In case you require more than 30Mbps of bandwidth, multiple ONTs can be used to deliver the required bandwidth. However, in such a case, you need to work out the issues relating to load-balancing the traffic. Please note that the ONT performs transparent bridging. It has no IP address. In case you opt for such a solution, use of a Layer3 switch is recommended at the customer premise.

Alternately, Nayatel Operations team can check the availability of a pair of dark fiber at a cabinet near the customer premise and use a pair of fiber-optic strands to terminate the customer premise connection in an Ethernet media-converter instead of an ONT. The media-converter option can deliver data at rates from 10Mbps to 1 Gigabit Per second to the customer.

Please note that Nayatel Operations Team will only do this in very special circumstances.

Does Nayatel use PTCL to carry international voice traffic?

Nayatel's interconnect partners include Wateen Telecom, Burraq Telecom, National Telecommunications Corporation (NTC) as well as Pakistan Telecommunications Company Limited (PTCL). The international voice traffic is carried over any of these partners.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. It can be used to create two-party, multiparty, or multicast sessions that include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.

(cit. RFC 3261). SIP is designed to be independent of the underlying transport layer; it can run on TCP, UDP, or SCTP. It is widely used as a signaling protocol for Voice over IP, along with H.323 and others.
SIP has the following characteristics:

• Transport-independent, because SIP can be used with UDP, TCP, ATM and so on.
• Text-based, allowing for humans to read SIP messages.

SIP trunks can be purchased in increments of 1, whereas PRIs have to be purchased in increments of 30 channels.

SIP Trunks can work with a SIP-ready PBX. SIP Trunks can also be made to work with traditional analog or key systems with an IAD (Integrated Access Device). The SIP Trunk service provider will need to inter-operate with the underlying equipment manufacturer.

When should a business use a SIP Trunk instead of hosted?

Difference between FTTU analog TV and regular analog TV from cable operators

The analog cable service provided by Nayatel as compared to regular analog cable TV is far better in picture quality. The technology used for both of these services is Radio Frequency. To understand the difference between afore mentioned services it is essential to understand the difference between Optical Fiber cable and the COAX cable which carry the CATV signal to customer premises. The main differences are like bandwidth, distance, lower loss, greater reliability and interference.

Fiber optic cable has the ability to carry much more information and deliver it with greater fidelity than coaxial cable. It supports higher data transfer over greater distances than coaxial cable, making it ideal for the transmission of any kind of data and video. Because the conductor is glass and cannot conduct electricity, fiber is immune to virtually all kinds of interference. Therefore, it can come in direct contact with lightning, high voltage electrical equipment, and power lines. It will also not create ground loops of any kind. The glass core will not corrode and is unaffected by most chemicals. It can be buried directly in most soil, or it can be exposed to most corrosive atmospheres. Fiber optic cables are virtually unaffected by outdoor atmospheric conditions, allowing them to be lashed directly to telephone poles or existing electrical cables without concern for extraneous signal pickup. Fiber optic cable is ideal for secure communications systems since it is very difficult to tap but very easy to monitor. Additionally, there is absolutely no electrical radiation from a fiber.

Keeping in view all these factors, it is obvious that FTTU CATV will deliver same picture quality as it received by a satellite receiver in the Video Headend. Further with FTTU cable providing more attractive services like HDTV, digital cable, VOD and IPTV is very easy so having FTTU cable in your house is always an advantage. You can have all these services on a single connection and you don't have to change the service provider time and again.

Digital TV, difference between analog TV and digital TV

Digital television (DTV) is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals, in contrast to analog signals used by analog (traditional) TV. DTV uses digital modulation data, which is digitally compressed and requires decoding by a specially designed television set, or a standard receiver with a set-top box, or a PC fitted with a television card. Digital television is more flexible and efficient than analog television. Digital television allows a much clearer picture, better sound quality and more programming choices than analog does. Consumers also benefit because digital broadcasting allows stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and much greater number of channels. A digital Set-Top box will allow you to continue using your existing analog TV to watch over-the-air digital broadcasts. You do not need to get rid of your existing analog TV. In addition, analog sets should continue to work as before. Also, analog sets will continue to work with gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products that you use now. Both analog and digital signals get weaker with distance. However, while the picture on an analog TV slowly gets worse for more distant receivers, a picture on a digital set will stay perfect until the signal becomes too weak for the receiver to pick it up. By perfect I mean the picture on the TV is exactly the same picture the broadcaster started with at the transmitter. In a digital signal, a one is always a one and a zero is always a zero.

