TELEPHONY
- Telephony is the traditional voice communication over a
wired/wireless network.
- It is communication facilitated by telephones
Mobile Telephony
Cellular Approach
- In cellular approach, each city or area is covered by a
number of hexagonal cells on a big hexagonal grid. The hexagonal cells
overlap at the outer boundaries.
- A hexagonal shape is maintained as it helps in maximum
transmission/reception.
- Each cell has a base station that consists of a tower and a
small building containing the radio equipment. The transmitter’s span of
coverage is called a cell.
- The mobile telephone interacts with the closest cell.
Introduction
The evolution of internet has led to the convergence of telecommunications
networks and computers. Benefits associated with World Wide Web (WWW) are
of great importance now-days: people are able to communicate via e-mail,
perform data transfers, online shopping, online auctions, etc. Traditionally internet
services have been provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) using modems,
with data rates limited to 56.6kbps. With the need for higher speed internet
services, Broadband ISPs emerged providing faster data rate based on Cable
and DSL technologies. In the United States, the Federal Communications (FCC)
defines as broadband internet service the one operating in 200 kbps in both
directions. According to a December 2004 report, the U.S. broadband penetration
is at 53.6%, far behind the penetration rate in other developed countries, e.g.
Japan and Korea [55]. Recently evolved IEEE 802.11x technologies have opened
a whole new era accessing the Internet wirelessly, giving traditional users the
advantage of mobility. The majority of existing technologies are localized, difficult
to deploy in accessible areas, time consuming, and expensive. The increasing
demand for wireless packet data services has opened a new market segment in
the wireless industry: the Wireless Internet Services (WIS). The WIS market
provides excellent opportunities to telecom operators and entrepreneurs to
become Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP). WISs can provide high-
speed services in remote areas and over cost elective solutions, overcoming the
limitations of wired and short-range wireless services.
The commercial wireless industry was built in a span of three decades. It has
evolved from circuit switched voice service to IP based voice and data services.
The importance of mobile services grew in people’s day to day life, since the first
service was launched. The fundamental idea behind launching mobile services,
was voice communication with an added feature of short messaging services
(SMS). Thanks to continuous growth in mobile subscriber’s base and the use of
internet, and the need for information retrieval “anywhere anytime” is now a
reality. During this period, many new competing technologies have emerged. For
example, we are witnessing operators integrating their 2.5G networks with
Wireless LANs (WLANs) to provide data services. With voice service fully
deployed, operators are not able to make additional revenue. The only additional
revenue operators can make is when subscribers switch service providers. In
order to enhance their average revenue per user (ARPU), operators started
powering data services. The need for higher data rates and new applications has
led the industry to think about future network configurations. Since wireless
companies already have stabled voice subscriber’s bases, provision of Internet
services opens a new segment for business and additional revenue. This
presents a challenge to the operators to re-design their business strategy and
enhance their capability. Our paper deals with third generation wireless
technologies (3G), i.e., Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) family
(GPRS, EDGE and UMTS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and
alternative technologies especially, Wi-Fi. We try to answer very general, yet
popular, questions among operators, not only in developed countries but
emerging markets as well. We approach the case as follows: (1) we compare and
differentiate the above next generation wireless technologies focusing on their
broadband internet services capabilities; (2) we identify and propose
technological, economical and behavioral factors that accept the selection of
wireless technologies for migration paths;
(3) We study the case of the national incumbent operator in India, and the
options this operator has in migrating to 3G systems; (4) we view the case from
the perspective of vendor, service provider and users; and finally, (5) we use real
options to value the most suitable to the operator migration path towards 3G. We
find that capital expenditure, future subscriber growth that directly effects the
revenue stream, and average revenue per user (ARPU) as the key explanatory
variables in the analysis. We believe that given that uncertainty around high
technological investments plays a key role in the deployment and success of
wireless networks. Therefore, the wireless industry is a suitable domain to apply
real options for investment analysis.

Objectives
INTRODUCTION
Reliance communications(formerly Reliance Infocomm) is the outcome of late
Dhirubhai Ambani’s dream of bringing about a digital revolution in India that will
bring to every Indian’s doorstep an affordable means of information and
communication.
