Network Infrastructure Planning

ITS Communications Services provides planning guidance to support campus construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects that may impact UCSB's communications network. This includes coordination on wiring standards, fiber optic cable plant needs, and exterior antenna installations.

When to contact us

Contact ITS early in the planning process if your project may involve:
 

  • New construction or building renovation
  • Telecommunications wiring, pathways, or spaces
  • Fiber optic cable needs
     
  • Temporary facilities or interim locations
  • Exterior antenna installation
  • Network design, estimating, or scheduling considerations

Standards and Guidelines

Project teams should review UCSB’s current communications infrastructure standards and planning guidelines before developing construction documents, specifications, or cost estimates.

Fiber Optic Cable and Antenna Requests
