MLL Telecom, which specialises in building and operating wireless broadband networks, today announced that it has been formally approved as an official supplier by OGCbuying.solutions. This will give MLL privileged access to the public sector market and reflects MLL’s strength and experience in the wireless industry.
The new Telecom Networks framework agreement, awarded by OGCbuying.solutions, an executive agency of OGC in the Treasury, starts this week. It will enable MLL to supply equipment, managed services and consultation to organisations throughout the public sector including hospitals, schools and local and central government, under pre-agreed terms and conditions.
To date, MLL has worked with partners such as BT to build networks in public sector organisations including East Sussex County Council, North Yorkshire County Council, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, Dorset Police, North Dorset District Council, plus a number of NHS locations.
Rick Hudson, CEO of MLL Telecom, said: “Wireless networks are attractive to organisations which need to build cost-effective, scalable high-capacity broadband networks quickly. During 2007 we have seen an increasing interest in our capabilities from the public sector. This newly awarded OGCbuying.solutions certification will enable us to address this increased demand directly.”
OGCbuying.solutions awards framework agreements to suppliers on the basis of objective and non-discriminatory criteria including industry expertise as well as pricing. Its product and services catalogue is used by public sector organisations to identify pre-qualified approved suppliers of telecom equipment and services.
MLL has been approved to supply services in three lots: Point to point circuits, Infrastructure and connectivity and Wireless data infrastructure.
MLL also builds wireless networks for enterprises in both rural and urban areas that are looking for higher bandwidth and greater reliability from their networks, as well as the ability to expand as multi-media applications become the norm.
