Selection of Digital Cellular Handsets or Wireless Cards Report

This report, prepared for Telestra by Exetel, evaluates the use of digital cellular handsets versus notebooks with wireless cards for providing field service technicians with access to the company's network data. The report examines the advantages and disadvantages of each option, considering factors such as portability, data access capabilities (including 3G/4G/5G), and ease of use in various work environments. The analysis includes a comparison of cellular handsets and notebooks with wireless cards. Ultimately, the report recommends cellular handsets as the preferred technology for Telestra, emphasizing their suitability for technicians working in diverse locations, including challenging environments like transmission towers and underground settings, and their ability to provide convenient access to the required data. The report concludes by highlighting the benefits of using cellular handsets with internet connectivity to access the organization's electronic library.

Presentation Outline


 The Company Telesra is licensed to provide
wired telecommunication services in Australia
 The Company Has given a Contract to Exetel
for assisting them in selection and
implementation of a new field service system.
 The aim of this project is to provide the
technicians with the wireless access to the
data stored in corporate network.
Introduction


 The company is facing a trouble in deciding
which technology to adopt, handheld cellular,
tables with 3G/4G and 5G access or notebooks
equipped with cellular cards ( Bhattacharyya
& Bhattacharya, 2013).
 Therefore, the Exetel has undertaken the
contract to suggest a particular technology to
Telestra.
The Problem


 Telestra need to choose from the available options
of providing the technicians of the organization with
the access of the data present in the network of the
organization.
 These options include, handheld cellular, tables with
3G/4G and 5G access and notebooks equipped with
cellular cards.
 Exetel has taken the contract to suggest the
organization whether to use the digital cellular
handsets and cellular wireless cards
The Options


Cellular Handsets
 Cellular handsets are
the telecommunication
devices providing
wireless access to the
data stored in the
system (
 Gohil, Modi & Patel,
2013).
 Cellular handsets can
be easily carried to
different locations


Cont…
 The modern cellular
handsets supports
3G/4G and 5G
technology and
therefore it would
not be difficult to
access data from the
internal network of
the organization.


Cellular Handsets-
Advantages
 The cellular handsets
can be easily carried to
different places as its
size is small
 The advanced cellular
devices are pre loaded
with advanced
applications including
MS Word, Office and
Excel (Osseiran et al.,
2014).


Cont…
 The data from the
internal network of the
organization can be
easily accessed by
connecting the device
with internet (Patel,
Chauhan & Kapadiya,
2012).
 The live data updates
can be provided as
well over the internet


Notebook With
Wireless Cards
 Notebooks
connected with the
wireless cards are
capable of displaying
the data stored in
them
 The digital image of
the important
drawings can be
easily accessed with
the help of
notebooks


Cont..
 The use of wireless cards
can help in wirelessly
connecting with the
digital devices such as
laptops and notebooks
 However, it is difficult to
carry notebook for field
service works that are
associated with height or
while working
underground.


 Wireless cards can be easily set up and high
level technical knowledge is not required for
setting up a wireless card in a notebook
 It offers a faster rate of data transfer, in
comparison to the cellular handsets
 The security issues is relatively lower in
cellular wireless cards
Wireless Cards-
Advantages


Cellular handsets Vs
Notebooks with wireless
cards
 Cellular handsets are
easier to carry from
place to place
(Kumar, Kim &
Helmy, 2013)
 This is because, the
notebooks are
difficult to carry in
top of tower or in a
tunnel


Cont..
 Although the access
of the important
drawings and data is
easier in Notebook,
its difficulty in
carrying to the site
becomes a
significant
disadvantage.


The Chosen Option
 The cellular handset
is recommended for
Telestra as it will be
easier for the
technician to use it
even while working
underground or in tip
of transmission
towers.


 It is recommended for Telestra to make use of
the cellular handsets with an internet
connectivity for their field service operations.
 This technology is recommended as it offers
all the advanced benefits of accessing the
required data from the electronic library of the
organization
 Furthermore, it will be easier for the
technicians to carry this device to site as it is
smaller in size.
