In 2014, mobile data traffic was nearly 30 times the size of the entire global Internet traffic in 2000. Over
the next five years, mobile data is projected to increase by a factor of 10. Capacity, access and reliability
are words often used to describe what current and future wireless infrastructure needs to be. Solutions
like distributed antenna systems (DAS) assist in providing capacity and access. And for a DAS, the design
and installation of the DAS is vital for the reliability demanded by users.
ANSI/BICSI 006-2015 is the first DAS infrastructure standard that provides designers and installers
both information on the types and components of a DAS and also provides requirements and Spanish Version

Information Technology Systems Design and Implementation
Best Practices for Healthcare Institutions and Facilities
Each day, it seems some new healthcare or IT development is released, increasing the pace of integration
of IT systems. Be it electronic health records, newer and faster diagnostic equipment or changing
inpatient care and experience, all are increasingly reliant on the stability of IT infrastructure.
But as designers can attest, healthcare design can be very complex, due to the number and variety of
systems, operational spaces and additional regulations specific to healthcare. Todays modern hospital
includes areas comparable to residential, commercial, general office and industrial environments, all of
which require not only the traditional phone and network connectivity, but other systems, as well. These additional systems include security and building
support, data and record archive and retrieval, and specialized communication (e.g., nurse call), all of which have added security requirements governing
access, encryption and even physical location.
To aid todays designer, ANSI/BICSI 004-2012, Information Technology Systems Design and Implementation Best Practices for Healthcare Institutions
and Facilities, has been released to provide guidance on the issues specific to the healthcare environment. Written for the wide variety of facilities,
including hospitals, outpatient clinics and skilled nursing facilities, this standard covers not only common telecommunications and IT infrastructure
concerns, but also specific healthcare systems, such as nurse call, interactive television/hospitality systems and connected medical imaging.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Practices for
Information Technology Systems
The request and adoption of building information modeling (BIM) for information and
communications technology (ICT) projects has been steadily increasing in recent years.
Architectural, engineering and construction firms all differ in what they require and ultimately
provide their client. When combined with the varying levels of information provided by
manufacturers that support all aspects of the construction industry, the result can be
inefficiencies, frustration and a failure to meet project expectations.
ANSI/BICSI 003-2014, Building Information Modeling (BIM) Practices for Information Technology
Systems is the first BIM standard written specifically for ICT. At its core, the standard provides detailed information about BIM content models and
object parameters, setting the recommended levels and guidelines for BIM models. Also contained are considerations about the integration of
BIM within projects, as well as identifying items within ICT systems that often enter into spatial conflicts with other areas of construction
(e.g., electrical, mechanical).
ANSI/BICSI 001-2009
Information Transport Systems Design Standard for
K-12 Educational Institutions
Education in schools is rapidly changing as new technology and teaching methodologies are developed.
ANSI/BICSI 001-2009, Information Transport Systems Design Standard for K-12 Educational
Institutions is the first standard available that is solely written for the design of ICT systems used within
the educational environments of K-12 (primary and secondary) schools and facilities. Providing
information that cuts across multidisciplinary design efforts, this standard provides direction,
allowing for savings in building construction and renovation, as well as the planning of future
growth and changes.
In addition, given the specialized needs of the end usersthe students themselvesANSI/BICSI 001-2009 goes beyond comparable design standards,
providing guidance in the selection and implementation of materials, such as types of cabling, to provide a safe environment for all.

Written by industry experts representing thousands of completed projects, the Outside Plant Design
Reference Manual (OSPDRM) focuses on outside plant properties, with the detailed information
contained applicable to all projects, large and small. In addition to covering traditional infrastructure
subjects such as cabling and pathways, the OSPDRM also covers items not typically found within
interior design work, such as right-of-way, permitting and service restoration.

Know How to Install Data, Voice and Video Cabling the Right Way
The BICSI Cabling Installation Program provides a career path for the professional development of highly competent cabling installers through
world-renowned training and internationally recognized credentials. A series of four progressive courses allows students to begin with basic
fundamentals and build their knowledge to include specialized systems and advanced copper and optical fiber structured cabling systems.
Credentialing exams are offered at the end of each course.
Those successfully completing the program will be experienced in the proper installation of data, voice and video cabling within the confines of a
commercial building structure. They will be able to pull wire/cable, and terminate and test copper and optical fiber cable to the highest specification.
The program offers core skills training, examinations and structured on-the-job training to meet the diverse needs of the ICT cabling industry. The
multiple levels of competency provide a career path for BICSI cabling installers.

Methods Manual
ICT systems have grown to be relied upon like other utilities, making the safe and optimum
installation of these systems of paramount importance. BICSI created the Information
Technology Systems Installation Methods Manual (ITSIMM) to address this need.
The foundation of the BICSI Cabling Installation Program, the ITSIMM provides cabling
installers, technicians and field managers with access to the best practices of installing
systems that meet and exceed the requirements of their clients.
Within its 900 pages, the ITSIMM not only delivers in-depth instruction on how to install,
test and diagnose issues of copper- and optical fiber-based cabling, it also provides details of
handling supporting structures and systems, including firestopping, bonding and grounding
(earthing), and cabling pathways. The ITSIMM also provides details for installing within
specialized environments, such as health care facilities, and addresses managing installation
projects.
The ITSIMM is the basis for all of the BICSI Installer and Technician registration exams and is
required for those attending BICSI installation courses.

damage. With the complexity of todays infrastructure allowing little margin for outages, any system, 607-2011
including the grounding and bonding network, can be the weakest link. Standard for
Telecommunications Bonding and Grounding
Planning and Installation Methods
for Commercial Buildings
NECA/BICSI 607 specifies aspects of planning and installation of telecommunications bonding and
grounding systems. While this standard aligns with related standards, such as the NEC and ANSI/TIA
607-A, Commercial Building Grounding (Earthing) and Bonding Requirements for Telecommunications,
additional requirements and information for components and connectors of these systems are also
included. And because the best design can be undone by poor implementation, a majority of NECA/BICSI
607 details installation methods and practices to minimize potential grounding system failure.

Telecommunications Cabling
Telecommunications Cabling
ANSI/NECA/BICSI 568-2006 was a joint effort between BICSI and the National Electrical
Contractors Association (NECA) prompted by concern over the lack of a standard for the installation of
telecommunications premises cabling systems. This standard describes minimum requirements and
procedures for installing the infrastructure for telecommunications, including balanced twisted-pair
copper cabling and optical fiber cabling that transport telecommunications, voice, data and video signals.
All work described in this standard is in accordance with NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in
the Workplace, and is also written to describe a neat and workmanlike manner as referenced by the
National Electrical Code (NEC).
