Proper ICT infrastructure begins at the foundational level with standardized, safe, and compliant physical connections. As the technical regulator of Papua New Guinea’s telecommunications landscape, NICTA plays a crucial role in managing Cabling Awareness by enforcing strict standards for telecommunications cabling and licensing certified installers. Raising awareness on this topic ensures that businesses, technicians, and the public understand the importance of using approved materials and certified personnel, which prevents network interference, optimizes data speeds, and safeguards properties from electrical or fire hazards.
