		Revised: 1 April 2004

		The CSU has developed minimum criteria for voice, data, and video services provided by the TII project. The criteria define the base provisioning of the various services based on type of location and end user. The standards set forth in this document have served to establish a baseline reference for all CSU campuses for the purpose of budgeting and planning.
		Up to 15% of the Common Areas can be designated as Information Technology Areas ("High Tech" rooms, e.g., studio/classroom, lecture hall, multimedia center, library research application area and workstation hub, self-instructional computer laboratory environment, electronic conference room, video production/post production center). The voice, data and video service assignments will be designed for the room's unique specifications. As an example, a computer laboratory might be provisioned with a Category 5e, four-pair, copper wire for each microcomputer and printer in the room and a multi-mode fiber link for each server.
		*End Users*
		Every full-time faculty member, whether sharing an office or not, will have an individual voice and data service assignment consisting of four-pair copper wires. Each part-time faculty will have access to a voice and data service assignment, but not necessarily an individual assignment. Also, up to 10% of faculty offices (offices, not faculty members) can have new video service build-out, with coaxial and single-mode and multi-mode fiber optics cables as the medium depending on the need and function.
		All full and part-time staff members whose duties require frequent use of such resources, will have individual voice and data assignments; all others will be provided access to such services. Up to 5% of administrative areas (areas, not staff members) can be built out with video services.
		*Rooms*
		In every room that receives service, at least one station jack or outlet per room will be wired with up to three (3) four-pair wires. The campus has the option of substituting one coaxial (video) or multi-mode fiber (video or data) line for one copper wire set. A campus jack standard will be determined through the construction bid process.
		All instructional and academic spaces in common use ("Common Areas," e.g., classroom, laboratory, preparation environment) will have a voice, data, and video assignment. Humboldt has not yet chosen its medium for video distribution, but current thinking is to emphasize fiber.
		Up to 15% of the Common Areas can be designated as Information Technology Areas ("High Tech" rooms, e.g., studio/classroom, lecture hall, multimedia center, library research application area and workstation hub, self-instructional computer laboratory environment, electronic conference room, video production/post production center). The voice, data, and video service assignments will be designed for the room's unique specifications. As an example, a computer laboratory might be provisioned with a Category 5e, four-pair, copper wire for each microcomputer and printer in the room and a multi-mode fiber link for each server.
		*Buildings*
		All buildings will have voice provisions totaling the actual number of voice services required (including spares) plus 10% additional to support interior and exterior emergency telephones, elevator and public corridor telephones, public pay phones, public facsimile, telemetry, security, and surveillance, etc.
		All buildings will have data provisions totaling the actual number of data services required (including spares) plus 5% additional to support environmental safety and control systems, security and surveillance, public pay data ports, ATM and other kiosks, etc. All buildings will have video services totaling the actual number of video services installed plus 5% additional to support environmental safety and control systems, security and surveillance.
		*Data Speeds*
		The following data speeds will be supported by the new infrastructure.
			Service to the workstation via twisted pair copper: 100BaseT.
			Minimum intrabuilding data distribution: 100BaseT, but capable of 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet).
			Minimum interbuilding data distribution (backbone): 100BaseT, but capable of 1000BaseT
		*Implementation*
		It is our intent to provide the voice and data service as part of construction but implement the video build-out only on an "as needed" basis. We will work with the project's systems integrator (Pacific Bell and its subcontractor, Systems Analysis Integration Corporation – SAIC) on the final design of the video distribution system during the design stage for the electronics after construction is complete.
		*Caveat*
		All existing voice and data services will be included in the project and brought up to the minimum baseline standards. It also is our intent to add service wherever it does not exist but support is required as part of the baseline. However, constructions costs can escalate rapidly and unpredictably because they are based on many external factors. For example, when the cost of fuel or electricity increases, the cost of concrete and steel also jumps. For this reason, we may need to phase in new services over a longer period of time if sufficient funds are not available to implement all new services during the construction. We would do this by reducing the number of jacks installed, but ensure that all the conduit, raceways, risers, cable trays (i.e., the "physical" infrastructure) are completed during construction so that the campus can complete the project over time simply by installing jacks and pulling additional cable if necessary.
