Technical requirements: Procurement of 5G/4G indoor mobile coverage for hospital buildings in the South Eastern Norway Regional Health Company.
The estimated and maximum values for the entire contract period are NOK 90,000,000 and NOK 400,000,000 excluding VAT respectively.
In order to secure a future-orientated service, and to avoid technical debt, Sykehuspartner HF would like to procure 5G/4G indoor mobile coverage as a service.
- Support a redundant carrier for critical internal services with requirements for low delay (telephony/alarms/warnings).
- Enable the future use of new and innovative services, such as IoT and machine-to-machine communication. A good indoor 4G/5G network in the hospitals will function as an alternative carrier for WiFi for data traffic. Two such independent wireless carriers can secure access to critical services and reduce the risk of operational events.
This will enable new establishments of critical telephony, message, and alarm services that are currently based on DECT and UHF radios/personal pagers. The implementation of technology that is already End-of-Life makes a large irreversible cost and limits the possibilities for future service development.