(OR)

What is the difference between Analogue and Digital TV?

The difference between Analog TV and Digital TV boils down to the way the TV signal is transmitted. Standard analog TV is transmitted in a manner similar to radio.

Analog TV transmits the video signal in (Amplitude Modulation) AM, while the audio is transmitted in (Frequency Modulation) FM. Analog TV is subject to interference, such as interference, picture jitter/freeze and snow, depending on the distance and geographical location of the TV receiving the signal. In addition, the amount of bandwidth assigned to an analog TV channel restricts the resolution and overall quality of the image. The current analog TV signal standard varies from country to country in Pakistan Pal B/G is used.

Digital TV, or DTV, on the other hand, is transmitted as data bits of information, just as computer data is written or the way music is written on a CD. In this way, the signal is basically "on" or "off". In other words, the intent of DTV technology is that the viewer either sees an image or nothing at all. There is no gradual signal loss as distance from the transmitter increases. If the viewer is too far from the transmitter or is in an undesirable location, there is nothing to see.

Difference between DTV, HDTV and SDTV

It is important to understand that the DTV transition is a transition from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. It is not a transition from analog broadcasting to High Definition broadcasting. Digital broadcasting allows for High Definition broadcasts, but High Definition is not required, and you do not need to buy a HDTV to watch digital TV. A Standard Definition DTV (which is simply a TV with an internal digital tuner), or a digital Set-top box hooked to an analog TV, is all that is required to continue watching over-the-air broadcast television. Digital broadcast television includes both Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats. You can watch High Definition programming on a Standard Definition DTV (or on an analog TV hooked to a digital set-top box), but it won't be in full High Definition quality. It is also important to know that Standard Definition DTVs are comparably priced to similar sized analog TVs. Digital content currently is delivered in one of five formats: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. The 480i format is the same as that used for standard analog TV, and when programming originally in 480i is delivered by digital cable or satellite to your home, it retains that format.

TV purchasing tips: difference between plasma and LCD, which one is better for which occasion? Watching movies or sports, which TV is better

Television sets are available in various screen sizes and manufactured with various different technologies. The main difference lies between an analog television set and a digital television set.

An analog TV is based on the older Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology for displaying moving images. The newer range of television sets are manufactured using either of the LCD, TFT-LCD, Micro-display or Rear-Projection, or the Plasma display technology, each of these technologies differ from each other in the way the image is finally reproduced. These technologies also differ from the conventional CRT display screen by way of size, clarity, weight, thickness and overall rendering of color and object details. Sound re-production though can be enhanced using an external sound processing unit such as what you might find in a stand-alone home theatre system.

A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen is based on the illumination of millions of tiny crystals, called pixels (picture elements), excited by an electric current. It is usually referred to as a Passive Matrix LCD screen. Each pixel emits different intensities of light and color according to the actual image. A high value for color and contrast ratio would produce picture rich in overall details and quality. LCD TVs consume only one-third the power consumed by CRT televisions of the same dimensions. LCD TVs are as thin as 4 inches and generally weigh a maximum of 10 pounds, allowing for saving up to 90% of space. It belongs to the category of digital displays as it can also display computer graphics as well as high-definition and standard TV broadcasts.

A TFT-LCD TV uses an array of special thin film of transistors (TFT) controlling and illuminating an array of an equal number of pixels. The transistors reduce the time taken to illuminate or shut off a particular pixel at a rate faster than the older LCD circuitry. This reduces the time taken to draw consecutive images as compared to LCD screen. A TFT-LCD television has at least a million pixels or 'mega pixels' for reproducing images. A TFT-LCD TV having a resolution of more than one mega pixels offers better sharpness as well as a larger viewable area. By dimensions, it measures similarly to a LCD screen in thickness.

