QoS Standard
Implementation in SD
ITU Regional Workshop on Bridging the Standardization Gap for the
Arab and Africa regions
26-27 September 2011
Algiers, Algeria
Prepared By:
Engineers: Hassan Mukhtar, Samir Hassan
Abstract

Liberalization of telecommunication markets
has made it possible for deploying cellular
phones among rural & urban areas in SD;
More than 85% of mature population has
become Mobile customers.
Introduction

Standardization is one of the essential
building blocks of the Information Society.

NTC has become Spearhead to prepare &
enforce adherence to the standards &
Essential requirements
SD Communication Infrastructure
Optical Networks (20,000 klm)
 NGN
All operators has been ready to Switch to
NGN & Future Networks.
 Wireless Broadband (3G , LTE , Wimax ,
outdoor Wi-Fi )
 ITRs
NTC has founded NCTR (Nile Center for
Technology & Research)

Sudan Fiber Optic Networks
QoS Local Standard in SD
Quality of Service parameters Standard for
Sudan.
 Application Forms for The Type Approval/
Type Acceptance:
I. Radio Communications
II. Telecom Terminal Equipment
 QoS Customer complaint form has already
uploaded in NTC website
 Local SD Standards for communication
Towers specification.

QoS Campaign
NTC has held QoS campaign to measure all
communication Towers specification parameters
in our country (One by one).
 Specification safety parameters measured:
1. Radiation.
2. Power.
3. Towers height
4. Noise

5.
…….etc.
QoS Campaign Covering
Now we've completed covering two big
states (Khartoum, Nile River) and has
started in Aljazeera State.
 We have planned to cover the hole
country by the end of current year.

QoS Parameters Measuring Devices
NTC has signed contract to purchased
Drive test system & Radiation meters
system.
 After we’ve get some complaints from
customers who claim that some of the
pricing are not according the advertised
rates, We’ve studied some Billing Systems
offers, we expected to implement it
before end of current year.

Fast Growing Market for Mobile and
Wireless Communications
Around 97% of voice and data telecom
subscriptions belong mobile services
(About 22 million user) with avg. 30%
annual growth.
 Fixed voice and data telecom service
market is only 3% without remarkable
growth.

QoS (Type of Approval Needed)
Smuggled counterfeiter communication
equipments deployed in the market.
 sub-standards equip. on the market.
 Difficult market surveillance , absence of
TA facility to prove sub-standards device’s
characteristics.
 Needs to apply Conformity,
interoperability and electronic safety.

Type of Approval Lab Proposal
NTC Sudan has prepared proposal to
build TAL.
 This project will assist to enforce
Conformity, interoperability and
electronic safety(SAR, LVD and EMC)


It may support hole region(After MRA)
Obstacles
Some obstacles may face implementing of
TAL in Sudan.
 Bureaucracy.
 High expansive cost, We looking forwards
to get hand support from ITU.

Conclusion
Now we have published Sudan NTC QoS
standards to all operators.
 We need ITU technical help to implement
TAL in Sudan.

Thanks for listening
