NRK needs a new, modern and flexible WAN that will both meet today's and future needs. The agreement will provide NRK with a WAN and contribution network that links NRK's head office, district and regional offices, as well as other relevant locations, together with our data centres. The network must enable transmiting of audio and video signals with very little delay at the same time as ordinary data traffic. The network must also ensure that the security of sensitive material and information about confidential sources is safeguarded.

NRK primarily wants an offer for optical connections between NRK's locations and 2 data centers in Oslo and Trondheim, as well as connections between the data centers, where NRK is building its own MPLS-based WAN network for media streams and other data traffic. Certain alternative connections such as e.g. connections delivered through the supplier's own MPLS network could exceptionally be accepted.

Certain alternative connections such as e.g. connections delivered through the supplier's own MPLS network could exceptionally be accepted. NRK therefore aims to enter into an ongoing contract with a minimum term of five years from approved phase 3 (Rollout part 1) cf. appendix 3.
