3.2 Backbone Network
Backbone network distribution is such that number of hops is minimal for all the
customers. The Internet received from Railtel is distributed using ICD. Then all
buildings, using IBD with Power Over Ethernet (POE) distributes the broadband to
every floor. The distribution network has centralised power for all ICD, IBD and
IFD.
Depending upon the distance between 2 building, within the complex, a CAT6e
cable or Optical Fiber (OFC) cable will be used for interconnection.
3.3 Floor and Apartment Level Distribution
IFDs are used to distribute within the floors. The IFD is a ruggedised unit with
power coming from the Backbone Network. Hence there is no AC power outlet
needed near to IFD. Hence backbone and distribution network fully works from the
centralised power source in every building.
3.4 Inside Apartment
The Ethernet signal from IFD is compatiple with computer, Laptop and Wi-Fi
routers. Unlike ADSL technology there is no need for a modem. Hence the
customer has full freedom to have their choice of network

computer. The user name & password can be programmed in the
computer and Internet will be available at the computer.
• LAN inside the apartment
◦ Either wired or wireless network can be setup by the customer. A router
for wired LAN and Wi-Fi router for wireless LAN need to be used. In both
the cases the user name & password to be programmed at the router.
Now the Internet will be available for all the computers, TABs and smart
