3. Introduction
• Graduate Training is an important phase of a student life. A well
planned, properly executed and evaluated industrial training helps
a lot in developing a professional attitude. It develops an
awareness of industrial approach to problem solving, based on a
broad understanding of process and mode of operation of
organization.
• During a period of Six months training at Orange Jordan (OJO),
most of the theoretical knowledge that has been gained during
the course of studies is put to test.

4. • Orange Jordan is a leading provider of integrated communications services in the
Kingdom, with a broad lineup of fixed, mobile and Internet services and an
expanding customer base now exceeding 4 million. Today, the company constitutes
the backbone of Jordan’s ICT landscape.
• Shortly after, the operator also became the first in the Kingdom to introduce 4G
connectivity in several areas in Amman preceding the network’s full launch. This
has allowed Orange subscribers to experience the many benefits of 4G
connections free of charge. In January 2015, the operator announced that it had
obtained the license for frequencies within the 1800 MHz from the
Telecommunications Regulatory Commission, in return for a JD71 million
investment. These frequencies were earmarked for the full-scale commercial
launch of its 4G network, which is to take place in 2015.

10. 1- User Equipment (UE)
The UE is the equipment used to access the network. The UE consists of two
independent parts:
• UMTS Subscriber Identity Module (uSIM) card
• Mobile Equipment (ME)
A SIM card is an electronic smart card which stores information about the
subscription. The ME is the actual telephone terminal

12. 1- Mobile Station (UE) –
SIM Cards
A key feature of the 3G standard is the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A
SIM card contains information about the subscriber and must be plugged into the
ME to enable the subscriber to use the network.
The SIM stores three types of subscriber related information:
• Fixed data stored before the subscription is sold: e.g. IMSI,
authentication key and security algorithms.
• Temporary network data: e.g. the location area of the subscriber and
forbidden PLMNs (Public Land Mobile network)
• Service data: e.g. language preference, advice of charge

21. 3G Handover Events
TrainingReportPresentation

Main 3G Handover events:
1. E1a: a Primary CPICH enters the reporting range, i.e. add a cell to active set.
2. E1b: a primary CPICH leaves the reporting range, i.e. removed a cell from
active set.
3. E1c: a non-active primary CPICH becomes better than an active primary
CPICH, i.e. replace a cell.
4. E1d: change of best cell.
Active Set:
is defined as the set of 3G Cells that the UE is simultaneously connected to it.
Usually the maximum number of cells in active set can be 3

32. • A data center is a facility used to house computer
systems and associated components, such
as telecommunications and storage systems.
• It generally includes redundant or backup power
supplies, redundant data communications
connections, environmental controls (e.g., air
conditioning, fire suppression) and various security
devices. Large data centers are industrial scale
operations using as much electricity as a small
town

40. Optical Fiber
An optical fiber ( or fiber ) is a glass or plastic
fiber that carries light along it’s length.
It has two main component layers: A Core & A
Cladding.
Light is kept in the “core” of optical fiber.
Cladding is for the protection of fiber.
TrainingReportPresentation
40
42. A fusion splice is a way of joining two fiber cores by
melting the ends together using an electric arc.
A splicing machine is used because an extremely high
degree of accuracy is needed, the machine first has to
align the cores and then apply the exact amount of heat
to melt the ends before pressing them together.
Splicing can be carried out using a mechanical splice but
these only hold the fiber ends together, precisely aligned
but not permanently joined
TrainingReportPresentation
42
43. • FUSIONSPLICINGSTEPS
• There are four basic steps to fusion splicing
1 - Strip back all coatings down to the bare fibers
and clean using isopropyl alcohol.
2 - Cleave the fibers using a precision cleaving tool
and put the heat shrink tube on to one of the ends.
3 - Fuse the fibers together in the fusion splicer.
4 - Put the heat shrink protector on the fiber joint.

45. • Optical Time domain Reflectometer
TrainingReportPresentation
45
46. • OTDR Working Principle (1)
• OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is a
versatile portable instrument that is used widely
to evaluate the characteristics of an installed
fiber optic link.
• It also measures optical fiber parameters such as
attenuation, length, optical connector and
splices loss.
• OTDR technology is designed to provide a single
ended test of any cable.
TrainingReportPresentation
46
47. OTDR Working Principle (2)
• The resulting signal forms a graph called a
TRACE. The trace is a visual representation of the
backscattering coefficient created by the OTDR
to determine the “events.” The trace shows the
“events” on the fiber optic link such as breaks,
splice loss, bends, attenuation and distance

requirements, start to select site.
When confirming the site, consider the following information:
• Original network condition
• Population distribution and local custom
• City structure and town distribution
• Main streets and traffic flow

56. • Distributed Antenna Systems
• A distributed antenna system, or DAS, is a
network of spatially separated antenna nodes
connected to a common source via a transport
medium that provides wireless service within a
geographic area or structure.
TrainingReportPresentation

59. • Pico Repeater
• The Pico Repeater is a bi-directional amplifier used to enhance
signals between a mobile and a base station in a mobile
network. It has been designed to increase signal strength in
small and medium sized areas such as offices, shops, and
basements. By boosting the signal level the Pico Repeater
increases indoor coverage and allows high data rate
connectivity.
TrainingReportPresentation
59
60. • Andrew MRx18 gives designers a simple tool to solve their
small area coverage and performance issues, The MRx18 are
easy to install. The RF link (donor) towards the base station is
typically fed from an outdoor antenna while the coverage area
is fed by an indoor antenna. The opportunity to adjust the
pass-band of repeater helps to cover any specific segment or
frequency band.
TrainingReportPresentation

62. • CEL-FI
• Cel-Fi is a smart signal booster designed to eliminate in-
building dead zones and improve indoor mobile phone
reception for 3G and 4G voice and data. Cel-Fi can create a
large coverage bubble which automatically adjusts to the size
of the indoor environment served - making it ideal for multi-
level homes and medium sized businesses.
