Customer challenge
EG.D operates extensive communications infrastructure across administrative and operational facilities. Its environment includes physically and virtually segmented networks using technologies from multiple vendors.
A preliminary market consultation in 2020 helped define the renewal requirements. The customer sought modern network and security equipment, implementation support, interoperability testing and knowledge transfer to its operational team. Requirements included a clearly defined product and service lifecycle of at least eight years.
ComSource’s solution and role
Following a successful tender, ComSource supplied more than 1,000 Juniper devices across the core, aggregation and access layers. Deliveries included routers, aggregation switches, data centre infrastructure with MACsec, and equipment for wired or LTE connectivity.
- Deployment consultancy using vendor reference architectures.
- Laboratory validation of operational models, proofs of concept and interoperability between new and existing technologies.
- Service support and spare parts availability.
- Operational team training through CS Academy.
Outcomes
The project description records timely delivery of more than 1,000 devices, including during pandemic restrictions, with lead times of up to 180 days. The study also records later deliveries taking less than one month; this is historical project information, not a general guarantee for future orders.
The customer gained a partner for supply, compatibility testing, service and training. Laboratory facilities and spare parts support continued infrastructure development.
Long-term scope
The case study describes cooperation planned for 2020–2029. This period includes long-term support and development; it does not mean that all future activities have already been completed.
