Sistema de Informação de Infraestruturas Aptas (SIIA) - Suitable Infrastructure Information System (SIIS)

The SIIS is the suitable infrastructure information system provided in Decree-Law No. 123/2009, changed and republished by Decree-Law No. 92/2017, 31 July, and the system which assures the provision of information relative to the infrastructures suited for the accommodation of electronic communication networks.

The SIIS should contain the following information:

a) Procedures and conditions governing the allocation of rights of way;

b) Announcements on the construction of infrastructure suitable for the accommodation of electronic communications networks;

c) Records, with geo-referenced, comprehensive and integrated information of all infrastructure suitable for the accommodation of electronic communications networks, including public ITUR infrastructure;

d) Procedures and conditions that apply to the access to and use of infrastructure which is suitable for the accommodation of electronic communications networks.

ANACOM is responsible for the design, management and maintenance of the SIIS, and is also responsible for maintaining its accessibility and availability.

The entities that provide information for inclusion in the SIIS are responsible for the permanent updating of information. Similarly, all information contained in the SIIS is binding upon the entities responsible for its production and provision.

Access to the SIIS is limited to the following organisations:

• The State, Autonomous Regions and local authorities;
• All entities which are subject to supervision or oversight by state agencies, Autonomous Regions or local authorities and which perform administrative functions (commercial and non-commercial), as well as state companies and concessionaires, in particular those working in areas of road and railway infrastructure, ports, airports, water supply, sanitation and transport and in the distribution of gas and electricity;
• Other organisations which are in possession of or which operate infrastructure encompassed by the public domain of the State, Autonomous Regions or local authorities;
• Electronic communications companies and organisations that are in possession of infrastructure suitable for carrying electronic communications networks used by the former in the exercise of their activity;
• Sector regulators.

Access to the SIIS is subject to compliance with the legal conditions required to obtain access credentials for this purpose.

The SIIS can be accessed through the GEO.ANACOMhttps://geo.anacom.pt/publico/home platform or through the SIIS - Suitable Infrastructure Information Systemhttps://siia.anacom.pt/SignIn website.

Organisations with access to the SIIS are subject to an accreditation procedure.

By completing the accreditation request formhttps://siia.anacom.pt/pedidocredenciacao/.

The application for accreditation must include identification information and documents which demonstrate that the individual making the request for accreditation on behalf of an entity is authorised for the purpose and that the contact email address given for the purposes of accreditation belongs to that individual. For this purpose, evidence can be provided by sending a power of attorney signed by whosoever has powers to represent the legal person (the signatures must be recognised in that quality) together with a copy of the identification documents belonging to the person making the request for accreditation. The application must also include the other required documentation as specified in the application form's instructions. Once the form has been completed and submitted, the application will be examined by ANACOM who will decide whether it is to be granted.

Yes.

However, access is always subject to completion of the application formhttps://siia.anacom.pt/pedidocredenciacao/.

No. Access to the SIIS is limited to the organisations detailed in question 5.

The entity administrator is the person who submits a request for accreditation on behalf of the applicant entity and is duly authorized for this purpose; i.e., the individual selected and mandated by each entity (as covered by article 26, paragraph 2 of the same Decree-Law, and including the sector regulators in addition to the entities referred to in article 2) to represent the entity in all matters related to the Sistema de Informação de Infraestruturas Aptas (SIIA) - Suitable Infrastructure Information System (SIIS).

If the request for accreditation is accepted, ANACOM will send the credentials (username and password) to the entity administrator. These credentials are confidential and should remain known only to the entity administrator; they must not be disclosed to any other person, since all operations performed on the SIIS application are associated with these credentials and will be kept on record.

With the credentials that grant access to the SIIS application, the entity administrator can perform the following tasks on behalf of the entity:

1. Perform detailed searches across the entire SIIS application;
2. Search and check all notifications, alerts and indicators on the SIIS homepage;
3. Search indicators on their entity. If the entity in question is a sector regulator, this search can include information on the entities under their regulation, as well as information on their own organisation.
4. Configure notifications on the SIIS homepage;
5. View, create/edit construction announcements, and submit expressions of interest in announcements published by other entities;
6. Search and view the details of other accredited entities in the SIIS;
7. Manage users associated with the entity -  activating and deactivating users and defining user profiles;
8. View alerts triggered by the loading processes (tab available only when the entity is a provider or a municipality);
9. Load data to the SIIS (providers and municipalities only);
10. Edit the entity's data on the entity data file.
11. Use the "Map" feature to browse, performing various tasks, including route calculations, viewing registered objects and creating areas of influence;
12. Create registration objects (providers and municipalities only).

After submitting the accreditation application form (and provided the proper documentation is attached), ANACOM will make a decision within 90 days; in exceptional circumstances this period may be extended by up to a further 90 days. This response time is counted in workings days from the date of the form's submission.
