| Scope | Provision of Service covering to upgrade by replacing the existing SDH STM 1 Fibre Optic Cable (FOC) transmission backbone interconnecting WAFA Plant, Mellitah Complex, Sabratha Platform and line valve stations (LVSs) along WAFA - Mellitah Pipeline route, by a multi-service routing IP/MPLS infrastructure. The system is providing the bearer service for telephony system LAN/WAN, CCTV/IDS, SCADA, DCS and mobile trunked radio system implemented over two rings: One SDH STM-1 ring connecting Mellitah, Wafa and the 18 LVSs (Line Valve Stations and Pig Traps) over FOC laid along the 625 km WAFA - Mellitah Pipeline route One SDH STM-1 ring between Mellitah Complex and Sabratha Platform offshore facility over a directly buried FOC of 110 km. The business need/ purpose of the project work is to provide the following:- •Increase bandwidth availability of STM-1 capacity to IP GigE. •Existing equipment is in phasing –out stage. •Provision of IP based new services and applications. •Provision of secure, scalable, efficient, reliable bandwidth and QOS utilization. •Supporting the existing TDM-based applications and providing migration path to Packet-based services (such as Ethernet, IP and MPLS networks). •The equipments and installation practice shall support reliable operation in harsh desert operating environmental condition at LVSs underground equipment room. |
