove to be a success for the company. ‘© Untapped Scope of the Current Market: Although it currently provides 4G coverage, such networks should be provided even in rural areas. Also developing more infrastructure to provide better connectivity. The company should aim towards providing these services to most of its regions, these would, as a result, help the company to achieve higher profits and an increase in customers, © Advancement in Technology: The current advancements in technology and SG trials could also prove an excellent success for the company. SG and LTE services are not yet very common in the country especially in rural cities, Vi can extend their services in this direction to get new customers, ‘* Affordable Plans: Vi should reduce its data plans so that people in India can openly afford them. It should follow its competitors’ pricing methodology to stay competitive in the market, CHALLENGES ‘© Competition: The continuously changing prices in the Indian market and the rising margins are adversely affecting Vi's business by a huge amount. Reliance Jio had started free data and calling a few years back which caused a huge disruption in the telecom sector, causing other companies to reduce their prices. ‘¢ Huge Losses: Vi shares fall by 8% and there is a massive loss of user base duc to increasing prices of plans and poor services in some areas. If such losses continue will let Vi face huge challenges to keep itself in the market. ‘© Government Regulatory Framework: As a result of the normal auctioning of spectrum & change in government policies, there is a possible threat to the stability of this market, as companies with, deeper pockets are more likely to gain from these auctions,DEVELOPMENT MODEL: PPP MODEL PPPs broadly refers to long term, the contractual partnership between the public and private sector agencies specially targeted towards financing, designing, implementing and operating infrastructure facilities and services that were traditionally provided by the government or its agencies. collaboration ventures are built around the expertise and capacity of the project planners and are based on contractual agreement, which ensures appropriate mutually agreed allocation of resources, risks, and returns. This approach and developing public utilities and infrastructure by the private sector under terms and conditions agreeable to both the government and the private sector is called PPP, BUILD - OWN - OPERATE: In this model ownership of the newly built facility will rest with the private party. On mutually agreed terms and conditions the public sector partner agrees to ‘purchase’ the goods and services produced by the proje BENEFITS TO THE STATES: © The key functional drivers of SG will unlock a broad range of opportunities, including the optimization of service delivery, decision-making, and end-user experience. Help establish a connected ecosystem that will enable better services in smart cities, electric transportation, and more © The advanced network connectivity of 5G will result in more remote-controlled systems in factories, which can provide much-needed afety in hazardous environments. Telemedicine will see a massive boost as video calls will become much smoother.5G will enable smoother access to the much-talked-about metaverse via AR/VR devices. © The advent of SG technology will lead to new job openings in network operations, maintenance, and other such sectors. DEMANDS TO INVEST IN THE STATES: + Unconditional support from the government. + Subsidy of raw materials. + Subsidy of equipment procured and machinery. + No toll tax for 5 years. + Electricity Duty Exemption for 15 years. + Faster clearances for land acquisition. + Corporate tax benefit for 10 years. CHALLENGES IN TELANGANA: © Telangana has the lowest literacy rates, even though Hyderabad is called one of the centres of education.‘© Jobs are also a major area of concer for the new Telangana administration, ‘© Even though Hyderabad is an industrial hub, the remainder of Telangana has not developed similarly © The effects of climate change affect farmers’ ability to grow the food we all need. Increasingly volatile weather and more extreme events — like floods and droughts HOW Vi CAN HELP THE TELANGANA: ‘© 5G connectivity can lead to even easier access to world-class courses from anywhere with. effective remote learning and online © The advent of 5G technology will lead to new job openings. © Asa domino effect, even the retail sector will see a boost from SG devices and SG applications. Additionally, as more products get sold, the servicing and resale industries will also see a boost ‘© Factories should also see massive automation which will bring in increased productivity, efficiency, and control. ‘© With new technology coming up, farmers too will benefit from the advanced weather forecast systems and better cropping plans.CHALLENGES IN WEST BENGAL -AROUND 263 VILLAGES IN WEST BENGAL ARE WITHOUT INTERNET.
