Although 4G devices are available, 4G is still not reliable across all parts of Suffolk and the UK, so will require a solution to ensure no loss of signal and service. To thoroughly assess the geographical impact of 2G and 4G availability in Suffolk of bidders solutions for the new Framework, a six month extension is required to the current Framework."
