NRK intends to enter into a framework agreement with two (2) suppliers of equipment for video field contribution with mobile network bonding, covering four product categories: mobile-based app, ultra-portable codec, rack-mounted codec, and high-quality codec, along with associated receiving servers and management system. NRK currently uses LiveU technology to transmit video signals from external locations into NRK. The solution works by sending video via the mobile network (4G/5G), where multiple SIM cards can be combined to ensure the necessary capacity and stability. The technology enables live broadcasting without the need for fixed lines or traditional satellite equipment.
The existing agreement for the supply of LiveU equipment and related services has expired. NRK will therefore enter into a new framework agreement with two separate suppliers: one providing products and services from LiveU Inc., and the other offering an equivalent solution based on an alternative technological platform. This approach is intended to ensure flexibility, robustness, and continuity in NRK’s operations.
Through the framework agreement, NRK seeks to ensure predictable conditions for call-offs and mini-competitions, covering individual equipment purchases, SLA-related orders, additional services, scaling or replacement of receiving servers in NRK’s data centers, supplementing the field equipment pool, and replacing field units etc. that have reached end-of-life.
The estimated total value for both systems is between NOK 10 and 15 million over the contract period.Hovedtrekkene i prosedyrenNRK intends to enter into a framework agreement with two (2) suppliers of equipment for video field contribution with mobile network bonding, covering four product categories: mobile-based app, ultra-portable codec, rack-mounted codec, and high-quality codec, along with associated receiving servers and management system.
