Tender Details

The NSW Telco Authority has recently completed a market investigation (Request for Information (RFI)) to identify the potential service delivery model that could meet the National Public Safety Mobile Broadband (PSMB) objectives and high-level requirements (HLRs). This work was undertaken on behalf of the National Public Safety Mobile Broadband Senior Officials Committee (SOC).

This Request for Proposal (RFP) is a continuation of those investigations and aims to work closely with the broader mobile telecommunications industry to validate some of the industry suggestions and findings from the RFI evaluation.

This RFP is seeking to develop a national Proof-of-Concept (PoC) test environment for a specific delivery model that received broad support as part of the RFI. This specific delivery model was a combination of approaches for different geographical environments, as follows:

· A Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) model with multi-carrier roaming in metro and regional areas which will benefit from the overlapping coverage and redundancy of multiple carrier networks and avoid the cost of hardening a single network.

· A Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing model would be used to address areas that require an expansion of existing coverage and would generally apply in rural and remote areas.

· The potential use of deployable base stations in areas beyond the coverage footprints of conventional networks

Note that while the RFI evaluation found broad industry support for this model, there are a number of assumptions and potential implementation issues that need to be addressed before a formal decision on thenational PSMB delivery model is made for all Australian States and Territories(Jurisdictions).

This test environment is likely to be developed in phases to both accommodate the different delivery models, potentially different locations and different budget availability of Jurisdictions.
