Can you
provide us with details on other parties that secured contracts with Neotel in the past
months?
Yes.
Other parties who secured contracts with Neotel include:
-
Nokia Siemens
Networks – ‘…IP core, IP network management
system and metro dense wavelength division multiplexing components of the Neotel network…’ (Spescom
grabs R10m Neotel contract, Kimberley Guest, ITWEB, 20 June 2007).
-
Motorola
– ‘…radio frequency planning for the CDMA and WiMax network…’
(Spescom grabs R10m Neotel contract, Kimberley Guest, ITWEB, 20 June 2007).
-
Dimension Data &
Cisco – ‘…to provide the metro Ethernet
portion’ (Spescom grabs R10m Neotel contract, Kimberley Guest, ITWEB, 20 June 2007).
-
Juniper &
Huawei – ‘…preferred suppliers for routers
and core network infrastructure respectively’ (Spescom grabs R10m Neotel contract, Kimberley Guest,
ITWEB, 20 June 2007)
What about contractors for
Neotel's local loop
infrastructure?
Not announced yet.
‘Neotel has yet to announce the contractors for its local loop infrastructure. The
company is believed to be considering proposals for both its wireline and wireless tenders. Both contracts are
believed to be considerable’ (Spescom grabs R10m Neotel contract, Kimberley Guest, ITWEB, 20 June 2007).
In other words, Neotel is still considering their options in this regard.
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) welcomes Neotel’s drive to get quality
partners such as Spescom onboard. It will surely help when the chips are down.
