2 7 ZTE Commercial Eligibility 8 Nokia Huawei Huawei Huawei Huawei OEM (Parent company) & its Indian registered Subsidiary Should have made profit for Last 3 years individually as per the audited balance sheet, however for financial year self-undertaking can be submitted by OEM (Parent company) & its Indian Subsidiary, if the audited results not published and provisional certificate by CA be submitted by June OEM through its Indian Subsidiary must have 24X7 hotline & toll-free help desk for service support in India with their own technical support centre with a minimum of 100 seats based in Andhra Pradesh (or) OEM has to give an undertaking to setup the same before the project go live. The proposed router should support in service software upgrades without any impact on running services Router should have support for 4x100GE ports should be distributed among different slots, at least 20x10GE ports should be distributed among different slots, at least 20x1GE ports should be distributed among different slots for better redundancy. OSPF /OSPF v3 NSR, PIM NSR, VRRP NSR, L3VPN NSR The router should support BFD in hardware with min interval of less than 4 ms. Protection against link / node failure in rings should be <50ms using TE-FRR/MPLS-FRR. Must provide OEM undertaking with open test report We request APSFL amend this clause as follows: OEM (Parent company) or its Indian registered Subsidiary Should have made profit for 3 years in the last 5 years as per the audited balance sheet, however for financial year selfundertaking can be submitted by OEM (Parent company) & its Indian Subsidiary, if the audited results not published and provisional certificate by CA be submitted by June OEM has TAC(technical assistant centre) for troubleshooting critical problems for across the customers globally, highly skilled resources are being deployed to resolve critical issues for multiple customer. Deploying so many critical resources for one project and in a particular location will increase the cost of the project and make it unviable. We therefore request you to change the clause as follows: "OEM through its Indian Subsidiary must have 24X7 hotline & toll-free help desk for service support in India with their own technical support centre OEM has to give an undertaking for the same". The proposed router shall be a fixed configuration router. For ISSU to work on the router or device its mandatory to have dual controller cards. We suggest removing this requirement as its in accordance too previous requirements before the RETENDER The proposed router is a fixed configuration router with a couple of slots. We suggest keeping the requirement of spreading the ports on different slots, Limited to 100G ports. Suggested Modified clause: "Router should have support for 4x100GE ports should be distributed among different slots, 20X10GE Ports and 20X1GE ports." The proposed router shall be a fixed configuration router. For NSR to work on the router or device its mandatory to have dual controller cards. We suggest removing this requirement as its in accordance too previous requirements before the RETENDER No change We suggest changing the clause as: "The router should support BFD in hardware with min interval of less than 4 ms. Protection against link / node failure in rings should be <50ms using TE- FRR/MPLS-FRR. Must provide OEM undertaking with test report"

BNG & CGNAT functionality is already a part of Master Block Router where are all the MPLS and subscriber services are going to be terminated. Asking BNG & CGNAT functionality at each level will overload the overall project cost exponentially. Hence, we request you to remove this clause.if BNG and CGNAT is requirement of Mandal node number of subscribers to be supported and CGNAT sessions to be supported has to be mentioned in the RFP 9 9 The proposed router should support minimum of the following ports: 20 x 1/10GE ports.
