Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
For the purpose of air traffic control, ATC-NL relies on communication, navigation, surveillance and air traffic control systems. These systems provide the € hands and eyes € for the air traffic controller and are therefore essential for the tasks of ATC-NL.
To connect these systems or system components many robust interconnections are needed, while very often systems are at different geographical locations, or are distributed geographically within the system context itself.
Currently the connections between the ATC-NL locations in the Netherlands are based on dedicated leased lines per signal and system. At Schiphol airport and at a close vicinity an ATC-NL owned, ring structured fiber optic network is used.
The upcoming renewal of several systems demands connections with higher bandwidths than possible with the current infrastructure. An analysis was carried out to investigate the needs for the future and to advice on new or upgraded connection infrastructure. The results showed that the increased bandwidth requirements could be met while decreasing the current cost significantly. Subsequently, ATC-NL project 1673 € Mustang € was started. Mustang is an abbreviation for € MUltiService TrAnsport Network + Gigabit € .
The project € s purpose is to deliver two networks:
€ a nationwide network, which interconnects locations that are of primary use to ATC-NL all over the country. This nationwide network shall be based on leased bandwidth and multiservice access equipment (nodes),
€ a Schiphol network, consisting of three independent rings, which interconnect locations at or in the close vicinity of Schiphol airport. This ring structured fiber-optic network shall be based on currently existing ATC-NL owned optical fibers.
For these purposes ATC-NL intends to:
1. Purchase multiservice access equipment (nodes), including Operations, Administration, Maintenance & Provisioning equipment, to provide the transmission of information (data) to different locations; and
2. Lease a nationwide digital (broad bandwidth) telecommunication network, including the provision of extra services, which links the equipment mentioned in 1. to these different locations.
