Design and Implementation of a Novel Integrated Private ISM Radio Link Network in Khorasan Razavi Electrical Power Distribution Company

It is essential to achieve stable and high bandwidth communication in order to develop and evolve a variety of platforms, including ERP, video conferencing, VoIP, digital mobile radio, and automation of electric power distribution networks. There are several challenges involved in the implementation of these networks, including the large area of the Khorasan Razavi province (118000 km
²
) and 31 offices spread across a large geographical area. In this paper, the novel experience of designing and implementing a radio link network that integrates fiber optics is presented in detail. In both IT and OT networks, this infrastructure network provides excellent technical capabilities. By using the proposed plan, 31 offices and 12 sites will be connected to a high-bandwidth, low-jitter, and low-delay network of about 65 Mbps, 30 ms, and 45 ms respectively, which is 2.5 times better than the company's 2020 network. Moreover, the details of the design, simulation, and implementation of the sites, including the equipment list, are being presented for the first time. Other companies could benefit from this. Software packages PathLoss 5.0 and OPNET 14.5 were used for the design and simulation.
