 Telecommunication

 Telecommunication is communication at a distance

utilizing technology such as a telephone, through a
medium such as fiber optics, radio waves, E1, etc.

 Communication can be voice or data.

 Mode of Telecommunication in NNPC

 NNPC uses a medium of telecommunication based

on how suitable and effective it is for the purpose.

SOME MEDIUM OF TELECOMMUNICATION

UTILIZED IN NNPC includes:

• Fiber optics cable

• Radio waves
• E1 etc.
 FIBER OPTICS MEDIUM
• Fiber Optics CABLE technology is used for
communication over very long distances between
two NNPC subsidiaries (e.g. between CHQ and
KRPC).

• Fiber Optics serves the purpose of thousands of

ordinary cables.

• Fiber Optics cables consists of eight wire strands

of glass material and a protective covering.
 RADIO(cellular) WAVE MEDIUM

 NNPC subscribes to
commercial network
providers to allow for land-
line to cellular calls and

 E1 PLATFORM(MEDIUM)

 E1 Prepaid landline commonly known as (PRI) is a

digitalized form of landline service that allows
multiple voice calls at the same time.

 This type of solution is suitable for big organizations

(e.g. NNPC) that Have high traffic in terms of incoming
and outgoing calls

 This type of solution is the model adopted by NNPC

within the towers for landline calls.
 E1 TELECOM. PLATFORM

Communication occurs via E1 within NNPC towers.

through the use of certain equipment such as;

 SIEMENS HICON,
 modular jack,
 telephone boxes and
 pair cables

all connected in a subscriber-main system

monitored in an Equipment room.
