SANReN has provided its best estimates for the fibre characteristics of these links. All

bidders must use this information in designing the required optical transmission network. The

expectation from SANReN is that a detailed, low level design process will be undertaken

with the winning bidder before implementation and any changes in the fibre characteristics

will be provided to the winning bidder at this stage.

2.1.1 Repeater sites

Many of the links provided in Table 1 have repeater sites on route that may be used for in

line amplification (ILA). The details for these repeater sites are provided below in Figure 2 to

Figure 12. Except for the repeater sites where add-drop equipment must be deployed, not all

repeater sites need to be used.

The bidders must design the network with a 3db margin per fibre segment for fibre

ETSI 19” rack. These dimensions include the ROADM shelf and any shelves

required to house filters.

11. The solution shall not require replacement of the system chassis to accommodate

higher than 100Gb/s channels. If the solution has a fixed backplane that will limit the

introduction of higher speed interfaces, or require replacement of the system

chassis, then the upgrade requirement must be described in detail.

12. The solution shall provide a full 96 channel filter shelf installed in the initial

installation.

13. The solution shall include continuous in-service line monitoring capabilities which

shall run within the same optical fibre pair as the active traffic. The line monitoring

2.1.3.3 ILA Sites

1. The solution installed in the repeater sites to be used for ILA shall provide optical

amplifiers only unless they are required to balance optical power levels according to

the network design.

2. In the case where intermediate sites require balancing it is acceptable to install

balancing modules and / or ROADM modules in the intermediate sites.

3. The solution installed in the ILA sites shall support the same 96 channels with

50GHz spacing between the channels as the main ROADM equipment. It is not

acceptable to use sub-standard amplifiers that will not support the full 96 channels at

50GHz channel spacing.



ETSI 19” rack. These dimensions include the amplifier shelf, ROADM shelf (if

required) and any shelves required to house filters.

3. Link M and Link L

4. Link P and Link Q

5. Link W and Link V

2.2 BoM for equipment

Bidders must compile a detailed BoM for the network that was designed as part of 2.1. This

BoM must clearly show the equipment that will need to be deployed at each site (PoP and

24/7 operations.

3. All management system software versions deployed as part of the solution shall be

supported for a minimum of 5 years, with patches and upgrades.

4. All management system software shall be capable of running on virtual server

platforms, unless software runs within a self-contained computer appliance, in which

case the bidder must include the required hardware (processing, storage and

interfaces), system software (firmware and operating system) and the NMS system

as part of their bid.

5. All management system software shall support both Internet Protocol (IP) IPv4 and

IPv6.

6. All management system software shall support role based authentication and

authorisation through some directory management services.

7. All management systems should cater for redundancy and automatic failover. The

active and standby system shall be able to be geographically separated.

8. All management systems should not poll more than once for the same information.

9. The management system shall provide a hardware real-time clock which can be

synchronised with Network Time Protocol (NTPv4) time server.

10. The management system shall support ALL of the equipment proposed (at PoPs,

repeater sites and ILA sites).

SNMP).


of 27

2.3.2 Design Software

In addition to the NMS system, the bidder must make available to SANReN its network

design tools for the purpose of extending the optical network if and when required.

2.4 Installation and Commissioning

The CSIR currently does not have the capability to deploy a network of the scale olanned for

the SANReN backbone upgrade. As such, we require the bidders to provide this service as

part of their bid. The CSIR has the following requirements regarding installation and

commissioning:

1. The bidder must deploy and commission the entire network on the CSIR behalf

including at SANReN PoP sites and repeater sites. This includes the responsibility to:

a. Patch the fibre from the ODF to the installed equipment;

b. Connect the equipment to the power distribution unit if required; and

c. Source and install any additional accessory that the bidder requires to get the

system up and running.

2. The NMS server must be deployed and configured as part of this service.

3. All patching done as part of this project must clearly be labelled and allow for

SANReN engineers to maintain the network as needed in the future.

4. The following documentation must be provided to the CSIR once the deployment and

commissioning work has been completed:

a. As-build diagrams showing the details of the deployed network for each site;

b. Photos of the completed work at each site;

c. System configurations for all sites;

d. Inventory (including serial numbers) per site of all equipment installed.

5. SANReN must have the option to participate during the staging of the equipment.

6. SANReN must have the option to accompany the bidder during installation.

7. A high level rollout plan and estimated project plan for the deployment of the network

must be provided. The assumption can be made that all of the fibre is available. (It is

expected that the deployment of the transmission network will occur in phases as the

national fibre becomes available. A detailed, realistic project plan will be jointly

determined with the winning bidder)
