 4. Considerations
• Considerable construction work in New
Developments is needed in the Kingdom, in
order to cope with economic and population
growth. The provision of ICT infrastructure
in such New Developments is essential and
serves as basis for enabling new services and
technologies such as 5G and smart cities and
buildings.
• New Developments vary greatly in their size
and character. They may include any of the
followings:
o Preparation and completely new
constructions (greenfield).
o Construction in existing developed areas.
o Major renovations of existing buildings
(brownfield).
New Developments may be residential,
governmental, commercial, industrial, or any
other purpose; urban, suburban, or high-
population.

result in a continuous smooth internal surface free from sharp edges and protrusions. The duct shall be laid
on the trench bottom and the spigot end and the inside of the socket of the ducts to be jointed shall be
thoroughly cleaned.

b) The spigots and sockets of a duct are so designed that, taking into account all manufacturing tolerances, the
spigot will start to engage with the socket at a point between 1/3 and 2/3 of the socket depth. Two spigot
markings are provided on the duct to show the maximum and minimum insertion depths. The minimum marking
must be at least level with the socket.

c) When jointing short lengths of duct together with a collar duct the spigot ends shall be given a liberal coating
of a suitable sealing compound and then fitted into the collar so that they butt together at the midpoint.

Multi-way
a) The jointing of ducts, sub-ducts and duct bundles shall be as outlined above.

b) The first layer of ducts (or duct bundles) shall be laid on the prepared trench bottom so that their outer surfaces
touch each other. Spacers at a distance of 2 meters shall be used to keep the duct formation in the correct
position. Concrete or earth free from stones shall be placed to fill the spaces between the ducts and the next
layer of duct when the latter is bedded down.

3.4.2.2 Alternative Method of Jointing and Laying

Provided space permits, ducts may be joined above ground and fed into the trench from one end.

3.4.3 Pre-formed Duct Bends

a) All bends must be of the same material as the duct or duct bundles to which they connect.

13
b) Pre-formed bends shall be used for all types of short run ducts. Ducts in the short run may be bent with less
than 10 degrees only. Pre-formed duct bends shall only be used at the end of duct lengths for building or
Manhole entries or house lead-ins. Pre-formed duct bends may be used for duct routes between Manholes.

c) No more than two ninety degree (or equivalent) bends shall be installed in the duct between any two manholes.

d) Minimum curve bend radii for ducts between two manholes:

Duct Type Long Run Short Run
(> 100 m) (< 100 m)
100 mm 5 000 mm 800 mm
50 mm 800 mm 300 mm
25 mm not applicable 300 mm

Preferably, to change the direction of a 100 mm duct in a long run, combinations of bends with angles of: 30° x
5m radius or 45 ° x 5m radius shall be used.

3.4.4 Protection Against Entry of Material

A suitable plug shall be inserted in the ends of each bore (or "way") of a duct to prevent the ingress of water and/or
other foreign matter. The plugging mechanism or material shall be readily removable to allow for future sub-duct
or cable installation.

3.4.5 Cleaning and Testing

a) On completion of the duct line or bundles (including compaction of the backfill and prior to surface
reinstatement like asphalting) between any two Manholes, or sites thereof, a cylindrical brush followed by a
UPVC mandrel shall be passed once through each "way" to test the installed duct and to remove any foreign
matter that may have entered. The mandrel shall have a minimum diameter of 80% of the internal duct
diameter.

b) If any defect is discovered during these operations, the defect shall be repaired.

c) After all operations are completed, including the repair of the duct where necessary, the joints of all ducts shall
be tested to ensure that they are forming an effective seal (e.g. air tightness test, foam sponge, mandrel,
pressure tests). Any defects shall be repaired.

14
3.4.6 Draw Rope

The use of draw ropes is an option to support future deployment of FOC or subducts by pulling.
In case draw ropes are used, they should conform to the following specifications:
a) Draw ropes shall be threaded through and left in every bore (duct way) with sufficient surplus to enable future
cabling or subducting operations. Draw ropes may be jointed together to make up the necessary length
between jointing chambers/Manholes.

b) For lead in ducts, the rope shall be attached to the duct seal rope anchor or the plug pressure anchor eye.

c) Under no circumstances shall a rope be fitted through a duct seal.

d) Draw rope for any duct shall be rated at a minimum of 550 kg.

3.4.7 Duct Seal

a) When ducts (including sub-ducts and duct bundles) need to be sealed, they shall be sealed within each
Manhole/Handhole, so as to prevent the ingress of water between the outside of the duct and the
Manhole/Handhole and the ingress of gas, water and vermin through the ducts.

b) Breakthrough into a building/customers’ premises shall be performed carefully, in compliance with good
engineering practices and any conditions or specifications regarding rights of way or works instructions issued.

c) All duct sections between a building and the first Manhole shall be gas-tight and watertight.

Lead-in ducts into customers' premises shall be sealed at the end within the Manhole and building / customers'
premises. Uncabled ducts ending in a street cabinet shall have a suitable plug.