"Make the tools of Communication available to people at an affordable cost. They
will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility", was how Dhirubhai,
as he was fondly called, spelt out Reliance Communications mission in late 1999.
He firmly believed the country could use information and communication
technology to overcome its backwardness and underdevelopment.
It was with this belief that Reliance Communications began laying its 60,000
route kilometers of pan-India fiber optic backbone in 1999. The backbone was
commissioned on December 28, 2002, Dhirubhai’s 70th birth anniversary, first
since his sad demise on July 6, 2002.
Reliance Communications network is a high-capacity, integrated (wireless and
wire line), and convergent (voice, data and video) digital network. The network is
designed to offer services that span the entire Infocomm value chain -
infrastructure, services, both for enterprises and individuals, applications, and
consulting. The network is designed to deliver services and applications that will
change the way we Indians live. It will harbinger a New India.
OUR FOUNDER
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the
true genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the
proud patriot, the leader of men, the architect of India’s capital markets, the
champion of shareholder interest.
But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of India’s greatest wealth
creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, India’s
largest private sector enterprise.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of
barely US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he
converted this fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossus—an
achievement which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the
first ever Indian private company to do so.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the
ordinary shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of
many of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the world’s
largest shareholder families.
Vision
Reliance communications envisions a digital revolution that will bring about a
New Way of Life. A Digital Way of Life. For a New India.
With mobile devices, net ways and broadband systems linked to powerful digital
networks, Reliance Communications will usher fundamental changes in the social
and economic landscape of India.
Reliance Communications will help men and women connect and communicate
with each other. It will enable citizens to reach out to their work place, home and
interests, while on the move. It will enable people to work, shop, educate and
entertain themselves round the clock, both in the virtual world and in the physical
world. It will make available television programmes, movies and news capsules
on demand. It will unfurl new simulated virtual worlds with exhilarating
experiences behind the screens of computers and televisions.
Network
Telecommunication networks are the infrastructure for provisioning Infocomm
services. All businesses today are dependent on telecom to continue their day-to-
day operations. The range and quality of services that can be provisioned is
determined by the quality of the network deployed.
Reliance's objective is to create value for our customers. Reliance will innovate
ceaselessly so that state-of-the-art technology can be leveraged to create
products and services that are affordable.
Access networks determine the services that can finally be delivered to customer.
Our network has wire line access technologies based on fiber as well as copper.
Fiber in the access network makes broadband services easy to deploy. The
wireless access network deployed for CDMA 1X is spectrum efficient and
provides better quality of voice than other networks and higher data rates. CDMA
1X also provides an up gradation path to future enhancements.
Technology
Till recently, he also held the post of Vice Chairman and Managing Director
of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), India’s largest private sector
enterprise.
Career :
Joined Reliance in 1983, as Co-Chief Executive Officer. Has to his credit many
financial innovations in the Indian capital markets.
Pioneered India's first forays into overseas capital markets with international
public offerings of global depository receipts, convertibles and bonds.
Directed Reliance in its efforts to raise, since 1991, around US$ 2 billion from
overseas financial markets; with the 100-year Yankee bond issue in January
1997 being the high point of his endeavors.
With an investment of over Rs 36,000 crore (US$ 9 billion) in petroleum refining,
petrochemicals, power generation, telecommunication services and a port
terminal, in a three-year time frame, he has steered the Reliance Group to its
current status as India's leading textiles-petroleum-petrochemicals-power-
infocomm-telecom player.
Member :
His Inspiration
The strongest influence in Anil's life is his father, Shri Dhirubhai Ambani. Here are
a few quotes from the legend himself. "Give the youth a proper environment.
Motivate them. Extend them the support they need. Each of them have infinite
source of energy. They will deliver." "Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep
revising my vision. Only when you dream it you can do it."
ANIL Dhirubhai Ambani Group embarked on a new corporate identity with its
Chairman terming the new logo and look as a 'leap forward' to reflect the spirit of
'new resurgent India.
