Information Request: Objective 6 Accelerated to Market – Respondents shall describe how the State would meet these requirements. Response: The State assumes that in the initial configuration of the RAN the Partner will provide roaming service on a compatible LTE network that will provide coverage and capacity on an interim basis until the OPSBN is deployed to an extent to provide reliable service in defined areas of Ohio. Information Request: Objective 6 Accelerated Speed to Market – Respondents shall identify the existing LTE network(s) proposed for the initial operational configuration, and ongoing roaming service for the proposed OPSBN. If roaming will require reverse compatibility with a 3G technology, the standard and version of that technology shall be specified. Response: Objective 7: User Service Availability Provide a broadband service with availability of 99.99% as measured in a rolling 12- month window within each reporting area. Offerors should consider areas that contain mission-critical infrastructure as needing enhanced hardening and increased availability. Service restoration activities shall be undertaken with the highest available priority but shall not exceed two hours for any impaired service. For restoration of service via temporary or secondary service capabilities, the temporary or secondary service must be transparent to the users and provide similar capability.
