Contract 4 10
routers & 1 Core router
Below is a list of
general router specifications.
Listed features are not mandatory. If your product is missing a
feature please list and explain.
Likewise if your product has more advanced features please list and
explain. The routers will be used
at cell sites for QOS and resiliency of the network. The network cell sites are linked in a
ring/mesh by both fiber and microwave. Cell site back to the core based
the route with the least latency, traffic loading and availability and to
automatically reroute in the event of link failure or link congestion.

Below is a list of
general Core router specifications.
Listed features are not mandatory. If your product is missing a
feature please list and explain.
Likewise if your product has more advanced features please list and
explain. The Core router will be
used for Cell site aggregation and Fiber to the home aggregation.
On
the cell site aggregation: The core router will be aggregating traffic from
all of the cell site routers in this RFP and will control the QOS and
resiliency of the network by routing and rerouting traffic based on
availability and traffic load.
Fiber to the home aggregation: The core router
will also serve as the aggregation point for our fiber to the home project which will have approximately 50 fiber to the home
nodes connected to it. IPTV will be
offered across the fiber network.
Please describe your product in a fiber to the home deployment and any
pitfalls to be aware of in choosing a fiber to the home aggregation router.
