minimum body-to-antenna distance of 200mm must be maintained when wireless access

points are operational. DETE exceeds this requirement by mandating all Wireless

Access Points shall not be installed in any location where a minimum radial spatial

clearance of 300mm from any surface of the Wireless Access Point to nearby persons

cannot be achieved

b) Where wireless connectivity is required within a classroom, provisioning of active

equipment will occur outside the main Building Contract and will be organised via the

Department of Education, Training and Employment, Facilities Project Office (FPO). The

Electrical consultant is required to provide AutoCAD electronic drawing (.DWG) files so

that a predictive survey can be undertaken. The procedures and processes can be found

in the Departments Active Network Infrastructure standard

c) Where practical, a wireless access survey should be undertaken by a qualified

professional to ensure that an adequate level of connectivity is maintained throughout

Refer to the Departments Active Network Infrastructure standard for DETE voice equipment

requirements and procurement.

10.4 Design Requirements

a) This section contains requirements for architects, engineers and telecommunications

distribution designers regarding DETE procedures for ICT cabling projects. This applies

to projects that entail primarily telecommunications distribution work (such as

telecommunications distribution infrastructure replacement projects) as well as to

architectural projects and other work (such as a new building or campus) that involve

telecommunications distribution design.

b) This section is not intended to supersede the requirements in the State of Queensland

Architects Act 2002 and Professional Engineers Act 2002, but rather to complement

them, providing additional requirements that apply specifically to telecommunications

distribution design projects at DETE facilities.

c) It is intended that the requirements in this section be considered contractually binding for

professional firms providing telecommunications distribution design services.

d) All ICT cabling tender and construction documentation including specification and

drawings shall be endorsed by the DETE ITB Design Authority and DETE Facilities

Project Office (FPO) prior to being issued. The DETE ITB Design Authority or nominated

representative shall respond in writing either endorsing the documentation or advising of

the changes required.

e) In order to achieve successfully designed, constructed and provisioned

telecommunication facilities, it is imperative that the telecommunications distribution

design be incorporated during the preliminary architectural design phase.

f) The Architects & Engineers shall notify the Working Party members of all scheduled

design and construction meetings, with agendas attached, and forward copies of all

meeting notes.

28

10.6 Future Growth

DETE facilities continually require expansion to meet increasing curriculum delivery demands.

The Architects, Engineers, and Designer shall consider the future growth requirements for the

facility when telecommunications distribution infrastructure is designed for a project. Within the

campus areas affected by the current project(s), the main backbone telecommunications

distribution infrastructure shall be designed and sized to readily accommodate the identifiable

future growth.

a) Following are areas where this design criterion is most significant;

- Horizontal Distribution Systems

- Fibre Optic Backbone Distribution Systems

- Equipment rooms

- Telecommunications Entrance Facilities

b) To determine the size and design of telecommunications distribution infrastructure to

support the future growth, the Designer shall gather and review planning information

about the facility from;

- The Principal Consultant (Architect)

- The Project Manager

- The DETE Facilities Project Co-ordinator

- The DETE ITB Design Authority

- The DETE Facilities Project Office

- The project Electrical Engineer (re: power outlet and circuit co-ordination)

- The project Mechanical Engineer (if required)

- Officers of the Commissioning Body, as necessary

- School nominated representatives (e.g. Principal, ICT Coordinator etc.)

- Regional System Technician and/or Regional Technology Manager

Page 29: DETE - Department of Education and Training · AI companies shall be accredited for GITC (Government Information Technology Conditions) under module 1 - Hardware Acquisition and Installation,

29

c) The Designer shall provide a telecommunications distribution infrastructure pathway

design sized to support the project(s) with the capacity to economically support future

requirements identified from the sources listed above that would obviously utilise the

same pathway or portions thereof. The Designer shall review this information and a

decision shall be made for the design and size criteria for the telecommunications

distribution infrastructure on the project(s) in areas such as:

- Placement of cabling pathways that avoid foundation footprints of future

buildings.

- Size and layout of Equipment Rooms (ER) to accommodate all of the future

growth identified above.

- Design and construction methods used for the ER in the current project that

allows future expansion with the least amount of expense and disruption to the

facility operations.

d) Designs shall take into consideration the usable floor space when sizing pathways,

rooms and spaces not just the immediate installation requirements at the time of the

design.

10.9 DETE Topology

A hierarchical star topology is mandated by the QGEA. DETE manages over 1400 networks

state-wide, for that reason the need for standardisation far outweighs the most economical

solution.

Before commencing any proposed ICT works it is vital to be familiar with any other project/works

proposed or being conducted within that site. All cabling infrastructure is expected to be reliable

for its rated and warranted lifetime. To provide adequate performance to support network

equipment both current at the time of installation as well as for at least a further 15 years, co-

existing or proposed projects may need to impact the current SoW.

10.10 Confidentiality

The building project electrical and data designer shall keep confidential all records and

information obtained unless the information is of a public nature. All such records and information

shall be stored at all times in a safe and secure place in order to maintain such confidentiality.
