Description

This tender is for the supply, installation and support of a Network Access Control solution to complement our current network. Our current wireless manufacture is HPE Aruba, and consists of two wireless controllers (Aruba7240XM) and two Mobility masters (ArubaMM-HW-5K) running version 8.5.0.5. Our current wired network provider is Cisco. This additional equipment needs to address two main areas, improving visitor access to our network and to support segmentation of commercial tenants connected via wired and wireless.

The estimated budget is £47,947.80 excluding VAT.
