Optical transport network to support the digital communications in Choclococha

Abstract

This work aims to propose a solution to the problem of the absence of telecommunications services, with adequate service quality and coverage, in the town of Choclococha, Huancavelica. To this end, we present the design and evaluation of an optical link as a backbone network and a wireless access network. It is an applied and experimental research in which performance parameters were evaluated. The independent variable is the optical transport network and the dependent variable is data communication. The latter is defined by two indicators: the throughput and the signal reception power at the users. Measurements of both indicators were made on a sample of the population, obtaining results that were validated with respect to the expected values according to specifications and regulations. Thus, themeasured throughput exceeds 40% of the data speed guaranteed by the telecommunications operator. As for the reception power, it exceeds the sensitivity level of the receiving equipment. Therefore, 80it is concluded that the proposed solution supports Choclococha communications with optimal speed and coverage.
