Additional Information Requires
Please a Quick Questions I would like to know from I.T. Is the Connections all needs to be on Fiber?
Some of the Schools are very Far from the Towers or the Nearest Fiber even and will Like to use PTP for them and that will come with just 2ms lose of Latency.
The Schools that are not far from the Towers I would surely do Fiber to them. But the ones that are far will be a PTP.
Response
The bid does not stipulate connectivity type and is open to alternative models of connectivity beyond fiber, particularly considering the situation where fiber does not extend to locations.
