1. Necessary Background
1.1 Background bout Telecom Egypt Company:

Telecom Egypt Company in the last 2 years have strategic project called MSAN
(Multi Service Access Node) Project. All Sectors inside Telecom Egypt Company like
(switching , transmission , Power , O&M …..etc.… ) are working in this project

There are many purposes of this project which are:

 Replace the old and exhausted copper network with fiber network. This will
lead to reduce the theft of copper cables in addition to unlimited bandwidth
of fiber cables.

 Replace the Exchange Building with a cabinet and this lead to saving the cost
of constructing a new Exchange.

 MSAN Cabinet Support ADSL Service of ISP (internet Service Provider)

Companies and expanding of MSAN Cabinet will lead to expanding in
internet service in Egypt especially in Delta and Upper Egypt.

 MSAN will work as a backhaul for the Telecom Egypt Mobile Network (which
is still under Negotiations with NTRA)

So for the above reasons MSAN Project is the most strategic project for Telecom
Egypt Company in the last 2 years and perhaps for the next 3 years.

1.2 Background bout me:

 I work in the transmission execution sector and the role of my sector is to

deliver the bandwidth required for MSAN Cabinets.

 In simple words deliver band width to MSAN Cabinet means installing Shelf
Equipment that contains GE (Giga Ethernet) Cards in the nearest exchange to
MSAN Cabinet to establish a connection between the MSAN Cabinet and the
Soft Switch where the subscribers exist through the backbone of Telecom
Egypt.

2. Project Description

2.1 Project Goals /Objectives

1. Establishing Core Network (DWDM Ring) of TE Backbone with 100G

instead of 10G in sharkia Governorate by the end of October 2015.

 The Core Network consists of sites (Belbes – Zazig West – Abo

Hamd).where the (1830 DWDM Shelves) will installed and tested.

 There is another benefit of this DWDM Ring which is to connect the 75

MSAN Cabinets (2015 Q4 MSAN Plan)to Sidi Gaber Soft Switch.

2. Achievement of Telecom 2015 quarter 4 (Q4) Plan to deliver bandwidth

required for 75 MSAN Cabinets in Sharkia Governorate During 4 Months
Starting From 1 July 2015 To 30 Oct. 2015

 This objective will achieved by installing and testing 1662 SDH Shelves
with GE Cards ) in sites (Kafr Agiba - Meet Habib - Qasaseen EL Azhar ).

 The Bandwidth Required for the 75 Cabinets should be available at the

end of October 2015 because the Process of Fiber pulling and splicing
from MSAN Cabinet to nearest exchange will start after the availability
of Bandwidth so the Bandwidth should be available before the end of
Q4 by 2 months

2.2 Project Budget

The project budget is 300,000 $.

 3. WBS

The WBS (Work Break down Structure) of PO6 (Delta Mesh Network) project consists of the following
phases:

Phase Description

Project Milestones Contains two Activities which are (Start Project &End Project)

-Issue a tender with a specific service/equipment demand of TE Company to select a vendor.

Contracting
- Review offers from all vendors and then select one vendor and sign the contract to deliver
the materials and equipment.

-Assign places (rooms) for equipment installation.

Sites Survey -Decide requirements for rooms preparations like (painting, false ceiling, raised floor ….etc.).

-Decide Requirements of both Power Needed to feed equipment and HVAC(Air Conditions).

Sites Preparations Perform all sites preparations needed according to signed survey report

Equipment Delivery Receive all the contracted requirements with check list approved

Installation Install all project equipment

Commissioning Pre-test , SW installation, Equipment test, Integration and traffic test

Acceptance Issue and sign of PAC (Primary Acceptance Certificate )

 9. Problems and Actions

Sn Problem Action

 I announced Alcatel Company that we will stop

During installation phase of some sites in the project
Alcatel company delivers parts of installation
1 materials required to complete the sites installation
so the installation phase will be take more periods
than planned.
the installation and Alcatel will bear the penalty
if she did not bring all the materials required at
planned time.
 Alcatel Responded quickly and bring the
materials required as planned.

 I ask them to write this refuse in an official letter

to me
During installation phase operation and
 I send this letter to planning sector to tell me
maintenance (O&M) Sector refused the Rack
2 what to do because he Rack Layout in the
contains two sub racks and want the main Rack
contract contains two sub racks.
contains only one sub rack
 Planning sector reply was to execute the
contract as it is and the installation continued.

 I invite the O&M engineers sector to a meeting

and ask them to enhance the fiber cables
During Commissioning phase There was high reading (attenuation ) or repair the fiber cable
attenuation on fiber cables on DWDM Ring so the where there is a multi cut in it that cause
3 attenuation.
integration and stability of the ring Tests can not be
done.  The O&M Engineers respond quickly and repair
the cable in 2 days. So the tests of DWDM Ring
were done.