1 Purpose and Scope

1.1 Purpose

This document provides the technical standards for In-building Physical Infrastructure for Multi
Dwelling Unit (MDU) buildings to enable all building owners to design and deploy
telecommunications network infrastructure in new public and private buildings.
These standards have been established with the aim of ensuring that any In-building Physical
Infrastructure in New Developments is built in accordance with a common national
telecommunication standard and meets international best practice.

1.2 Scope

These standards apply to all new Multi-Dwelling Unit buildings (residential, commercial,
industrial, governmental, etc.). They apply to all In-building Physical Infrastructure and include
the most commonly used materials specifications for In-building Physical Infrastructure.
These standards shall be observed by building owners.
These standards do not change any obligations imposed by other administrative authorities.
Installations in buildings shall strictly meet the requirements set by the relevant authorities having
jurisdiction. Thus, the installations shall comply with all provisions, rules and guidelines
established by these authorities.

4
2 Definitions

New Developments: means the real estates to be developed by land and building developers,
including land planning and preparation and buildings construction for residential, commercial,
industrial, governmental or any other purpose.
Passive Network Components: include all the non-electric physical elements, such as buildings,
sites, ducts, towers and masts, manholes, hand-holes, and cables, among others, that may serve
for the provision of Outside Plant and In-building telecommunications networks.
Outside Plant (OSP): Any ICT network implemented with the aim of connecting it, or using it to
connect, with the public telecommunications networks. OSP includes passive ICT networks
components and any associated hardware located between a central distribution point at the
border of the New Development and Access Points.
In-building Physical Infrastructure (IPI): means passive ICT networks components in a building
connecting the Access Point with the Network Termination Points in the building units (also
known as Inside Plant), including Network Termination Points, distribution frames, risers,
telecommunications rooms and spaces, and lead-in ducts.
Access Point: means a physical point located outside the building accessible by public
telecommunications networks, hosting the Optical Distribution Box (ODB), through which a
connection between the Outside Plant and the In-building Physical Infrastructure is made. It is the
demarcation point between Outside Plant and In-building Physical Infrastructure.
Access Area: means the physical location containing the lead-in ducts and cabling from the Access
Point to the Telecommunications space / room.
Building Distribution Frame (BDF): means a distribution element between the Outside Plant and
the In-building Physical Infrastructure (inside plant). The BDF allows connection of the lead-in
cables from the Access Point (outside the premises) to the cables leading to each Unit.
Riser Area: means the physical location containing the vertical ducts and distribution cabling that
connects each floor with the BDF.

5
Floor Distributor (FD): means a sub-dividing element between the BDF and the Unit Distributor /
Network Termination Points located nearby or in the riser area which allows the transition from
the vertical to the horizontal indoor cable. Use of Floor Distributors is optional.
Network Termination Point (NT): is the point at which the In-building Physical Infrastructure (IPI)
of a building unit terminates. A building unit may have multiple NTs.
High-speed-ready: means that the Outside Plant (OSP) and the In-building Physical Infrastructure
(IPI), hosting all necessary passive network elements, enable data delivery at a minimum speed
of 100 Mbps.
Telecommunications Room (TR): is an enclosed architectural space designed to contain
telecommunications equipment, cable terminations, and a Building Distribution Frame (BDF). This
room is also used as a collocation area to house various equipment and cables used to distribute
telecommunication, image and security services to each Unit.
Unit: means town house, residential apartment, office space, or any other closed entity within a
building.
Multi-dwelling Unit (MDU): refers to two or more Units that are joined by a common wall or
property boundary. Examples of MDUs include apartments, office and commercial premises,
shopping malls and the like. An MDU may consist of multiple towers that are part of a common
main building.
Single-dwelling Unit (SDU): means a structure that contains only one Unit (residence / office /
commercial premise).
Unit Distributor (UD): means an element which concentrates all cables of a Unit.
Developer: means a Person developing real estate through any of the following:
• Preparing New Development sites for residential, commercial, industrial, governmental, or any other special
purpose or public use (Land Developer).
• Construction of buildings (Building Developer).

Often, the owner of the real estate is also the Developer, he is responsible for observing Saudi
building codes for construction and land development works.

6
3 Configuration

Construction of a new MDU provides an opportunity to incorporate a High-speed-ready broadband

infrastructure at relatively low cost. The installations of such infrastructure have to be done in three areas:
access area, riser area and the office/housing area. For a smooth implementation, the following infrastructure
elements shall be taken into account at the planning stage of the building:

 Access Point
 Access Area
 Telecommunications Room
 Riser Area
 Floor Distributor

3.1 Reference Configuration

a) The following figure shows the reference configuration for In-building Physical Infrastructure (based on
ISO/IEC 11 801 and ITU Rec. L.82).

Figure 1: Reference configuration for In-building Physical Infrastructure

7
b) There shall be at least one Access Point per MDU. Access Points shall be accessible to public
Telecommunications Networks. Access Points are the demarcation point between Outside Plant and In-
building Physical Infrastructure. Access Points are connected to the Telecommunications Room through
two or more lead-in duct(s).

c) Each building in a New Development shall be equipped with a Telecommunications Room. This room
includes the BDF, where - via the Access area and the lead in ducts / cables – the outside and inside
cabling is mounted. In addition the Telecommunications Room serves as collocation area for equipment
required by public Telecommunications Networks. This equipment is also connected to the BDF. The BDF
allows connections between cabling coming from outside of the building with the inside cabling and
collocated equipment.

d) In MDUs a vertical riser area shall be provided between BDF and each floor. Each floor may contain a
Floor Distributor to connect between vertical and horizontal cabling. Each Unit is equipped with one or more
Network Terminations, which are connected to the Unit Distributor. The Unit Distributor is then connected
to the Floor Distributor.

