Electrical GuidelinesTechnical Services & Production - Electrical ServicesFrom 15amps single phase up to 100amps three phase, including all required equipment such as distribution boards, you can choose to have your power supply operating during show timings or opt for an uninterrupted 24-hour supply instead. Water supply and drainage can be arranged directly to your display features / exhibition stands whether you require a continuous pipeline or a one-time fill for special water features. Depending on your requirements, we also provide compressed air ranging from 50 to 750 litres / pm. The official contractor needs to ensure that all connections are deemed safe before asking DWTC’s utility department to switch them on. Please ensure you order a sufficient number of sockets to prevent overloading and that you order electrical connections in advance to avoid delays on-site. Adaptors and extension leads should be ordered from your official contractor as DWTC does not provide them. Electricity supply is brought to the stands from underneath the flooring thus it is not possible to install or alter mains connections after commencement of stand construction. The power supply within the Venue:

• Single Phase: 15amp, 30amp• Three Phase: 15amp, 30amp, 60amp, 100amp

VENUE GUIDELINES AND POLICIES

Health and Safety Rules and RegulationsThe full ‘DWTC Health and Safety Rules and Regulations’ are available in Appendix C of this document.

Risk Assessment and Method StatementInsert the ‘Risk Assessment Template and Method Statement’ document to identify work related hazards and to evaluate whether enough precautions have been taken.

Special Effects / High Risk Equipment and Substance Approvals / Vehicles Display on Stands

If you plan to have special effects such as pyrotechnics, haze, laser or smoke machines, use air compressors, compressed gas, aquariums, fountains, water screens, electrical fat fryers (for food related events only), balloons, candles or flames on your stand, please complete the ‘Submission Forms for High Risk Equipment and Substance Approvals’ in Appendix A to get the required approvals from DWTC’s Health and Safety team and if necessary from Dubai Police and/or Dubai Civil Defence.

The deadline for submitting the documents is at least 2 weeks prior to the use of the equipment.

Emergency Procedures and Evacuation PlanFor the Venue’s full Emergency Procedures and Evacuation Plan, please refer to Appendix B of this document.

Telecommunication ServicesWireless and wired internet services as well as telephone lines and telecom services for exhibitors must be ordered using the ’Data and Telecom Form’ that can be found in Appendix A.

Due to the variability of wireless network signals within the exhibition environment, Dubai World Trade Centre operates the following:

Wireless internet networks installed by exhibitors and their contractors can only function on 2.4GHz, however DWTC does not recommend this for product demonstration due to interference from multiple networks and is unable to offer any technical support on this frequency.

Dubai World Trade Centre operates a “Clean Air” policy on wireless internet networks functioning on 5GHz and will reserve the right to switch off any unauthorised 5GHz wireless networks

The “5GHz Wireless Internet Access” product only operates on the 5GHz wireless band. To know if your device supports 5GHz radio you can search www.gsmarena.com to see the specifications of your smartphone or tablet under DATA _ WLAN. If it has “Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n” then it only supports 2.4GHz, if it has “Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n” then it supports 5GHz.

Clean Air Policy

a. Purpose As the 5GHz Wi-Fi wireless networking uses the shared resource of the unlicensed radio

frequencies, it is necessary to regulate the usage of such devices within the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) venues.

By applying this policy, reliable and secure Wi-Fi based services can be provided at DWTC. This policy applies to all 5GHz wireless networking devices and users on DWTC premises.

b. PolicyOwnership and Management of Radio Airspace DWTC is the owner of the 5GHz unlicensed radio frequencies on its property, that is,

the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands used in wireless networking. DWTC is responsible for managing these radio frequencies for the benefit of DWTC users. DWTC may restrict use of any devices that can cause interference in the unlicensed radio frequency ranges.

DWTC is solely responsible for providing wireless networking services within its venues and offices. No other entity may deploy wireless network access points or other wireless service in its space. Private wireless access points in the exhibition halls, concourse areas, meeting rooms or offices are strictly prohibited. DWTC reserves its right to sanction non-compliance.

Page 11

Page 13: Exhibitor Manual - nanotechme.com€¦  · Web viewis centrally located in the heart of Dubai's business district and only 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport. The venue

DWTC is responsible for maintaining a secure network and will deploy adequate security mechanisms to support wireless networking in the venues.

DWTC deployed a 5GHz wireless network to cover all its venues, based on the 802.11a/n standards. DWTC will work with other entities to accommodate special needs, where technically feasible. DWTC will collaborate with organizers and tenants where devices used for specific business reasons may require specific solutions.

Wireless Service Considerations Wireless networking has bandwidth limitations compared to the wired network. The

wireless network should be viewed as augmenting the wired network, to provide more flexible network use. Applications that require large amounts of bandwidth, or are sensitive to changes in signal quality and strength may not be appropriate for wireless access.

Standards supported IEEE 802.11a/n is the preferred wireless networking standard. Security standards may be applied as needed.

Wired internet: A computer or device with a RJ45 network interface is required to use DWTC wired internet

connections. Internet lines are activated on the last day of build-up. Please advise if you require the

service prior to this date.

Live EntertainmentIf you are planning any form of live entertainment such as singers, musicians, fashion show models, dancers, DJs or band players on your stand you must apply for an Entertainer’s Permit through the organiser.If you do not apply for the Entertainer’s Permit on time (3 months up to 4 weeks before the performance) or if you do not receive an approval and the performance goes ahead, you will be subject to a fine issued by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing.If required, please contact us for further details.

Raffle DrawIf part of your stand activities includes conducting a raffle draw, you must be aware of the policy that has been issued by the Dubai Department of Economic Development.This policy and the ‘Raffle Draw Application form’ can be found in Appendix A of this document. Once completed, please return this form to the organiser.

Service of Alcohol and Alcohol DisplayDWTC is the sole alcohol license holder for the premises and reserves the right to serve alcohol at events after prior approval. As per the local regulations any kind of alcohol service during an exhibition is not allowed on stands or on the exhibition floor. The service of alcohol at a private event is subject to Dubai Police approval.

This policy is also applicable to exhibitors or agencies involved in your event.  A consolidated list needs to be returned to the organiser 3 weeks prior to the start of build-up and is required by Dubai local authorities.
