01What is being requested

The realization of a temporary transport solution based on ethernet connectivity (fiber optics and potentially microwave) to connect antenna deployment points with datacenters. The assignment will be executed via a Framework Agreement with a duration of 4 years, with two options for extension of 2 years each.

The objective of this tender is to realize a temporary, reliable, and cost-efficient transport solution based on ethernet connectivity (based on fiber optics and potentially microwave), to support the rollout of the LTE-M network, whereby the antenna deployment points are connected to the datacenters of Utility Connect (UC). This solution serves as a bridge to the future end state in which a dark fiber network is rolled out and lit by UC.
