This enlargement shall be performed taking into consideration the upgrade of the current elements and/or addition of new elements, focused on the evolution of NSS in the Split architecture, that is, giving preference to the enlargement of capacity in the Nodes of the Split architecture, to the detriment of the monolithic architecture.
Ericsson answer: complies with the specification according to the ERICSSON proposal.
1.1.2 The network already contracted and made available by the bidder to meet the traffic demand of December 2006 shall be considered as reference for expansion purpose.
Ericsson answer: complies with the specification.
1.1.3 The purpose of this document is to establish the specifications of the systems to be met and the conditions of screening and contracting of the SUPPLIER that will be providing the enlargement and evolution of the network comprised of existing equipment and new equipment, evidenced as not being used and implementing it in turn-key system. The specifications of this Request for Proposal, hereinafter referred to simply as RFP, must be considered as minimum requirements to be achieved by the equipment and systems to be supplied.
Ericsson answer: complies partially with the specifications. The turn-key modality is not contemplated. The specifications to be complied with are in accordance with the point-to-point answers of this document and of all of its Attachments.
1.1.4 SUPPLIER, hereinafter referred to simply as BIDDER, shall answer this RFP with its proposals in writing to the Core and the MMS/WAP added service value platforms, as defined herein and in the Attachments hereto, until the date set forth in item 2.2.1.

1.2 Supply Scope
1.2.1 The term "SYSTEM" is used in this RFP to define, generically, each of the network elements required to the enlargement of the GSM/GPRS/EDGE and MMS/WAP PURCHASER's network, through an agreement for the supply of equipment and service, including hardware and software that compose the solutions specified in this RFP.
Ericsson answer: complies with the specification.
1.2.2 PURCHASER requests the BIDDER to submit detailed technical and commercial proposals for integrated SYSTEM, including all equipment, systems, software and services defined in this RFP. The integrated SYSTEM shall be in compliance with the requirements defined herein and shall include the network dimensioning and project, preparation of the sites and infrastructure, supply of equipment and software, delivery in the implementation sites, installation, commissioning, integration to the other network elements and to the management system of the PURCHASER, interlinking to the RTPC, commercial start-up, operation and assisted maintenance for a certain period and training. It shall also be included the full responsibility of the BIDDER before its employees, any subcontractors and/or sub-suppliers.
Ericsson answer: complies partially with the specification, according to all of our point-to-point answers, comments, premises and descriptions included in our proposal.
1.2.3 According to the ANATEL regulations that govern the provision of SMP in authorization system, a set of quality goals is defined in the PGMQ, which the BIDDER is obliged to comply with. This same commitment shall be formally accepted by the BIDDER and the proposal shall have a clear and summary description of how it intends to achieve those goals. BIDDER shall undertake the responsibility for achieving the PGMQ goals as a condition to the execution of the supply agreement.
Ericsson answer: Ericsson understands that it will not operate the SYSTEM, therefore the compliance with the ANATEL goals shall be under the responsibility of Telemig. Ericsson ensures that, once the services in the network required to the compliance with the ANATEL goals are requested, they will be submitted by Ericsson in the PPIs, and upon their approval (issuance of OCs to them), Ericsson will be responsible for implementing them in the network.
TC answer: the solution must include the configuration of the counters and the availability of traffic measurements in ISDN routes, used to evaluate the compliance with the SMP3 indicator. Ericsson will include it in LPU at the cost of R$ 23,000.00 per exchange.

1.2.4 The costs of the equipment, parts, software, applications, services and features defined in this RFP as basic shall be included in the final price of the proposal, including those not specified herein and that are essential for the commercial and proper operation of the SYSTEM.
Ericsson answer: complies partially with the specifications, according to all of our point-to-point answers, comments, premises and descriptions included in our bid.
1.2.5 BIDDER shall quote in the List of Unit Prices of its proposal, equipment, parts, software, applications, services and features made available by it, not specified in this RFP and not contemplated in item 1.2.4, as well as to keep the compliance with the requests of item 3.1.89 of the Attachment, item 12.3 - MSC_Server & VLR and Media Gateway Requirements, even that any upgrades of software version are contracted in the existing core network elements and/or new elements are purchased.
Ericsson answer: complies partially with the specification. Not all elements existing in the Ericsson solutions are included in the submitted LPUs. In case new items not included in the LPU are required, Ericsson commits to present and include those items in the LPU.
1.2.6 BIDDER shall ensure that the offered equipment have all standardized interfaces for interoperation with all other elements of the existing network and of the proposed network. In addition, they shall be capable of interoperating with other elements of the PURCHASER's network, regardless of the manufacturer.
Ericsson answer: complies partially with the specification.
The Ericsson equipment use standard protocols for interoperability with other network elements, according to the answers of the Attachments to this RFP. Concerning the interoperability with the network elements that use protocols other than those mentioned in the document, Ericsson proposes to study on a case-by-case basis and to discus commercially with the operator the possible adjustments.
All offered elements, as well as the elements already existing in the network, show standardized interfaces and protocols, according to 3GPP Release 6 and ITU-T.
Although Ericsson having the standardized interfaces, some protocols still do not allow interoperability between network elements from different suppliers such as, for example, the GCP protocol based on the ITU-T H.248 standard for communication between MCC Server and MGw. Currently, because of the limitation in the H.248 standardization, there are no manufacturers that are able to ensure the interoperability in the Mc interface with products from other suppliers. The Mc interface is supported according to the standards but
| Amazônia Celular S.A. / Telemig Celular S.A. | Confidential Document | |
| ESP TEC GSM - NSS + BSS | 7 | |
implements particular characteristics of profile defined by Ericsson (▇▇▇ 11232_2), since certain functionalities are not standardized by the 3GPP. Ericsson has foreseen in its roadmap the introduction of OPEN GCP to MSS 5.0 (MSC Server R13 and MGw R5 - Q4/2007), when 3GPP is expected to have already defined a common profile to all vendors.
In relation to the MAP protocol, there are adjustments to the Brazilian market (CCDA, Clip Over MAP, etc.), as well as proprietary features (Subscription Type, Selective Bypass, etc.) being used in the network that do not allow full interoperability with other suppliers or platforms not supplied by Ericsson. Adjustments for interoperability with other suppliers are not within the scope of this proposal.
