15 July 2014
In 1996, the Info-communications Development Authority of Singapore (“IDA”) (then the Telecommunication Authority of Singapore) put in place an Internal Wiring Framework (“IW Framework”) to regulate and license persons who carry out internal telecommunication wiring work (“IW Work”) within end-user premises. The IW Framework aims to safeguard end-users’ welfare and protect the integrity and safety of the public telecommunications network, by requiring IW Work contractors to undergo relevant training, as well as to ensure that their wiring work complies with a minimum level of standard.
At present, IDA’s IW Framework focuses on twisted-pair (category 3) cables which support the wire-based public switched telephone network. With the deployment of new access networks, such as the optical fibre-based Nationwide Broadband Network, IDA believes that it is timely to conduct a review of the IW Framework, in particular, to assess whether the IW Framework should be restructured and revised to also focus on the three other types of telecommunication cables that are currently deployed – i.e., coaxial, structured (category 5E and above) and optical fibre cables.