Addressing the group's employees through a web cast on the eve of the launch of
the new logo and unveiling of new corporate entity, an exercise that may see a
spending of over Rs 400 crore, ADAG Chief Anil Ambani said: "Our new corporate
colors blue and red convey values of integrity, confidence, energy and passion.
"Our new symbol, Reliance Apex, is an embodiment of hope, optimism and
success," he said. The new identity for the 'third largest group in India' came in less
than a year of ownership settlement in Reliance empire between Anil and elder
brother Mukesh on June 18, 2005 through an intervention by mother Mrs. Kokilaben
July 6, 2003
Good afternoon, you’re Excellency, the President of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam, other
distinguished speakers, ladies and gentlemen. It is not without reason that people
across the length and breadth of this country yearn to hear you speak, your
Excellency. One, of course, is the singular honors of being in the presence of the
President of India. But even more so, as we have all experienced here today, it is
because of what your Excellency says and the manner in which you say it. The
Reliance family is deeply honored that you have graced an occasion, which for all
of us will always be cherished. Your presence here has filled us with great pride
and contributed to our immense learning.
I am also thankful to Shri Amitabh Bachchan, Shri Chhagan Bhujbal, Dr. Murli
Manohar Joshi, Shri Narendra Modi, Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde, Shri Arun
Shourie, Shri Digvijay Singh, Dr. Manmohan Singh and Shri Mulayam Singh
Yadav for being present with us here today in remembrance of Dhirubhai.
With your permission, your Excellency I would like to narrate in all humility a
small incident that took place just over a year ago. And that had a deep impact on
me. This event was known only to Papa, you, your Excellency, Mukesh and I.
And it occurred at a time when your Excellency's name had just been announced
as a candidate for the office of President. I vividly remember it was Sunday, 23rd
of June 2002. I was going to Hyderabad to attend the first convocation of the
Indian School of Business. Your Excellency was the Chief Guest. As always
before I left Mumbai, that morning, I went to meet papa and I told him I would be
meeting with your Excellency and it would be nice if he wished you on the phone
while I was with you, he of course, very readily agreed. When I met your
Excellency in Hyderabad after the convocation ceremony was over, I requested
you to spare a moment to speak to my father on the phone. You very graciously
agreed and I got my father on the line. I thought to myself it would be a brief call,
where you would speak to papa for perhaps a minute simply accepting his
greetings. After all that is how these calls usually are. When two people who have
never ever met before, speak on the phone without any agenda. But as I watched
the call went on for a minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, nearly
fifteen minutes! I was amazed. I asked your Excellency, what papa had
discussed with you. You gave me a very thoughtful smile and only said, 'Mr. Anil,
you are a very lucky person. Your father is a great man.' You were also kind
enough to communicate that when you assumed office as President, papa was
amongst the first people you would like to invite to meet with you in Delhi.
On my journey back to Mumbai, that evening I kept wondering, what papa could
have said to you, which had made such an impact? When I reached home, I went
straight to papa's room and asked him what he had discussed with you for nearly
fifteen minutes. He said, in his characteristic fashion, with a wave of his hand, ''I
spoke to Dr. Kalam of all the things which concern India. I said to him let us do
everything we can to make India one of the world's leading economic
superpowers. Let us link up all the rivers in this country to provide water to all. Let
us use our huge stocks of food grains to feed millions of hungry people. Let us
ensure high quality education for our children. Let us create millions of jobs for
our youth. And let us make our country a land of plenty. These are the kinds of
the goals we must achieve in our lifetime''.
That was the kind of man, papa was, your Excellency. He did not have the benefit
of a formal education himself. But he was able to strike an instant chord that too
on a brief phone call with an eminently learned person like you, your Excellency.
Someone he had never even met before! He was looking forward to meeting you
in person. Your Excellency but fate intervened. Within the next 24 hours he was
to fall ill. And just two weeks later he departed for his heavenly abode. That
conversation he had with you, your Excellency was in fact his last such
conversation with any eminent public figure.
