## The system architecture may be wired/BUS, IP/PoE Ethernet, wireless (Wi-Fi or DECT 6.0), or a hybrid combination, as selected for the project; the requirements herein are architecture-neutral except where a clause is expressly scoped to one architecture.
−## The following work is governed by separate standards and is excluded here: essential electrical power feeding NCS equipment, governed by [[sync/healthcare-essential-electrical-systems]]; structured cabling pathways and backbone serving IP controllers, governed by [[sync/structured-cabling]]; overhead paging and mass notification, governed by [[sync/public-address-and-paging]]; and the general electrical work results common to all communications and electronic safety and security systems, governed by [[sync/common-work-results-electrical]]. {note}
