Summary:
This proposal provides a solution for the medical needs in the Sanjay Colony. We plan to create
a wireless network that will make medical aid in the Colony more productive and more accessible both
financially and physically. The Sanjay Colony does have medical services already, but with the number
of patients requiring aid in India there are not enough doctors to meet their needs easily. Because of
this a connection to other facilities where more help is available will be valuable.
Wired access does not exist in the Colony and because of this we propose to provide a wireless
networking solution will help provide aid to more people in the Sanjay Colony than ever before. The
network we plan on developing will require only marginal staffing and equipment costs and will provide
the staff within the Sanjay Colony with: a connection to medical staff elsewhere, video conferencing and
sharing of medical records with hospitals throughout India.
The tasks we have planned will be completed within a 2-month period at the end of which a
fully functional wireless medical network will be available to use to help care for the people in the
Colony.

(1)Introduction:
Due to a very large doctor to patient ratio in India, 1:1722[1] it has become a primary
objective of the Indian government to provide effective and efficient medical treatment. By
using WiMAX technology, they can achieve their goals through the use of telemedicine[2].
We are proposing a network which allows information to be shared more effectively in
medical systems between Faridabad and the rest of India. By deploying WiMAX, alongside the
other medical projects listed before, the medical staff in the Colony will be able to share
information more effectively compared to existing methods. Access to these medical resources
will be provided anywhere in the Sanjay Colony through laptop access or via wireless receivers
on personal computers once a WiMAX network is deployed.
This proposal will include: a background on the purpose of the network and the benefits
it will provide in the Sanjay Colony, an overview of our implementation plan of a WiMAX
network to serve the Colony, a proposed plan to develop this network, the methods to do so,
and a schedule of the involved work phases. A glossary is included at the end of this document,
and can be referenced for any underlined terms found within.

(2)The reason for our network:
The people in the Sanjay Colony are in need of more effective healthcare. The doctor:
patient ratio in India of 1: 1722[1] means that many patients do not have the opportunity to
see a doctor in person.
There are not many hospitals in Sanjay Colony, and those in the surrounding region are
inaccessible due to extensive distance or high price[3]. Consequently, a cost effective and
convenient solution is required.
WiMAX is much less expensive than competing 3G networking technologies. In greater
London a 30MHz band of 3G spectrum can cost as much as 9.4 billion dollars to license[4]. A
similar amount for WiMAX would cost 500 times less[5]. With that in mind, the amount of
bandwidth required for the Faridabad area for exclusive medical use will cost substantially less.
The medical needs of the Sanjay Colony require 1MHz of bandwidth to be licensed[6]. In the
Greater London example above, the price for 1 MHz of bandwidth would cost $625 000. As the
population of Sanjay Colony is around 40 000[7] people, the cost per person is about $1.30 per
month for healthcare.

(3)The Network Plan:
The WiMAX network we plan on constructing for the Sanjay Colony will include a
connection to a local internet service provider and a base station to transmit the signal so that
local clinics can connect wirelessly to the medical network. Through this connection, which will
be accessible for 10km radial area[8], they are linked to the internet service provider to
hospitals in New Delhi and throughout India. Please see Figure 1 for a diagrammatic
representation of the broadcasting range and the services, such as, telediagnosis, medical
conferencing, or ordering of supplies, provided by the proposed WiMAX installation.
The installation of this network will require the licensing of a microwave band and may
be inaccessible in certain remote locations within the Colony, but for all with access, it will
provide the poor with convenient, effective health care for a nominal cost.

(4)Implementation phases:
The phases involved in the installation of the network will include a; network design
phase, acquisition phase, deployment/installation phase and the training phase. Excluding the
acquisition and installation phases, which will be completed in succession, these tasks will be
completed simultaneously. A tabular schedule is provided in Appendix(A)
(4.1)Network Design Phase: (15 days)
Step 1:
Perform a wireless audit (5 days)
This phase will be done in Sanjay Colony. We will verify connectivity of wireless
services by travelling through the Colony to see where and how we can provide
additional equipment such as where refraction may be problematic and how to
place our reception devices to take this into account.
Step 2:
Test design in network simulators (5 days)
We will develop a simulation of our network in a computer database that will
allow us to test the positions and specifications we found in step 1.
(4.2)Acquisition Phase: (30 days)
Step 1:
Capitalize 1MHz of WiMAX bandwidth (20 days)

8. 5

Contact will need to be made with the holders of national property and/or
standards within India. Once we establish this we will begin negotiating for
bandwidth rights within Faridabad.
Step 2:
Obtain transmission devices from Motorola (15 days)
We will buy equipment directly from Motorola for Medical care; the equipment
is specialized for this and is available upon contact with Motorola[9].
Step 3:
Obtain network hardware from Cisco (15 days)
This will include the routers and switches to allow medical staff in the colony to
receive network access.
Step 4:
Contact an Internet Service Provider (10 days)
Airrtel in Faridabad is the I.S.P. we will begin contacting and negotiating with.
(4.3)Deployment/Installation Phase: (15 days)
Step 1:
Install Motorola transmission devices (5 days)
The equipment mentioned in phase 2 step 2 will be installed at a location, such
as the top of a building close to Airrtel with enough height to communicate with
the devices we will install in the Colony.
Step 2:

9. 6
Kyle Manel (Team 3) Network Proposal Submitted – March 28th
2012, NET2004
Install Cisco network hardware (5 days)
This equipment will installed in an office space close to the transmission
equipment mentioned in step 1.
Step 3:
Test network implementation (10 days)
Our testing step will include monitoring wireless communications throughout
the Sanjay Colony and verifying that connections can be established at locations
frequently visited by medical staff within the Colony.
(4.4)Training Phase: (40 days)
Step 1:
Train medical staff and volunteers for WiMAX use (20 days)
We will need to train medical staff to use the services and equipment we have
provided. Hardware installation is simple with easy to install USB devices, in
addition to this we will be training staff to use: 1) Webex software suite provided
by Cisco to allow video conferencing and 2) inventory software to track and send
medical equipment orders to the Colony.
Step 2:
Hire and train maintenance operators for equipment (40 days)
We will require staff to maintain the equipment purchased in previous phases.
This will involve physical realignment of any devices because of weather

abnormalities, update of devices as necessary as well as to maintain security of
the devices themselves.

(6)What happens now:
In summary, the WiMAX network deployment as described will meet the needs of the
Sanjay Colony by providing a convenient and cost effective way to increase medical services
with no additional manpower and with as little cost as possible.
A WiMAX solution does this by providing services easily to any interested party with a
low cost compared against competing 3G technologies.
We will require you to contact us before July of 2012 as our team will begin
development of other projects at this time and will no longer be able to provide our expertise
for this solution.
Please contact me at kmanel@connect.carleton.ca before this time.
