The telecoms sector gets a boost from this week's National Tender Bulletin as several organisations look to improve, extend or overhaul their communications systems. This includes a request from the Road Traffic Management Corporation which is looking for a panel of service providers to provide fibre connections, links and replacement links services for a period of five years.
At the same time, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) says it is looking for a service provider to test and benchmark performance and quality of service across six provinces.
Hardware continues to attract high levels of interest, equal to requests for software. The services sector undergoes a bit of a slump this week, but is buoyed by several consulting requests.
After weeks of intensified activity, the State IT Agency is conspicuously quiet this week. Publishing under the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services, the agency says a tender for the unified communication solution has been cancelled.
The National Research Foundation provides this week's notice of interest with the news that the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory has entered into a R9.5 million collaboration with the Spanish Centro Nacional de Informacion Geografica's Yebes Observatory in Spain. Together they will be working on the manufacturing, supply, testing, delivery and commissioning of a cryogenic broadband very long baseline global observing system (VGOS) receiver.
