About

Northern Lighthouse Board awarded a contract to British Telecommunications for the provision of a second 1Gbps line to add resilience to its existing BTNet 1Gbps line and configure as a load balancing service under CCS Framework RM3808i.

The line required 1Gbps port speed on a 1Gbps bearer, with both lines configured for active/active failover managed by the provider.

The second line, paired with the existing line, was to be managed in-life as a resilient pair using different fibre cables in separate ducts diversely routed to a different BT exchange, with instant seamless failover using current IP addresses.

The supplier was required to determine the Point of Presence used by the existing line and route the new line to a different POP.

The contract value was £61,480.
