Telecommunication Outside Plant Network :
The part of Network that is physically located outside
telecom company’s buildings or telecom operator’s
buildings. This includes cables, supporting structures,
certain equipment items such as load coil. Microwave
towers, antennas, and cable-system repeaters are not
considered on Outside plant.
(page 549, NEWTON’S TELECOM DICTIONARY, OCT. 1998).

Cabling work is the installation, connection or maintenance
(repair) of any wire, cable, optical fiber cable, tube or conduit
that are connected, or intended to be connected, to a
telecommunications network on the customer side of the
network boundary.

Very messy like

Out of orders and
standards
Why it become like those ?
Come up from operators :
• Do not care during the installation;
• Do not follow up in accordance of technical
standard;
• During the maintenance or repairing their
own cables, do not taken out the damaged
cables;
• Do not compliance with Environment Impact
Standard;
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Come up from institutions of Poles
Rental :
• Inho Have right to rent the poles for Telecom
Operators to hang;
• Event those institutions are set up the
standard and specifications for hanging on
electrical poles or telephone poles for
operators, but do not follow up and enforce to
operation violation;
• To allow all operators to hang their cables
across the main road, Boulevard, and any road
in city
Why does Aerial Cable come to existence ?
Several major factors are arising the aerial cable in the
telecommunications sector today in Cambodia as
below :
a).
b).
c).
d).
e).
f).
Inadequate OSP infrastructure in place when new carriers
are coming.
A shift in business and commercial telephones to VOIP
(Voice Over Internet Protocol) services, that is telephone via
the Internet;
Intense competition between ISPs
Exponentially increases in Internet usage for communications of all types;
Quick installation
Lower cost than underground system

because of

Wet and cut
off by any

Why do we need to reform and
strengthen this cable ?
 Need space for Public Constructions such as Sky
Bridge or Skyway Etc.
 To ensure beauty and secure safety of people in
Phnom Penh, Cities and Provinces within the
whole country.
 To enforce the use of public infrastructure.
 To protect existing cable systems from being
damaged as shown in previous presentations.
 Using underground cable means for outside
plant network can provide quality, beauty, no
environmental impact and improve the quality of
network.
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Use Underground Tube
Systems
Choice 1 :
Change to Underground
Cable means
Direct Buried to
underground
Solution
Choice 2 :
Change to Underground
Cable means only at the
main areas which
crossing Blvds, Roads
and Avenues and relocate Cable Aerials along
the streets.
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Use the existing or new
Underground tube
Systems
Use the totally insulated
support to hang Cable
Aerials along the streets.
Direct Buried to underground

Solution (Choice 1)
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Underground Cable Means
(Choice 1)
The act of burying in
underground tube or
direct burry are either
expensive even if the
operators are responsible
by their own or rental
from CFOCN/TC/Camintel
Meet difficulties if we
request permission to do
cabling work and it is affect
to mind set of people,
environmental impact
(Traffic, Beauty and Safety)
during operation.
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Bury in Underground Tube System
and relocate those cables which are
crossing along the streets
(Choice 2)
Spend less if we
relocate the cable
laying across Blvds and
Main Roads to
underground system
and modify the Cable
Aerials System which
are laying along the
streets.
It is applicable and not
affect to people’s
mindset and Social
environment at the time
of operation.

Operators who complied
with the Instruction
Notification by MPTC, TRC and EDC to all
Telecommunication Cable Operators
Measuring and Instruction from Phnom Penh
Municipality
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Basic Recommendations
 Minimize or stop laying new aerial cables, especially crossing over the roads
and Blvds in Cities, Provinces and Phnom Penh.
 Should offers two solutions for the network of underground telecom-
munication cables infrastructure which is crossing road: in urban areas
operators are required to share (conduits, manhole or handhole & cables
riser pipe), while other areas operators can work together on the basis of
economic relations.
 All operators should coordinate with EDC and other relevant units to create
the plan of arrangement and to compact the bundles aerial cable along the
road in metropolitan area.
 Appoint a single operator/company to coordinate, implement and build the
conduit system crossing the street. Specifically in urban areas which are
required to be shared.
 Shall purchase cable with print in label name of company permanent on cable
shield.
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Basic Recommendations
 Management of aerial cable is done by sorting bundle of compact,
indicating type sign (cable tag) and maintaining the minimum span.
 Select proper cable types and accessories suitable with installation method
and environment conditions.
 Promote efficiency in the preventive maintenance one’s own OSP network.
 Modify each span cable along the street by deploying the totally insulated
support for all aerial cables together.
 Suitable poles will be used depending on the particular size and weight of
cable. The aerial cables must be placed high enough to preserve safety in
metropolitan areas
TRC – 2015 Confidential
Basic Recommendations
 Telco operators, ISPs and cable TV companies should adopt standards,
new technologies, modern techniques for OSP network to intensify
coordination and cooperation to ensure successful implementation to
preserve the urban landscape for cleaner, safer and fresher atmosphere
aimed at gradually moving to "Civilizations – Modernization”.
 Encourage Telco operators /ISPs to share the existing underground
facilities infrastructure – if not, there won’t be enough space available for
new construction.
 When constructing the network of underground telecommunication cables
which are crossing main streets, we shall offer solutions to promote joint
construction of the conduit system (infrastructure).
 Operators must ensure that all construction of new conduit system should
be done in way that is available for future use (space for expansion).
