## Summary

Trinity House is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the 'CM79 - Telemetry Satellite Communication,' primarily concerning the marine industry. The procurement seeks to establish an IP-based satellite communication platform, essential for monitoring marine Aids to Navigation across England, Wales, and the Channel Islands.
