Lot Information
Lot 1
The purpose of establishing a private 4G/5G Radio Access Network (RAN) is to facilitate experimentation to satisfy a wide number of innovative use cases at RAF Brize Norton as part of Air Command's wider ASTRA programme. The 4G/5G network will be required to integrate with the existing Business Internet solution installed at the Station, enhancing these capabilities to the required standard for such trials activity. The resultant blended LAN, WiFi 6 and 4G/5G RAN infrastructure will deliver the essential framework infrastructure for both the Provider and other industry partners to demonstrate viable and innovative solutions for improvements across multiple operational areas at RAF Brize Norton, and potential wider Defence application. The Provider would be expected to act as an integrator of their own solutions and those from wider industry to support use cases developed by RAF Brize Norton personnel to include, but not be limited to enhancements in the areas of: airfield management, base security, future ground support engineering, virtual support opportunities, airfield operations, automated asset tracking and effective centralised command and control. The delivery and maintenance of this 4G/5G network is to be provided at zero cost to the MoD for a period of 36 months starting Aug 2021, with all equipment being removed from the site at the end of this period at zero cost to the MoD. RAF Brize Norton will facilitate site visits to assist in the formulation of proposals, contact the Commercial Officer via the messaging board, to book your visit. All site visits and submission of questions arising thereof must be completed by Friday 18th June 2021.
