Etisalat by e& NOC Approvals
Etisalat NOC Approvals in Dubai
New buildings and major renovations in the UAE need telecom infrastructure that meets Etisalat by e& design standards before services can be connected. That covers telecom rooms, risers, cable containment, structured cabling and fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, plus the external ducting to the building. SBM Contracting prepares the designs, manages the e& NOC submissions and builds the infrastructure to the approved drawings.
Our scope includes:
- 1
Telecom infrastructure design to the e& in-building specification and FTTH guidelines
- 2
Preparation and submission of NOC drawings and application documents
- 3
External ducting and manhole layouts for the building connection
- 4
Installation of telecom rooms, risers, cable containment and structured cabling
- 5
Coordination of e& site inspections and comments
- 6
Handover of telecom rooms and documentation for service activation
Why Choose SBM Contracting
Telecom NOCs are often left until late in a project, which delays occupancy when services cannot be connected. SBM Contracting plans the telecom infrastructure alongside the MEP design, so e& approval and connection follow the construction programme.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is e&’s approval that a building’s telecom infrastructure design and installation meet its standards, so the building can be connected to e& fixed and mobile services.
For new buildings, villas and compounds, for extensions, and for renovations that change telecom rooms, risers or cabling, as well as for the external ducting that connects a plot to the e& network.
e& publishes an in-building telecommunication network specification and FTTH network installation guidelines covering telecom rooms, risers, containment, cabling and mobile coverage. Designs are checked against these documents.
Typically site and floor plans, telecom room and riser layouts, structured cabling and containment drawings, external ducting drawings and the application form, prepared by the project consultant.
Design submission and review, approval of the drawings, installation on site, inspection by e&, rectification of any comments, then handover of the telecom rooms for service activation.
Many buildings are served by both operators, so developers often obtain both e& and du NOCs. We coordinate both so the infrastructure meets each operator’s requirements.
It depends on the size of the project and how complete the design is. Starting the telecom design early, alongside the MEP design, avoids delays to service connection.
Fees are set by the approving authority or management company and depend on the type and size of the works. We confirm the applicable fees during our initial review and give you a clear quote for our services.
The installation can fail inspection and need rework, and the building cannot be connected until the comments are closed, which can delay occupancy.
