Telecom Recovery Plan

The recovery plan components:

1. Recovery.
2. Restoring / sustaining business operation.
3. Transferring Data back to Production Machines.
1. Recovery :
Once the infrastructure is in place it will be necessary to recover production data.
Minimize holes in data very important especially in a distributed processing environment where one
step could be dependent on one or more predecessor steps actions.
Then to identify the action to be taken when data inconsistencies are detected.
2. Restoring/sustaining business operation :
 All processing requirements and service level agreements need to be defined and
documented.
 Dependencies between processes also need to be defined.
 It is important to document the existing process and then build the plan accordingly.
 Note: remember that routine maintenance including backups should still be performed at
the hot site.

3. Transferring Data backup to Production Machines

 Production will need to shift from a hot site back to a permanent location.
 A process needs to be defined to manage this migration.
 Synchronize the machines to a specific point in time.
 It should also be noted that this is one of the more difficult tasks to test.

The telecom systems:

SDH systems:
SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a standard technology for synchronous data transmission on
optical media. It is the international equivalent of Synchronous Optical Network. Both technologies
provide faster and less expensive network interconnection than traditional PDH (Plesiochronous Digital
Hierarchy) equipment.

In digital telephone transmission, "synchronous" means the bits from one call are carried within one
transmission frame. "Plesiochronous" means "almost (but not) synchronous," or a call that must be
extracted from more than one transmission frame.

SDH uses the following Synchronous Transport Modules (STM) and rates: STM-1 (155 megabits per
second), STM-4 (622 Mbps), STM-16 (2.5 gigabits per second), and STM-64 (10 Gbps).
Our two equipment’s types of the SDH are Huawei SN 3500, 1500 is a new-generation optical
transmission system developed by Huawei. It adopts a unified switching architecture and can function as
an MPLS/MPLS-TP-based packet device or a TDM device. When working with other devices of Huawei,
supports various networking modes, including the pure packet mode, hybrid networking (packet + TDM)
mode, and pure TDM mode, achieving optimal processing for packet services and traditional SDH
services. Thus, efficiently transmits voice and data services over the same platform.

Potential Risks of the SDH systems, how to recover;

1. Application software failure.

To have a backup for every station and to be kept in a well know place, so as to quick restore for
the software.

In case of the NMS management failure we must have a backup server, virtual backup for quick
response

2. Node total failure :

Due to water floods or fire, to have a backup node to replace the damaged node, two backup’s
node available at MCC, one 1500 and one 3500.

3. Power failure
 In case of node power failure, to have a backup unit to replace the failed one.

4. Boards failure.

In case of any board failure, to have a backup board for replacement, to check the available stock
and to index it and to have it ready for any board failure

5. Data center disaster

In case of the data center disaster the SDH system will not be effected because it is in the field.

6. Building disaster

The most likely in build disaster for the SDH are floods or damage due human intervention, for the
floods , we must ensure that all the SDH locations are secured against flood by dikes…, to work with
intervention to identify the possible locations that can be vulnerable , so as to avoid the floods. For
the damage by human intervention, to check with the security for proper safety security or
protection.

7. Total System failure:

In case of total system failure, the communications between the stations, the HF system can be
used, and within the stations the VHF system can be used.

2. Node total failure :

 Due to water floods or fire, to have a backup node to replace the damaged node, three backup’s
node available at , the old H.Q .PABX at MCC and the new PABX at MCC , and the old Hot line PABX
and H.Q

3. Power failure

In case of node power failure, to have a backup unit to replace the failed one.

Solar Panel Systems:

Definition:

A solar power system is made up of multiple photovoltaic (PV) panels, a Dc to AC power converter
(called inverter) and a rack system that holds the PV panels in place.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are generally fitted on the roof. They should face in an easterly, northerly
or westerly direction. The panels should be tilted at particular angles to maximize the amount of
sunlight that hits the panels.

Solar PV panels on the roofs of homes and businesses generate clean electricity by converting the
energy in sunlight. This conversion takes place within solar panels of specially fabricated materials that
make up the solar panels. It is a process that requires no moving parts. In most cases solar panels are
connected to the mains power supply through a device called a solar power inverter.

Solar panels are different to solar hot water systems, which are also mounted on household roof-tops
but use the heat from the sun to provide hot water for household uses, in a similar principle like a hose
in summer contains hot water after a few hours in the sun.

 In case of any batteries failure, we must have a backup batteries for replacement, batteries are

HF (High Frequency) communications systems:

High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation[1] for the range of radio frequency electromagnetic

waves (radio waves) between 3 to 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter
band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred
metres). Frequencies immediately below HF are denoted medium frequency (MF), while the next
band of higher frequencies is known as the very high frequency (VHF) band. The HF band is a major
part of the shortwave band of frequencies, so communication at these frequencies is often
called shortwave radio. Because radio waves in this band can be reflected back to Earth by
the ionosphere layer in the atmosphere – a method known as "skip" or "skywave" propagation –
these frequencies are suitable for long-distance communication across intercontinental distances
and for mountainous terrains which prevent line-of-sight communications[2]. The band is used by
international shortwave broadcasting stations (2.31–25.82 MHz), aviation communication,
government time stations, weather stations, amateur radio and citizens band services, among other
uses.
