FaTMAN
In June of this year Janet launched a procurement to replace the dark fibre infrastructure and managed service connections for the FaTMAN regional network. The existing Janet telecommunications framework was chosen as the best mechanism to achieve this. The incumbent supplier was selected and as such the physical connections will largely remain unchanged with minimum disruption to end customers. Janet are now working closely with the supplier and FaTMAN to ensure a smooth contract transfer. Further information will appear relating to the operations transfer as details are confirmed.

Janet staff worked closely with members of the local community with the aim of preserving the existing resilient dark fibre infrastructure where possible, ensuring the maximum levels of reliability for Janet Aberdeen institutions. A contract was awarded to THUS PLC in July and the new infrastructure will be ready for service by May 2011.
