To date, there are no such provisions for the migration of existing infrastructure as the
process has yet to be defined.
5 Transparency regarding civil engineering infrastructure
� Art. 17 of the Draft NGA Recommendation foresees the establishment of a database
containing information on (e.g.) geographical location, available capacity of all ducts 6 . In
case such a database exists already in your country, explain:
General remark: In its national broadband strategy the German federal government
announced the establishment of an infrastructure atlas. Generally, the approach of this
atlas is broader than the database mentioned in the NGA Recommendation and, in
particular, it is not related with particular wholesale products or market segments.
Furthermore, there are currently no data regarding the availability 7 or the physical
characteristics of the infrastructure. The infrastructure atlas can only be used by operators
for specific projects.
- Who established/runs this database: the NRA or another institution, possibly in cooperation
with the NRA?
NRA
- Which data are collected in this database?
� Fixed telecommunications infrastructure
o Routes of fibre networks down to the level of street cabinets / the last network
node before the level of the MDF
o Nodes: MDF, street cabinets
o Duct routes
� Wireless telecommunications infrastructure)
o Locations of radio transmitters
o Point-to-point radio systems
6 Note: In its Opinion to this Draft Recommendation BEREC suggested to replace “all ducts” with
“civil engineering infrastructure”.
7 For example, the infrastructure atlas does not show whether there are free ressources, which
might be used by other operators.
