Colombia Initiates Consultation on RITEL Updates

Colombia has announced a public consultation regarding the update of the Technical Regulation for Internal Telecommunications Networks (RITEL). Its primary objective is to define the technical design parameters for infrastructure utilized in deploying internal telecommunications networks. This update aims to optimize the benefits for telecommunications users and streamline implementation, considering current trends in the construction sector and the evolving needs of the PRST.

The necessity for revising the RITEL is underscored by technological advancements and emerging construction practices that impact telecommunications infrastructure in multi-unit buildings. The document identifies key issues, such as the potential oversizing or undersizing of infrastructure, and the regulation’s failure to align with contemporary dynamics in the real estate sector.

In this context, both technical and economic factors influencing the implementation of the RITEL are examined, including advancements in transmission media and construction industry trends.
