Annex A
(normative)
Additional requirements for multi-tenant buildings
A.1 INTRODUCTION
Annexes A and B focus on the pathways and spaces that are common to multi-tenant
buildings and campuses.
Telecommunications pathways and spaces in multi-tenant buildings are challenged by the
phased nature of their use. After the building is constructed and the first group of tenants
moves in, the tenant’s telecommunications needs may immediately cause modifications to the
building. Over a span of years, as tenants cycle through the building, evolving tenant needs
will oblige the owner/agent of the building to adapt its installations to these demands.
Multi-tenant commercial office and residential buildings have life cycles that mirror that of
single-tenant buildings. Many buildings are over 100 years old. Over time, these older
buildings have become severely challenged to support escalating demands on their pathways
and spaces as a result of tenants’ ever-increasing needs for telecommunications connectivity.
Figure A.1 illustrates a representative model for the various functional elements that comprise
multi-tenant pathways and spaces for a building. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive
representation. It depicts the relationship between the elements and how they are configured
to create a total system. Table A.1 provides a summary of the telecommunications spaces.
Elements of multi-tenant spaces include, but are not limited to,
• entrance room,
• access provider space,
• service provider space,
• common equipment room and
• common telecommunications room.

A.2 Entrance facilities
A.2.1 Entrance location considerations
Consideration should be given to facility, occupants’ and users’ telecommunications wireline
and wireless connectivity needs. If access to both wireline and wireless services is required,
then the entrance facilities may require adjustment in size, quantity and location. Mechanical
fixtures (e.g., piping, ductwork, pneumatic tubing) not related to the support of the entrance
facility should not be installed in, pass through, or enter the telecommunications entrance
facility.
A.2.2 Telecommunications service entrance pathway
Telecommunications service entrance pathways shall be specified to support the initial and
forecasted telecommunications needs including the total building area served and wireline
and wireless tenant connectivity requirements. The forecasted telecommunications needs
shall be agreed upon between the building owner and the designer. Accommodations should
be made for multiple service entrance points to support multiple access providers.
A.2.3 Access
Access to the entrance room shall be controlled by the primary or secondary responsible
organization (see table 1). Signage, if used, should be developed within the security plan of
the building.
A.2.4 Wireless
A.2.4.1 Line of sight
Wireless transmission/reception device placement is critical to its performance. Obstructions
to a wireless transmission/reception device function can take many forms including radio
frequencies, electrical and physical objects. Obstructions may be on the same platform, on an
adjoining building or be located some distance away. Wireless transmission/reception devices
shall be in line of sight with its target system if required by the employed technology. Certain
systems will not function properly if the wireless transmission/reception device’s line of sight
is obstructed.
A.2.4.2 Cable pathways
Cable pathways from tower-mounted wireless transmission/reception devices should be
consolidated where possible on the tower and remain consolidated along their route to the
access provider space. The most direct route between the wireless transmission/reception
device and the entrance facility should be followed. To protect cables from environmental
damage and isolate cables from pedestrian traffic, they should be placed inside conduit or in
cable tray, or be otherwise secured from physical damage.
18010 Amend. 1© ISO/IEC:2005(E) – 11 –
A.2.4.3 Location
Depending upon function and site conditions, wireless service transmission/reception spaces
may be located at the building’s upper rooftop, outside walls or on lower roof setbacks.
Wireless service transmission/reception points may also be located inside the building.
Wherever possible, wall-mounted wireless transmission/reception device support structures
should be mounted at a minimum of 2 m above surfaces where foot traffic may occur.
A.2.4.4 Support structures
A.2.4.4.1 General
A structural analysis shall be carried out by a relevant specialist to aid in the design and
placement of wireless transmission/reception device support structures.
A.2.4.4.2 Towers
Where the location or height of the building makes it a desirable wireless transmission/
reception device site, consideration should be given to installation of a tower on top of the
building. Towers are desirable because they allow efficient use of limited rooftop space, and
offer significant flexibility regarding space planning. Multiple access providers and other users
may share space on a single tower.
A.2.4.4.3 Non-penetrating wireless transmission/reception device mounts
Wireless transmission/reception devices that are of limited weight and size may be installed
on mounts, which are not fastened to the building structural members. These types of wireless
transmission/reception device mounts are often referred to as sled mounts, ballast mounts or
non-penetrating wireless transmission/reception device mounts. These mounts remain
secured to the rooftop by their own weight plus addition of dead weights to keep the wireless
transmission/reception device in place. The amount of weight (ballast) required is calculated
with consideration given to loading created by wind and ice build-up on the wireless
transmission/reception device and supporting system. In some cases, these mounts are
tethered for increased stability. Local regulations may provide specific requirements that have
to be observed. The building owner has to be consulted for permission to add load to the roof.
A.2.4.4.4 Penetrating wireless transmission/reception device mounts
Wireless transmission/reception device mounting systems that penetrate either the rooftop or
walls of a building are commonly employed. The primary considerations with such systems
are the loading that the system places on the structure and waterproofing of any penetration
points.
A.2.4.5 Design considerations
Electrical service shall be sized to support functions that include, but are not limited to
antenna lighting, de-icing and motor-operated functions where required. Where mandated by
regulatory code, automatic switchover to standby power shall be provided. Sizing of the
electrical service shall be carried out by a relevant specialist.
A.3 Access provider spaces and service provider spaces
A.3.1 General
Access to the access provider spaces and service provider spaces shall be controlled by the
primary or secondary responsible organization (see table 1). Common approaches include
lockable cabinets and caged spaces.
– 12 – 18010 Amend. 1 © ISO/IEC:2005(E)
A.3.2 Location
A.3.2.1 General
Access provider spaces and service provider spaces should be in close proximity to the
common equipment room (CER). The access provider and service provider spaces should be
selected so that the area may be expanded. Access provider spaces and service provider
spaces shall be configured so that each can be accessed through common-use corridors.
Wireless access provider spaces should be located as close as practical to the wireless
transmission/reception devices to which they are connected.
A.3.2.2 Electromagnetic interference
Access provider and service provider spaces shall be located away from sources of
electromagnetic interference. Examples of such noise sources i
