Communications Cabling Upgrade - ADIN Project Tender - 2904689

Communications Cabling Upgrade - ADIN Project
Airservices is seeking the engagement of suitable contractor/s for the Supply, installation and Testing of the structured cabling at various sites across the country.Airservices Aeronautical Data Interchange Network (ADIN) is Airservices- major Internet Protocol (IP) network. It provides telecommunication services for a wide variety of corporate and operational systems, connecting over 70 sites which interface with over 5, 000 airways, business and external systems. The ADIN Upgrade Project was created to replace ageing ADIN equipment and address capability gaps in the existing network. These capability gaps include lack of Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) support, no wireless, lack of capacity in Melbourne and Brisbane, security concerns and lack of flexibility. In addition, the ADIN Upgrade Project is also tasked with replacing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network, known within Airservices as the Nortel Wide Area Network (WAN). To do this it will need to be engineered to very strict standards as the Nortel WAN is used to carry all of Airservices- critical voice and radar traffic.Several other packages of work will be required to prepare for the ADIN Upgrade and these are identified as sub-components of the ADIN Upgrade Project (see Fig 1 in the SOW). Airservices will conduct separate procurement processes for each sub-component. This tender is for the Communications Cabling sub-component of the ADIN Upgrade Project. Structured Cabling at the Sites is past its design life and is not up to the required minimum standard/category (CAT 6), and will require upgrade during the ADIN Upgrade Project to ensure full functionality, and throughput. This will also enable the installation of VoIP telephony services. Structured Cabling installations are subject to all mandatory Australian guidelines and cabling rules.
