Numbering Plan

telephone numbering plan is a type of numbering scheme used in telecommunications to allocate telephone numbers to subscribers and to route telephone calls in a telephone network. A closed numbering plan imposes a fixed total length to numbers. An open numbering plan features variance in the length of telephone numbers.
This chapter will cover the details about the numbering plan and the dial plan that we used in the design.

For domestic calls, the subscribers have to dial:

0 + Area Code (45) + Phone number

For international calls:

00 + Country Code + Area Code + Phone number

The subscriber can reach the CO with the hotline number: 466 (ion)

The subscriber will bear the number: 045-xxx-xxxx


ionTEL OUTSIDE PLAN

In designing telephone systems, routing cables and planning the positions of distribution boxes and cross cabinets is very crucial in order to maximize efficient transmission and reception of data. It is also important in cutting cost. Proper installation is critical to the performance of the system.
This chapter covers the routing analysis as well as the outside plant design that we have formulated.
