  1. Communications Design in Military Projects Communications Design and implementation 2010

  2. What is Involved in Communications Design? • RFP’s • Design Narratives • Outlet Locations and Type • Detail Drawings • Specifications (SpecsIntact)

  3. What Systems are Typically Involved?

  4. Systems and their Design Guide Criteria

  5. What is the I3A Technical Criteria • Design of Information Infrastructure Architecture • Based on ANSI/TIA/EIA Standards with DOD preferences • Establishes an Army-wide IT architectural design criteria for telecommunications • Takes precedence in all cases over the UFC 3-580-01 • Not a specification, a Technical Criteria for design

  6. I3A Design Requirements • ANSI/TIA/EIA Standards are the basis as a minimum • CSI Master Format 2004 numbers and titles • ISEC - reviews, approves, or make comments for correction to the contract drawings for installation • Telecommunication designs shall be rendered and stamped by a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD)

  7. What are the TIA/EIA Standards

  8. Who Developed the Standards • More than 150 Subject Matter Experts Include: • Architects • Commissioning Agents • Electrical Engineers • Energy Consultants • Fire Protection Consultants • Information Technology • Insurance Risk Assessors • Mechanical Engineers • Security Consultants • Structural Engineers

  9. What is BICSI?

  10. “BICSI” • BICSI (pr. “BIK SEE”) (the “Building Industry Consulting Service International”) • Headquartered in Tampa, Florida the organization has membership in nearly 100 countries. • Credentials are recognized worldwide by the telecommunications industry, DOD, and USACOE for cabling installers and designers who specialize in complex communications systems

  11. Why an RCDD?

  12. BICSI Specialist Credentials

  13. Designer/Contractor Roles • Contractor does not have to be an RCDD or have one on staff • Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing contractors are not required to be a P.E. or have on staff • BICSI Technician Certification for contractor • Contractor can’t possibly design after building design is complete • No oversight if contractor is designer and installer • RCDD designs and contractor installs

  14. Communications Drawings • It is the RCDD’s responsibility to provide “T” drawings not the contractor • CSI Master Format 2004: T-Sheets • Floor plans • Communications Room Detail • Riser Diagrams • Cable Tray Plan • Etc….

  15. Project Management • Project management is critical after design to ensure contractor installations are I3A compliant • Submittal Review • Inspections • Test Report Analysis • Random Testing

  16. Test Report Analysis

  17. Communications Design Coordination

  18. Pathways and Spaces

  19. Pre-Design Phase Meeting with Owner Why is a pre-design meeting needed with the owner? • I3A is a minimum criteria and does not cover all user preferences • Communications design is based on necessity and performance not functionally • To ensure that the RFP truly represents what the owner needs • Special applications the owner may have, and make sure the infrastructure design will match their equipment

  20. SIPRNET Secret Internet Protocol Router Network • SIPRNET version 5.0 Technical criteria published by USAISEC with mandates from CTTA , DISA, DAA, DOD, DOIM (NEC), NSTISSC, and TEMPEST • Design for SIPRNET shall be coordinated with the CTTA and DAA • CTTA determines the quantity and location of SIPRNET outlets • CTTA- reviews, approves or make comments for correction to the contract drawings for installation contract documents for installation

  21. SIPRNET Cont… • SIPRNET Environment: • Environment determines the need for a PDS • CAA (3 Classes) • LCA • UAA

  22. Conclusion • Information Transport Systems are designed per I3A and TIA/EIA Standards for the purpose of scalability, code compliance, standard compliance, and performance. • The I3A standards were created so that RCDD’s will design communications infrastructures that are standard across all Army-wide installations

  23. References • Technical Criteria for the Installation of Information Infrastructure Architecture, I3A (February 2010 ) • Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) • TIA/EIA Standards 2009 • CSI Master Format 2004 • Technical Guide for the Integration of SIPRNET, (Version 5.0, August 2008)

  24. Bits and Bytes • For example, it takes eight bits (1 byte) to store a single character. • The capital letter “A” is expressed digitally as 01000001. A small case “a” is represented in binary code as 01100001.
