Common use of Network Configuration Clause in Contracts

Network Configuration. Indoor Wi-Fi coverage : Appendix B depicts the conceptual network configuration of the indoor Wi-Fi network which is configured in a star topology. The selected Operator who is the Wi-Fi service provider will be responsible for the overall performance of the Wi-Fi network in terms of coverage, security, throughput and latency performance, etc. TraxComm will provide the E&M infrastructure in general and also acts as the appointed Contractor to install all the network components. Demarcation of responsibilities between TraxComm and the selected Operator with respect to the supply (which implies ownership in general), installation, and maintenance responsibilities of respective network components for the indoor Wi-Fi network is detailed in Appendix C. In-train Wi-Fi coverage : Appendix D depicts two typical configuration of KTT Though Train. The fleet size ranges from 7 to 9 passenger cars depending on the traffic needs configured with one or two Premium Coaches. Under normal operation, the train fleet is made up of two Premium Coaches located in the middle of the fleet and where the 3G routers will be installed. The conceptual design of the in-train Wi-Fi network incorporates redundant 3G routers when two Premium Coaches are deployed for train services. When one of Premium Coaches is out of service for maintenance reason, the in-train Wi-Fi service will be supported by the 3G router(s) installed inside only one Premium Coach. Appendix E depicts the conceptual network schematic of the physical in-train Wi-Fi network which is subject to changes and to the approval by the MTR Corporation. Demarcation of responsibilities between TraxComm and the selected Operator with respect to the supply (which implies ownership in general), installation, and maintenance responsibilities of respective network components for the in-train Wi-Fi network is detailed in Appendix F. General demarcation of roles and responsibilities for indoor as well as in-train Wi-Fi network service provision : Appendix C provides details of the demarcation of design, supply (ownership), installation and scope of maintenance service for respective network components with reference to the conceptual network schematic provided in Appendix B for indoor Wi-Fi network service provision. Appendix F provides details of the demarcation of design, supply (ownership), installation and scope of maintenance service for respective network components with reference to the conceptual network schematic provided in Appendix E for in-train Wi-Fi network service provision. Scope of provision and responsibilities of TraxComm : TraxComm will take up the role as Project Manager for all site implementation activities. TraxComm will supply, design, own, construct, test and commission the cable infrastructure that serves the Wi-Fi network. TraxComm will be responsible for the installation of other Wi-Fi network equipment/components supplied by the selected Operator. TraxComm will be responsible for the provision of ac and/or dc power supply to energize the network switches which are housed inside the Equipment Cabinet where applicable. The Equipment Cabinet is designed, supplied and maintained by the selected Operator which is subject to the approval by the MTR Corporation. TraxComm will be responsible for the maintenance of the cable infrastructure that serves the Wi-Fi network. TraxComm shall provide Maintenance Support Service which includes field replacement of defective components such as network switches and Access Points will be carried out by TraxComm is tabled in Appendix C and F. Maintenance spare and other logistic management and will be further discussed with selected Operator after contract award. TraxComm shall not bear the responsibilities for the repair of the Wi-Fi network equipment supplied and owned by the selected Operator. TraxComm shall provide System Integration Service and will jointly integrate the network components with the selected Operator so as to enable Wi-Fi service rollout in the designated areas as planned and approved. Scope of provision and responsibilities of the selected Operator : The selected Operator shall be responsible for the overall system design of the Wi-Fi network concerning system performance and shall conduct her own system commissioning tests. The selected Operator shall follow the design approval process stipulated by the MTR Corporation. The selected Operator shall be responsible for the design submissions of all the network components supplied by the Operator which will be installed inside MTR premises. Such design submissions are subject to the approval by the MTR Corporation with focuses on the installation practicality as well as safety aspect. The selected Operator shall also submit sub-program to TraxComm with respect to equipment delivery and system integration and commissioning activities, etc for overall program management. The selected Operator shall supply all network equipment including, but not limited to, network switches and routers, Access Points, and associated installation hardware such as Equipment Cabinets, mounting brackets and housing for Access Points, etc. The selected Operator shall free issue all the network components and installation hardware to TraxComm for installation. The selected Operator shall be responsible for system-wide fault isolation and repair of all the network components owned by the Operator. The selected Operator shall supply the RF jumper cables connecting the antenna, if applicable, and free issue to TraxComm for installation. For the ease of maintenance management, the ownership of the RF cables shall be transferred to TraxComm. The selected Operator may have direct interface with the subcontractors appointed by TraxComm during the course of project implementation as well as maintenance activities. The selected Operator shall carry out joint site survey with the subcontractors appointed by TraxComm to propose the suitable location to install required network equipment subject to the approval by MTR Corporation. The selected Operator shall be responsible for purchase of her own insurance package to protect her interest against damage or loss of network equipment issued to TraxComm for installation.