This is what we all miss so much about you today papa! Your big ideas, your
inspiring thoughts, your enthusiasm, your passion, your warmth, your simplicity,
your humility, your sincerity. Your ability to give endlessly of yourself to others
with not a thought to yourself. We miss your guiding hand papa. We will miss
your loving nature. And, we always will.
Our founder, the legendary Dhirubhai Ambani, gave us a simple mantra for
growth: “Think Big. Think Fast. Think Ahead… and…Think Better.”
We are not just about scale and size; we are also about the pursuit of excellence,
the integrity of our values, the quality of our products and services…
Think Bigger! Think Better!
That is our commitment, our driving force…
That’s our mantra, our way of life - across the Reliance ADA Group…
Starting today, we will have opportunity to get closer to our new identity, to reflect
on the philosophy behind it, and to celebrate the spirit of teamwork that lies at the
heart of it.
While embarking on this truly momentous journey, I look forward to working with
each one of you – as we give life, body and soul to our new identity, our new
vision. Together.
Thank You.
PROCESS TO CHANGE THE BRAND
As everybody knew since the partition of Reliance
Industries that Reliance communications has to change it’s name to Reliance
Communication.
Brand change activity consisted of making all the old collaterals and all the
signage’s totally disappeared from the market so that new colored signage's &
collaterals could be installed.
Old advertising materials of Reliance communications were of green color, and
all new materials are of white colour.
Brand change activity of Lucknow region was primarily divided in to 2 steps
Address
Important Dates:
Mega trend has to do all the activities from making the signage’s to the
installation of it on the respective sites, list of all the Reliance PCOs, Web Worlds,
WWEs and other shops who sell Reliance products .Because Signage’s has to
be installed at various places of MEERUT so the city was divided in to various
segments according to the areas and many teams were accordingly made.
Each team has to go to the assigned areas and in the first phase of operation has
to deinstall all the advertising materials from the shops. We were working there
as a supervisor and has to see that the work goes on smoothly, we were also
taking record (Size & Condition) of signage’s from each shops and to get a form
filled by them.
Format of the form is given below
Signage Installation Certificate
Shop Name………………………………………………………………………………
Shop address………………………………………………………………………….
Mobile No………………………………………………………………………………
It was not like we did not face any problem during all this, at many shops
shopkeepers were reluctant to get the signage’s deinstalled, we also had to face
all that there we had to take them in the confidence that they will get new one in
place of old signage’s.
In the second phase we took new signage’s to each of the shop from where we
brought old ones
And had to get it installed properly but all the new signage’s that we were
installing, were covered with black clothes. It was covered so that no body could
get to see the new signage’s.
On 27 May 2006 the shopkeepers unveiled signage’s and the new brand
was launched.

MEANING OF PROJECT
The word project has a great important in the development of new thing or idea or
techniques. The important of this word becomes specific for the academic
purpose. When the study is about management then it becomes more specific.
Even a single alphabet of this word represents the phase of management –
P – This implies for ‘Planning’. Planning gives the framework of future. How will
take steps in future. It is a predetermined procedure about the future work.
R – This implies for ‘Resources’ or the available means through which we will go
ahead. Resources have their own role in the development of any organization.
C – It means to ‘Collect’, that is to bring together all the relevant things, which are
necessary to make any project effective.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Problem Definition
My project topic is “Study of services offered by various mobile companies”. To
the channel partners (WWE, Retailers, Distributors). Winning Companies are
more productive in acquiring, keeping & growing customer and the satisfied
channel partners. These companies provide improve the value of their channel
partners base by excelling at the market strategies.
But to maintain the continuous processing of the channel partners
relationship management is not an easy task for any company. They face
different types of problems to maintain it.
In this project this is expected to find out the satisfaction level of ‘Reliance’
retailer to know how much they are satisfied by the services of company it is also
expected to detect what they want more from the company side. In this regard
it is also necessary to detect the various plans of these companies, which has
been, introduce to satisfaction and to retain the retailers, it is also necessary to
know at what level the retailers are satisfied. And for prevent churn through
retention and various tools of determining the retailer’s satisfaction level.