8
3.2 Options for the Internal Cabling

The reference configuration allows for two options of the internal cabling.

3.2.1 Floor Distributor Topology

Figure 2: Option 1 – Floor distributor topology configuration for In-building Physical Infrastructure

a) The floor distributor topology represents the reference configuration. It is the preferred solution for MDU. A
Floor Distributor is installed in each floor of the building. Each Unit Distributor connects directly to the Floor
Distributor that is connected to the Building Distribution Frame.

b) The Floor Distributor topology is normally used for buildings with more than 10 Units as it limits cable lengths
and capacity in the riser area.

c) The Floor Distributors allow for higher flexibility of the In-building Physical Infrastructure. Further, this
configuration potentially reduces the length of the cables as connections

9
between Floor Distributors are possible. On the other hand, it requires additional investments for infrastructure
elements (Floor Distributors). Further, Floor Distributors represent a potential source of faults.

3.2.2 Star Topology

(‫أ‬
Figure 3: Option 2 – Star topology configuration for In-building Physical Infrastructure

a) The star topology deviates from the reference configuration as it lacks a Floor Distributor. Each Unit Distributor
connects directly to the Building Distributor Frame.

b) Such configuration is normally used for up to 10 Units in a building as it requires longer cable lengths and
considerable capacity in the riser area.

c) The advantage of star topology configuration lies in the elimination of the interface of the Floor Distributer.
Such configuration saves costs and reduces sources of error (Floor Distributer). On the other hand, the riser
area must be capable of accommodating larger conduits, sleeves, etc. as more cables are needed.

10
4 Main Requirements

4.1 General Requirements

a) All MDU shall be equipped with a High-speed-ready In-building Physical Infrastructure, from the Access Point
up to the NTs. Planning and design of the In-building Physical Infrastructure shall be executed by Persons
specialized in such planning and design.

b) In-building Physical Infrastructure in MDU shall be future-proof.

c) It is highly recommended that only components that have been tested and accepted by internationally
accredited and recognized laboratories are used.

d) In-building Physical Infrastructure shall have capacity to provide at least four fiber connections per Unit from
the Access Point to the Telecommunications room. From the Telecommunications Room there are at least
four connections (fibers, coaxial, or twisted pair Ethernet) to the Unit Distributor (UD). From UD there is one
connection to each NT.

e) For international specifications (ITU-T, ISO/IEC, etc.), the latest version shall apply.

11
4.2 Requirements for Mobile Services

a) In-building Physical Infrastructure may be used to facilitate mobile network coverage.

b) It is recommended to coordinate during the planning stage with mobile Service Providers to identify whether
a building is suitable as a location to host masts. In this case a fiber connection is required between the Access
Point and the mast, a Network Termination at the mast shall be made available according to the requirement
of the mobile Service Provider(s).

c) To facilitate good indoor coverage for mobile services, indoor antenna systems and repeaters may be installed
within the building. In this case, early coordination with mobile operators is mandatory to ensure service
provision. In addition, coordination with mobile operators is useful to identify the proper locations for such
indoor antenna systems and repeaters.

d) Adequate power sources, cooling systems, firefighting systems, etc. shall be provided in accordance with the
project design requirements.

12
5 Specific Requirements for In-building Infrastructure Elements

3 Reference Configuration

a) Construction of a new SDU provides an opportunity to incorporate a High-speed-ready broadband

infrastructure at relatively low cost. The installations of such infrastructure have to be done in three areas:
access area, riser area and the office/housing area. For a smooth implementation, the following
infrastructure elements shall be taken into account at the planning stage of the building:

 Access point
 Access area
 Telecommunications Space (containing the UD)
 Riser area

b) The following figure shows the reference configuration for In-building Physical Infrastructure (based on
ISO/IEC 11 801 and ITU Rec. L.82).

Figure Error! Bookmark not defined.: Reference configuration for In-building Physical Infrastructure
c) There shall be at least one Access Point per SDU. Access Points shall be accessible to public Telecommunications
Networks. Access Point are the demarcation point between Outside Plant and In-building Physical Infrastructure.

26
d) The SDU shall be equipped with a Telecommunications Space. This space includes the UD, where via the
access area and the lead in ducts / cables the outside and inside cabling is mounted. In addition, the
Telecommunications Space serves as collocation area for equipment required by public
Telecommunications Networks. This equipment is also connected to the UD. The UD allows connections
between cabling coming from outside of the building with the inside cabling and equipment from public
Telecommunications Networks.

e) For SDU, at least one Network Termination at the Telecommunications Space must be installed. Each
room may be equipped with one or more Network Terminations, which are connected to the Unit
