Tel: +603 8996 5505 Fax: +603 8996 5507 Website: www.mtsfb.org.my ISBN 978-983-44466-0-4 FOREWORD MALAYSIAN COMMUNICATIONS AND MULTIMEDIA COMMISSION (SKMM) The publication of the Technical Standards for Infrastructure Requirements (TSIR) is intended to set standards for the overall improvement of network infrastructure in both fixed and broadcast services by service providers to consumers. The Code was successfully drafted by the Multimedia Network Infrastructure Working Group (MNI WG) members, representing their respective organizations who work together in a forum voluntarily formed by the industry players. This forum which is known as Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTSFB) was set up in April 2004 and is one of four self-regulated industry forums formed under the requirements of the Communications and Multimedia Acts 1998 (CMA ’98). The Code also sets out the requirement for network installation by relevant authorities such as SKMM and Local Councils. In line with the vision of SKMM’s MyICMS 886, this Code will emphasize the importance of TSIR and best work practices in the multimedia network. This is expected to improve the overall system performance and delivery method of various services. Proper techniques, deployment and management of multimedia network infrastructure with reference to the technical codes and guidelines will be instilled. I am confident that MTSFB will continue to strive towards promoting understanding of the Code among members of the industry and the public. Through awareness programs and nationwide road shows, they have the full support from industry and regulators. I wish to congratulate MTSFB for making the establishment of this Code possible. I hope the commitment that has been shown by MTSFB will continue as they take on bigger tasks and challenges in the communications and multimedia industry. DATUK DR. HALIM SHAFIE CHAIRMAN OF MALAYSIAN COMMUNICATIONS AND MULTIMEDIA COMMISSION FOREWORD MALAYSIAN TECHNICAL STANDARDS FORUM BHD (MTSFB) The Technical Standards and Infrastructure Requirements (TSIR) code was established to serve as guidelines and standards for the purpose of supporting the Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL). Such formation of codes is provided for in the Communications and Multimedia Act, CMA 1998 (CMA) and the relevant provisions on technical regulation in Part VII of the CMA The TSIR on Fixed Network Infrastructure Code was prepared by the Fixed Network Infrastructure Sub-Working Group (FNI SWG) with the common understanding and agreement among the communications and service providers’ representatives in Malaysia. The formation of FNI SWG under the Multimedia Network Infrastructure Work Group (MNI WG) had been approved by the Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTSFB) for the sole purpose of developing the TSIR Code. MTSFB is one of the four self-regulation industry forums which was formed under the CMA and was officially designated by SKMM on 27th October 2004. MTFSB is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the standards, technical codes, networks interoperability and operation issues, as well as to develop, recommend, modify, update and seek the registration of technical codes from SKMM. The Code was registered by SKMM as the respective technical code and took effect on 13 August 2008. The Code is intended as a reference for technical codes and standards for architects, consulting engineers, owners, developers and others who are responsible for planning and erecting buildings. This is inline with the objective to meet the requirement of end users on fixed services with minimum disruptions to all services offered by service providers. For the purpose of meeting the needs of users, this Code addresses the technical system and infrastructure requirements which impose that building shall be equipped with fixed broadband distribution system. This is important as fixed services are used as a medium for delivery of public information to the masses, particularly during crisis and emergency situations. I would like to congratulate the working group on their success of establishing this TSIR Code. I also would like to stress that the strength of the working group lies in the diversity of the members’ specialised knowledge and expertise which are deemed indispensable and valuable to MTFSB. I believe that the valuable knowledge and skills of the members will continue to contribute to this wave of technology development of which MTFSB is seen as one of the integral part towards the realization of the national objectives in communications and multimedia. Finally, I would like to offer my gratitude to the working group chairman, vice chairman, secretary and all members who had given their full commitment and worked diligently in preparing the document.