Much similar in functionality to the TFT-LCD technology, a Plasma TV screen uses an array of tiny pixels holding xenon or neon gases sandwiched between two sheets of glass. Each pixel acts as a cell holding the gas surrounded by electrodes on two sides. When a current passes between the two electrodes, essentially through the cell too, the gas molecules are excited. The molecules then release charged photon particles onto a phosphorous layer containing the three basic layers: Red, Green and Blue (RGB) for image reproduction. While all such activity is going on the inside of the screen between the two glass sheets, the photons upon hitting the colored phosphor layer illuminate the external surface and recreate the original image. This process results in an image with deeper and richer colors of up to 68 billion. The plasma technology can provide a contrast ratio as high as 10000:1.

HDTV resolutions

Resolution, or picture detail, is the main reason why HDTV programs look so good. The standard-definition programming most of us watch today has at most 480 visible lines of detail, whereas HDTV has as many as 1,080. HDTV looks sharper and clearer than regular TV by a wide margin, especially on big-screen televisions. It actually comes in two different resolutions, called 1080i and 720p. One is not necessarily better than the other; 1080i has more lines and pixels, but 720p is a progressive-scan format that should deliver a smoother image that stays sharper during motion. Another format is also becoming better known: 1080p, which combines the superior resolution of 1080i with the progressive-scan smoothness of 720p. True 1080p content is scarce outside of Blu-ray, HD DVD and the latest video games, however, and none of the major networks has announced 1080p broadcasts. Check out our comparison chart to see how HDTV stacks up against standard TV and progressive-scan DVD, and go to HDTV resolution explained for more detail.

Why I am getting the same picture and sound quality even after purchasing the latest Digital TV?

You should also consider the source of TV signal. No matter how much money you spend on a TV, the picture will only be as good as the source video signal it receives. For instance, a DVD will look better on a low-end television than an analog broadcast antenna signal will look on a high-end HDTV. That is because the quality of the digital signal sent to the analog set is far superior to the analog signal sent to the digital HDTV. Sources break down like this:

What is HDTV?

When it would be available? HDTV, or High Definition Television, is an audio/video standard that defines the quality of motion picture. It is broadcast digitally in contrast to common analog broadcast formats such as: PAL, NTSC and SECAM. Separate tuners are built into the TV set. The screen redraw method in an HDTV broadcast is 'progressive' instead of 'interlaced' as found in older CRT based TVs. Sound channels are implemented using the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound standard deploying full surround sound capabilities. Future standards such as Ultra HDTV and Digital Video Broadcasting are designed to deliver much higher quality of video signals compared to the current HDTV broadcasts thereby delivering extremely high quality entertainment to common households. HDTV broadcast systems are defined by three functions:

• The number of lines in the vertical display resolution.
• The scanning system: progressive scanning (p) or interlaced scanning (i). Progressive scanning redraws an image frame (all of its lines) when refreshing each image. Interlaced scanning redraws the image field (every second line) per each image refresh operation, and then redraws the remaining lines during a second refreshing. Interlaced scanning yields greater image resolution if subject is not moving, but loses up to half of the resolution and suffers "combing" artifacts when subject is moving.
• The number of frames per second or fields per second.

The 720p60 format is 1280 x 720 pixels, progressive encoding with 60 frames per second (60 Hz). The 1080i50 format is 1920 x 1080 pixels, interlaced encoding with 50 fields per second. Sometimes interlaced fields are called half-frames, but they are not, because two fields of one frame are temporally shifted. Frame pulldown and segmented frames are special techniques that allow transmitting full frames by means of interlaced video stream. For commercial naming of the product, either the frame rate or the field rate is dropped, e.g. a "1080i television set" label indicates only the image resolution. Often, the rate is inferred from the context, usually assumed to be either 50 or 60, except for 1080p, which denotes 1080p24, 1080p25, and 1080p30, but also 1080p50 and 1080p60 in the future.

What is IP TV? When it would be available?

Internet Protocol Television is a system where a digital television service is delivered by using Internet Protocol over a network infrastructure, which may include delivery by a broadband connection. A general definition of IPTV is television content that, instead of being delivered through traditional broadcast and cable formats, is received by the viewer through the technologies used for computer networks. IPTV is in fact a DTV implementation.

Can HDTV be made available on digital, on IP or both?

Yes. HDTV can be provided in both DTV and IPTV. If we provide HDTV in digital it will need more bandwidth and hence we can multiplex lesser channels into our RF, while providing HDTV over IP will not have such limitation. The limiting factor here will be the user end bandwidth. The provider can give as many channels as he wants.

