Deliverables #8. When is the 25% expansion expected to be completed?

Deliverables #8, “Switches and POE extenders must be of sufficient size to accommodate expansion of system by at least 25%.” The intent of this statement revolves around the evolving needs of the hospital. We MAY need expansion of services in different areas. To prevent any kind of hardware issues and complete loss of service (due to equipment changeover) we require the switches and poe extenders have the ability for expansion.

No, all the hardware belongs to the current provider.

Video services currently operating from or terminated in a designated OI&T space or other space that cannot be shared or accessed by the awarded vendor? If so which locations?
