Framework Agreement regarding High Bandwidth Low Latency SATCOM
Description
:
Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) is executing a tender of High bandwidth Low Latency SATCOM to be used in the Danish Defence. The Danish Defence often operates outside of traditionel internet infrastructure. Current acces to the internet in such locations is obtained via SATCOM, based on geostationary satellite constellations at a distance of more than 35.000 kilometres from Earth. This very long distance communication limits both latency and the bandwidth of such systems. With increased need for internet access, pertaining to administrative tasks and crew Wi-Fi, a new SATCOM system with low latency and high bandwidth is required. It is expected that the data based communication will increase in the future, as the service becomes more widely used in the Danish Defence. The Danish Defence operates all over the world both on land and at sea. DALO therefore needs a solution with global coverage. However, DALO is also aware that the different solutions on the market at present can not quarantee global coverage. Therefore, to maximise the connectivity, DALO whishes to acquire two solutions of High Bandwidth Low Latency SATCOM. It is not the plan that both solutions of High Bandwidth Low Latency SATCOM will be installed and used on the different platforms. However, certain platforms might have both solutions installed. The solution is intended to be used on both stationary and moving platforms, and as such it is required to be able to function on-the-move. The solution will be subjected to harsh weather conditions of the Arctic with low temperatures, high winds and rough seas, but also warm sub-tropic climate. As the vessels of the Royal Danish Navy will periodically be docked for maintenance for extended periods of time, DALO whishes a solution where the connection can be frozen/paused. The framework agreement will concist of Terminals and Subscriptions (Airtime) as well as training, repair-services and spare parts.