Difference between digital TV and VOD

VOD stands for Video on Demand. VOD is an application of digital TV. VOD permits a customer to browse an online program or film catalogue, to watch trailers and to then select a selected recording for playback. The playout of the selected movie starts nearly instantaneously on the customer's TV or PC.

With a satellite dish, something as simple as medium to dense cloud cover can cause a satellite picture to be degraded or hazy or freezing at intervals. For Nayatel Digital Cable you do not have to buy a dish that needs to be installed outside or on roof top of your house. You will get your favorite Cable TV channels straight to your door step along with other services like Telephone and Internet on a single fiber optic cable.

For Nayatel Digital Cable, - Please rephrase and clear what you want to say here.

What type of TV do I need?

Nayatel Digital Cable TV service is compatible with all TV types. A cable ready tunable TV will allow reception of local service below channels 49. To take advantage of Nayatel Digital Cable TV service, a TV must have a video and audio input. The input can be the typical yellow, white and red cables or a 3 wire component or an S-Video along with audio cables. High Definition (HDTV) service will require an HDTV, an HD STB, and HDMI or DVI cables with an adapter.

Are all TVs "cable ready"?

Televisions manufactured in the early 90s (1991 to 1995) and labeled "cable ready" tend to have limited channel capacity ranging from 0 to 30 or 40 channels. In this case a converter box is still necessary in order to receive channels located on higher frequencies. Televisions manufactured in 1996 and later were built with increased channel capacity, capable of receiving as many as 130 channels. Some TVs, however, are simply monitors, requiring additional equipment to receive the cable signal. To determine if your current television is cable ready with the desired channel capacity, consult the user guide that came with your television. It will specify capabilities of particular make and model of your TV. If you no longer have the user guide, contact the manufacturer to determine the specifications for your TV by contacting your vendor or accessing this information from the Internet. If you are planning to purchase a new TV, be aware that not all of them are cable ready.

In order to be marketed as "cable ready", televisions, VCRs, VCD's, DVD's and Home Theatre systems must meet three specific requirements. They must:

1. Have an improved tuner that is more resistant to interference than traditional tuners.
2. Be able to tune cable channels according to an FCC-approved channel plan.
3. Be equipped with a special connector that allows cable service to be connected directly to the television without the use of a set-top converter box.

What other equipment is needed for Nayatel Digital Cable TV Service?

To receive digital programming, a Set Top Box (STB) is required. We offer Standard Definition STB;

Standard Definition - provides digital audio and video quality. It gives you access to the Nayatel Digital Cable over 20 all-digital music, news, entertainment, Islamic and fundamental channels.

If you do not already have Nayatel Fiber to the User (FTTU) service, the following equipment will also be installed by Nayatel technician:

An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) will be installed on the outside of your home, and a battery backup UPS unit will also be installed inside your home or garage. The ONT needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet inside your garage or home, so you'll need to ensure an outlet is located close to where the ONT will be installed.

NOTE: If you have Nayatel FTTU service, you already have an ONT; an additional ONT are not required in this situation.

What is a Set-Top Box (STB) or digital cable receiver?

A set-top box or digital cable receiver (also called a digital receiver) is actually a powerful computer chip based device that receives cable input and processes multiple channels into a single frequency so that sound and images can be viewed on your television.

When the STB is attached to your TV, you are able to watch digital channels. Not only does it process incoming signals, but it also sends information back to our signal-processing center.

What's involved in the Nayatel Digital Cable Service Installation process?

The Nayatel Digital Cable trained Technician(s) will:

Install the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), if necessary. Customers with existing Nayatel FTTU services will already have an ONT installed.

• Connect cables to your home's coaxial splitter for Nayatel Digital Cable access.
• Wire and/or connect desired number of outlets in the home per your order.
• Install the specified number of Set-Top-Boxes (STBs).
• Explain and demonstrate all Nayatel Digital Cable components to you.
• Provide you with a Nayatel Digital Cable welcome kit and reference materials, as well as the Nayatel Digital Cable Terms of Service.

Do I need a separate Digital Cable box for every TV?

Yes. Customers who want to use the full range of Digital Cable channels will need a set-top box provided by Nayatel for additional televisions at there home or office. Customers can though watch analog channels on additional TV without a set top box.
