About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 19GT5025Q0023 for Network Operating System and Installation Services in Guatemala. The Q&A covers technical details for a network infrastructure project involving three locations, with specific requirements for Fortigate firewall policies, VLAN configurations, network equipment, and installation specifications. Key technical details include 57 active firewall policies, VLAN configurations ranging from 3-8 per location, Unified Thread Protection (UTP) licensing, Point-to-Point (PtP) wireless operating frequency of 5150-5875 MHz, and specific equipment requirements such as a Power Beam Antenna AirMax (Model: PBE-5AC-620). The document clarifies that no certification is required for firewall configuration, no support or maintenance plan is necessary, and a site survey will be required at the installation locations. All network points must be certified, and the project involves mono-mode fiber link connections with LC connectors.

Q&A

Task 4, Point to Point – 4.1.3 and 4.2.3 PNC, in accordance with the established process for the integra�on of new nodes into the ins�tu�onal telecommunica�ons infrastructure, will assume responsibility for ensuring compliance with items 4.1.3 and 4.2.3 (installa�on and configura�on of Point-to-Point – PtP -antennas). The supplier shall deliver all equipment and materials — including antennas, moun�ng kits, and Cat6A UTP cables — to the GoG in properly sealed packaging.

Important: Items 4.1.3 and 4.2.3 from this Scope are no longer needed.

1. Can you share the list of policies to be created in the For�gate?

Policies will be shared only at the �me the migra�on process will be executed, as a reference the firewall currently has 57 ac�ve policies.

2. What policies do you currently have?

• Access Rules

• Applica�on-layer traffic rules

• Security Rules

• Web Filter rules

3. How many VLANs need to be created or do you already have?

a. Loca�on #1: 8 Vlans configura�on

b. Loca�on #2: 6 Vlans configura�on

c. Loca�on #3: 3 Vlans configura�on

4. Will you provide the port and IP zoning for the equipment?

a. Loca�on #1: port and IP zoning will be provided by ins�tu�on

b. Loca�on #2: Provider must assign port and MGMT VLan for equipment

c. Loca�on #3: Provider must assign port and MGMT VLan for equipment

5. What type of licensing—UTP or ATP?

Unified Thread Protec�on (UTP)

6. At what frequency will PTP operate?

5150 - 5875 MHz

7. What is the load capacity of the beam where the antenna support will be installed?

8. Task 4. Point to Point Loca�on #2. Could we offer another model of antenna?

No, the antennas must comply with the technical specifica�ons of the PNC's current microwave infrastructure

9. With the current proposal, there will be oscilla�ons in the communica�on system due to the oversizing of the antennas.

10. Task 4. Point to Point Loca�on #3. According to the site visit, there is an LTE cell tower in the line of sight. We recommend a 48 GHz wireless system or a fiber link using poles.

11. 2.5. Could we offer an open-frame rack? Because there is not enough space.

Yes, sugges�ons based on space limita�on are acceptable

12. 1.9. Is any cer�fica�on required to perform the Firewall configura�on?

No, no cer�fica�on is required

13. Is there and Incumbent? If so could the government please provide the name and contract number?

14. Will any support and maintenance be required?

No, no support or maintenance plan is necessary

15. Could the government confirm the exact model of the antenna located on the PNC tower.

Power Beam Antenna AirMax Model: PBE-5AC-620

16. For the site at 14 Calle 19-00, Colonia Cipresales, Guatemala City: Will documenta�on of exis�ng network points be provided, or will a site survey be required?

No, there is currently no technical documenta�on, a site survey will be required

17. The UniFi Pro Max switches specify PoE++ power of up to 720 W, but according to the datasheet, they only reach that power when using a 220V power supply.

a. Could you please confirm whether the available power supply at this site is 220V or 120V? power supply at all sites is 120V, adjustments to PoE specifica�ons are acceptable.

18. Type of fiber op�c and exis�ng connectors For the op�cal modules we will install (SFP and SFP+), the document only men�ons “Mul�-Mode Op�cal Module.”

a. Could the government please confirm whether the exis�ng fiber is OM3 or OM4, and whether the connectors arriving at the patch panel or distribu�on point are LC or SC?

Mono Mode Fiber link Connector at the distribu�on point is LC

19. Site cabling installa�on For the cabling installa�on at the site, the room where the rack will be located may not have adequate dimensions for future maintenance access.

1. Is there any plan to expand it later? There are no plans to expand the space.

20. Node installa�on. The site currently has a raised floor and a false ceiling.

a. Would it be viable for us to propose a hybrid installa�on using both op�ons in the quota�on? Raised floor implementa�on is not considered for this project

21. Antenna line-of-sight. Regarding antenna line-of-sight, would it be possible to confirm whether the building's wall structure can support a moun�ng pole?

22. Installa�on cer�fica�on. Is it required that the installa�on be cer�fied? All network points must be cer�ficate
