What the buyer is looking for
The UKD is renewing its existing network infrastructure. Access points, associated WiNG mounting adapters, and Extreme Networks access and aggregation switches are purchased. The aim is to continue the existing fabric architecture and the established management, security and operating processes without establishing a parallel network platform. The subject matter is exclusively the delivery of the hardware specified in Chapter 3 of the specifications (see procurement documents), including the accessories described, the device-related operating software and rights of use as well as the delivery documentation. Services, in particular planning, consulting, training, simulation, assembly, configuration, commissioning, migration and operation, are not part of this procurement.
