In-Building Electronic Communication Installation
The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources has prepared the "Regulation on Amendments to the Regulation on Internal Electrical Installations" and published it in the Official Gazette dated 21/02/2018 and numbered 30339. Article 1 of the Regulation states: “In-building electronic communication installations must comply with the current Technical Specification for In-Building Electronic Communication Installations prepared and published by the Information Technologies and Communication Authority.” The said regulation amendment will enter into force on 21/05/2018.
In this context, the Information Technologies and Communication Authority's decision dated 10/05/2018 and numbered 2018/DK/-TED/147 has updated the “Technical Specification for In-Building Electronic Communication Installations.” The current version of the specification can be accessed from the internet page below.
With the implementation of the Technical Specification for In-Building Electronic Communication Installations, the benefits provided in newly constructed buildings are listed below.
- During building construction, the installation of in-building fiber optic cables up to the apartments has been made mandatory.
- During the building construction phase, cable installation from the roof to all apartments to deliver satellite broadcasts has been made mandatory, thereby aiming to prevent visual pollution caused by dish antennas on balconies.
- In public buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, office centers, sports areas, and similar structures where in-building coverage cannot be provided from outside, in-building coverage will be ensured with a mobile communication system room.
- Cables can be installed without damaging the building and at lower costs via vertical shafts (cable risers).
- A low-voltage panel similar to the fuse panel will be provided inside the apartment. Distribution can be made to the rooms in the apartment via star connection from this panel, allowing users to access internet, telephone, cable TV, or satellite antenna from any room they wish.
- A system room meeting sufficient conditions for operators to place their distribution boxes will be allocated in buildings. Thus, a more orderly distribution can be made, and visual pollution at the building entrance will be prevented.
- Benefits will be provided in many areas, such as the development of electronic communication infrastructure, primarily fiber optic infrastructure, reduction in costs, and facilitation of access to communication services.
