Data Communications - Digital Leased Lines (TDM)

What is a Digital Leased Line (DLL)?
DLL is a permanent connection made by the Telecommunication Company between 2 locations. In fact it is similar to a telephone line that is open all the time but rather than paying for it by the minute and second as you would do for your normal telephone connections, a leased line is rented by the month. Leased lines can be installed over any distance and are priced according to the speed (bandwidth) and the location of the two ends.

Project Description
The main objective of this network is to provide Data Connectivity between all major cities in Palestine. For this reason it was necessary to build our own national data network. The figure below gives a schematic description of this network:


Five main nodes were installed in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron and Gaza.
The Central Network Management System of the TDM Network was located in Nablus. Through this system, the administrator can control and monitor the whole network.
Fourteen smaller nodes with different capacities were installed in Qalquilya, Jenin, Tulkarem, Al-Ram, Beir Nabala, Beir Zeit, Bireh, Jericho, Jabalia, Rafah, Deer Al-Balah, AirPort, Shekh Radwan and Khan-Younis.

Leased Lines Tariff
The installation and monthly charges of the DLLs depend on the speed and the type of connection between the locations of the two ends.

There are four types of connections depending on the location of the two ends:

1. Lines between two nodes through Bezeq: for example between Nablus and Gaza.
2. Lines between two nodes through PALTEL: for example between Khan-Younes and Jabalia.
3. Lines through the same node: in this case, the two ends are located in the same city and connected to the same node.
4. Non-Managed Local Lines: these are copper pairs and are available only locally.
