Italiana Conduttori provides its clients with what they need to meet the new installation requirements imposed by both advancing technologies and the regulations now in force.

We quote the article of the law that deals precisely with the subject matter for our readers' benefit:

Art. 135 Law 164/2014 Standards for the digital infrastructure of buildings:

1. All newly constructed buildings for which applications for building permits are submitted after July 1, 2015 must be equipped with a passive multiservice physical infrastructure inside the building, consisting of adequate installation space and high-speed fiber optic communications systems to the network endpoints. The same obligation applies, as of July 1, 2015, in the case of works requiring the issuance of a building permit under Article 10, Paragraph 1(c). In-building multiservice physical infrastructure is defined as the set of installations inside buildings containing access networks cabled with fiber optics with fixed or wireless termination that provide access to ultra-wideband services and connect the building access point with the network endpoint.

2. All newly constructed buildings for which applications for building permits are submitted after July 1, 2015 must be equipped with an access point. The same obligation applies, as of July 1, 2015, in the case of deep renovation works requiring the issuance of a building permit under Article 10. An access point is defined as the physical point, located inside or outside the building and accessible to companies authorized to provide public communications networks, that enables connection to the in-building infrastructure set up for ultra-wideband fiber optic access services.

CAVEL has expanded its catalog with products dedicated to fiber optics, and more precisely to home and/or condominium multi-service high-speed systems made mandatory by legislation, i.e., the so-called FTTH (Fibre To The Home) network.

To meet these needs, by establishing a partnership with Fibernet, we offer products in line with our rigorous choices in terms of product quality, as well as the authenticity of the made in Italy label.

This synergy translates into the offering of MULTIFIBER BUILDING^®, that is, everything needed to manage multifiber condominium systems for terrestrial TV, Satellite TV, FTTH (Fiber To The Home)

Such a system offers the essentials for cabling with fiber optics, with a system that not only complies with the dictates of the law, but also allows for a future-proof system to be set up.

This will make it possible to receive, even from multiple operators, different telephony services, data traffic, video services; and to receive the signals of television services from both digital terrestrial and satellite, all with fiber optics and the ultra-wideband potential they can offer. Lastly, the aforementioned legislation Law 164/2014, speaks of 'Electronic Communications System'. Previously it referred to the individual systems that make it up: thus TV Reception, Telephone, Broadband, video surveillance, intrusion detection, etc. The reason why this new definition was coined is twofold: the integration of electronic systems requires not only to group them under a single type, but also to exploit the technical and economic synergies that make these systems more performing and less expensive.

FTTH by Cavel, a turnkey, pre-assembled and certified solution for a condominium system

Additional advantages of such a system are:

- EASE OF INSTALLATION - thanks to the use of pre-assembled components, which minimizes both "field" labor time and labor time in private homes (with the inconvenience this can entail);

- CERTIFICATION - efficiency is guaranteed as all components are assembled in the laboratory, where they are tested and certified;

- EASY WORK STEPS - the system is designed so that even the few working and splicing steps in the field can be done with as much comfort as possible, thanks to the fact that the CSOE (Building Optical Services Center, also known as the "star center") is modular; the individual modules can be detached and removed from the complete assembly; within the modules, the splice boards are removable for easier and more comfortable work on the individual components.

MINISTERIAL CERTIFICATION

The MULTIFIBER BUILDING^® is currently the only system in Italy to have been certified by the Ministry of Economic Development (M.I.S.E. certification), which, after subjecting the design, the various components and the assembled and finished system to careful checks on compliance with current regulations and functional tests, has confirmed and certified its perfect efficiency and quality.

The advantages of FTTH technology

Just as Energy Class has become a defining factor influencing the purchase of an apartment, so too will the technological features of a building soon assume the same importance.

Paragraph 3 of the article expressly provides that "Buildings equipped in accordance with this article may benefit, for the purposes of transfer, lease or sale of the building, from the voluntary and non-binding label of broadband-ready building".

There is much appeal in providing/having up-to-date and technologically innovative TV reception and broadband access systems, so living in a property that bears the aforementioned label, as the readiness of the technological systems satisfies Law 164, already proves to be an added value of the property itself.