In this regard it is also know what are the opportunities and threats in front
of ‘Reliance’.
Research Problem
In research process the first and the foremost step happens to be that of
selecting and properly defining a research problem. The research problem should
be defined in a systematic manner, giving due weight age to all relating points.
The technique for the purpose involves the undertaking of the following steps
generally one after the other:
Statement of the problem in a general way.
Understanding the nature of the problem.
Surveying the available literature.
Developing the ideas through discussions.
Rephrasing the research problem.
Sub-Objectives: -
o To make clear picture of retailer’s behavior towards telecom
company in MEERUT.
o Study about the satisfaction level of retailers regarding
incentive/services and quality offered by telecom operators.
o To know about the knowledge and interest of retailers
towards company’s product & services.
o To have a clear understanding of retailer’s perception
towards the sale & services.
Dichotomous question
Multiple choice questions
Close ended questions
The sampling technique for the problem is: Probability and Non – Probability
Sampling. A probability sample is one in which the sampling units are selected
by chance and for which there is a known chance of each unit being selected. A
non-probability sample is one in which chance selection procedures are not used.
Under this I have used multi stage sampling i.e. first I have used cluster
sampling and then convenience sampling was done. In cluster sampling the
sampling frame is divided into various clusters i.e. various retail outlets of
different clusters (various areas of MEERUT) and then applied convenience
sampling. A convenience sample is one in which the only criterion for selecting
the sampling units is the convenience of the sampler. After this I selected the
items from the cluster as per convenience sampling.
Sample Size: - Due to shortage of time, the size of sample chosen for the
research is 200. I have covered various retail outlets of different areas of
MEERUT city.
Fieldwork – method used for data collection
The method used for data collection in the fieldwork is the personal
Interview. Personal Interviews are those in which an interviewer obtains
information from respondents in face-to-face meetings. Personal interviews
are widely used in marketing research. In a personal interview, the interviewer
asks the questions of the respondent in a face- to-face situation.
Limitations
Since the report is based on sampling the sample may not be a true
representative of the population. I have not taken whole areas of MEERUT so the
information that I have calculated should be biased. Due to shortage of time
period, I have taken a very small sample size i.e. of 500. Also I have used
questionnaire for the retailer feedback, here there is a possibility that the retailer
may not have given true information due to shortage of time. This may effect the
interpretation of the data collected up to the extent of the information given by the
client is false and biased.
SAMPLE PROFILE:
I have taken 200 samples from the total population. Sample profile is the retailers
of various outlets of mobile shop whom I have talked. Sample profile was taken
from various areas of MEERUT.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threat (SWOT) are the four tools for a
individual or group or organization to grow, improve and polish its skills. SWOT
analysis for the Reliance retailers in regards to BSNL, Airtel, Tata Indicomm
Hutch and Idea and has been highlighted below which covers all the criticality of
the Project. The following points were seen as the:
STRENGTH
1. A strong brand name with a high degree of financial support, which is the
backbone of the company.
2. Brand leaders in Bringing Latest Technology for the common man
3. An innovator, Pre problem Seeker and Risk taking capabilities.
4. Systematic, planned and quick actions taken up lead to quick reactions by
the company ultimately providing a competitive edge to Reliance.
5. A dedicated Technical, Marketing, and Survey team with extra features of
Research and development support.
WEAKNESS
1. The data collected cannot be considered as 100% accurate but it is only
an estimated figures gathered by the customer.
2. The analysis so done cannot be regarded as the final as change is the
only constant thing, which happens.
OPPORTUNITIES
1. A huge untapped market
2. Mobile is no more a status symbol but a necessity for the rural too which
opens door for Reliance
3. Government teaming up with the company to set up PCOs and to facilitate
rural with Telecom services
4. High PCO demand rising in the rural especially for Set.
THREATS
1. Neck to Neck competition with Hutch with respect to incentive and policies
2. Threats from growing Competitors like Hutch and Reliance in the prepaid
sector
3. New entrant in the market, Idea is an area of concern.
4. Teaming up with Government may lead to negotiating by Reliance in
business
