connectivity project refers to selection of communication media that corresponds to upgraded routing and security equipment. I
have considered few vendors and technologies for our R&D, based on their availability in Pakistan and offered services and
solutions. Based on research and development work and analysis of different available terrestrial mediums, Askari Bank has
finalized to redesign the country wide terrestrial network infrastructure with high availability of inter branch communications.
Network Connectivity
In order to develop stability and performance in existing communication network the bank has planned to bring its branches on
fiber network. Initially, incorporate all branches in major cities and regional offices under this network. In addition to this, I also
carried analysis work at branch level. Keeping a standard branch network setup I planned to compose a network solution that will
enable us to incorporate state-of-the-art next generation applications.
In order to have optimum Communication Stability and Manageability I have considered next generation Wimax technology for
communication network as a secondary link of branch. We carried out research analysis for selection of access technology for
TERRESTRIAL network according to the SBP requirements with scalability and complete control from centralized Network
Operation Center (NOC) ETD.
VoIP over Wimax
Askari bank is intended to provide VoIP and video conferencing services over Wimax access technology. We have evaluated the
performance of Wimax access method for VoIP. We have used licensed band with frequency of 3.5 GHz spectrum range that
enables to deliver less expensive and high-speed wireless infrastructure.
