PAS 700 Provision of ICT facilities and services in workplaces. Specification When an occupier moves into a workplace there is usually some effort required to set up ICT facilities and services. This could either be a simple task or a major challenge depending on what is already in place. There may be unforeseen costs in bringing in a broadband connection from a distant telephone exchange or routing telecommunications cables through solid concrete floors. The extent of installed ICT facilities, and the ease with which ICT services can be deployed has become a significant consideration for organizations choosing to relocate. This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) specifies the requirements for the provision of ICT facilities and services in a workplace. ICT facilities and services are implemented in layers. PAS 700 splits ICT facilities and services in buildings across four layers. Layers 1 and 2 are facility based. Layers 3 and 4 are service based. Each layer is dependent on the layers below it for operation, i.e. layer 3 services require layer 2 facilities to work.
