— WAN communication, hire and operation of broadband connections for all entities in RegionData's owner municipalities including joint server farms in accordance with the location lists given in Annex 7A Price Form,
The six municipalities and RegionData current have a network consisting of copper and fiber lines, and 4G is used for some locations. Due to the increasing need for higher speeds and a stable network, a transition to fiber networks and stable redundant solutions is most desirable.

There is also a desire to spend less than is currently spent on this. The contracting authority therefore wants a tender offer where fiber is offered to as many locations as possible within the economic limits given per municipality and for RegionData.
