Annex III - the contractor's technical offer

The eventual documentation supplied should clearly indicate (highlight, mark) the models offered and the options included, if any, so that the evaluators can see the exact configuration. Offers that do not permit to identify precisely the models and the specifications may be rejected by the evaluation committee.

The offer must be clear enough to allow the evaluators to make an easy comparison between the requested specifications and the offered specifications.

Note: Full compliance with the Task Book / Technical Specifications is mandatory.

Specifications offered

The solution must be virtualized (NFV), implement Service Based Architecture (SBA), network slicing, and Local BreakOut (LBO).

It includes:

The distributed UPF deployed in UTM’s data center rack;

Necessary networking equipment (L2/L3 routing/switching with min. 1 × 10 Gbps SFP+ port for LAN interconnection);

Accessories and installation materials;

Full integration with the central 5GC of the Future Networks laboratories in Bucharest (UNSTPB) and Iași (TUIASI) via N3, N4, and N6 interfaces.

Key features:

Support for minimum 50 simultaneous users;

SIM management platform (activation/deactivation of SIM cards);

N6 interface to UTM LAN/WAN and Internet (via Future Networks labs VPN/MPLS or dedicated L2/L3 connectivity);

Guaranteed minimum performance: ≥ 100 Mbps DL / ≥ 20 Mbps UL p

deactivation of SIM cards);

N6 interface to UTM LAN/WAN and Internet (via Future Networks labs VPN/MPLS or dedicated L2/L3 connectivity);

Guaranteed minimum performance: ≥ 100 Mbps DL / ≥ 20 Mbps UL peak per user (under ideal conditions), reference speeds ≥ 50 Mbps DL / ≥ 10 Mbps UL, latency < 50 ms;

Compliant with ENISA 5G Security Toolbox.

The UPF must ensure secure, high-performance routing of private traffic to UTM equipment and servers while maintaining full interoperability with the partner laboratories’ 5G infrastructure.

The solution must ensure:

Dedicated radio resources of minimum 20 MHz in the 3.4–3.8 GHz TDD band (exclusively reserved for UTM, with possibility of expansion up to 100 MHz);

Support for a minimum of 50 simultaneous users;

Full integration with the local UPF (via N3 interface) and with the central 5GC of the Future Networks laboratories in Bucharest (UNSTPB) and Iași (TUIASI) via N1 and N2 interfaces;

All necessary accessories, power and data cables, optical fibers, and installation materials.

Performance requirements:

Maximum DL throughput: ≥ 100 Mbps (single user, ideal conditions);

Maximum UL throughput: ≥ 20 Mbps;

Reference DL speed (95th percentile): ≥ 50 Mbps;

Reference UL speed (95th percentile): ≥ 10 Mbps;

Latency: < 50 ms.

The radio system must be fully integrated into the SHNPN hybrid private 5G architecture and deliver the performance levels specified in the Task Book.

The SIM cards must be:

Fully compatible with 5G Standalone (SA) technology and 3GPP Release 16;

Provisioned and integrated into the hybrid private 5G network with connectivity to the Future Networks laboratories in Bucharest and Iași;

Delivered in the physical format requested by UTM (MiniSIM, MicroSIM, or NanoSIM). The exact quantity per format will be specified by UTM during the implementation phase.

Additional requirements:

The offer includes a dedicated SIM management platform allowing activation, deactivation, provisioning, and full lifecycle management of the SIM cards throughout the entire project duration (implementation + 2 years of support);

All necessary procedures for activation, management, and support of the SIM cards must be provided both during the implementation phase and during the exploitation phase.
