It used to happen that telecommunication companies replace the current telecommunication infrastructures to support telecommunication service such as mobile internet service to the new one for one or more reasons. It could be the capacity issue, interoperability to others telecommunication systems, upgrading to the new version and more features of telecommunication devices etc. There will be a lot of activity will be done by telecommunication companies while swapping schedule is started such as perform mobile internet service test. They should do many tests to make sure that telecommunication services are working proper before and after swapping of old telecommunication infrastructures
What I mean swapping here is replacing the telecommunication core network such as Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) as the core network of to support telecommunication services such as mobile internet service. As we know that Huawei platform was deployed in many Indonesia telecommunication companies. It is possible that Huawei will replace as well current MSC from another platform. And while swapping process is occurring, Telecommunication Company should do many testing to make sure that telecommunication services are running well. These are what they will do during this activity
1. Swapping the current/old Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Base Transceiver Controller (BSC) platform
This means that old hardware will be no more in service at that area which covered by all of those equipment. Usually telecommunication companies will relocate the old one to the new area
2. Migrate the new Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Base Transceiver Controller (BSC) platform to the new Mobile Switching Centre (MSC)
This means telecommunication companies should install new telecommunication infrastructures above to replace the old one
3. Testing to the entire of telecommunication services
After swapping is completed the next step is resting to the entire of telecommunication service such ensuring that Voice, SMS and mobile internet service are working fine and Value Added Service (VAS) as well such as download content service. They should do this testing one by one and note if the test is passed or not. They should make a call to own network, long distance call and international call through certainty prefix (VOIP) or International Direct Dial (IDD). They also should send SMS to many numbers and do dial up connection to make sure that Data Service is running perfectly.
If one or more tests are not passed that they should roll back to the previous telecommunication infrastructures. We can say that the swapping process is fail. Telecommunication services such as mobile internet service should run properly after this swapping.
