Networking Tasmania III discussion paper

Currently the Tasmanian Government procures its wide area data network (WAN) services via what are known as the Network Tasmania (NT) II agreements. These agreements end in May 2015.

This discussion paper is intended to generate discussion amongst NT II stakeholders, including customers and potential suppliers, on the future requirements that will be delivered under the next generation of purchasing agreements – to be known as NT III. These discussions will be used by the Government’s contract management organisation, TMD, to help formulate the Government’s range of business requirements beyond the current arrangements.

To assist in generating the discussion, this paper outlines at a high level:

Highlights the principles that underpin the current and future NT service frameworks.
Summarises the current network architecture and principles.
Proposes a high-level summary of a future network service architecture and principles.
Outlines a roadmap to the next generation arrangements - to be known as NT III.
Sets out the next steps.
