The brief

Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) is the General Lighthouse Authority for Scotland & Isle of Man.

NLB are vested with responsibility for the superintendence and management of all associated lighthouses, buoys and beacons.

NLB operate a monitoring system to remotely monitor and control operation of remote assets.

Presently, NLB is working towards replacing the old monitoring system with new modern system.

As a part of this upgrade, NLB is upgrading communication system used by remote equipment in lighthouses & buoys.

Existing systems use 4 types of communication - PSTN, GSM, Radio & Satellite.

With the new system NLB aim to use 3G, 4G, Broadband over fixed line and Satellite Broadband (limited to offshore places where 3G/4G signal not available).

Broadband over fixed line service will be delivered by our existing suppliers BT & Daisy Communications.

Hence this service is not included in the scope of this project.

The rest of communication types - termed as Machine to Machine (M2M) Communication, NLB is looking for single dedicated supplier to provide this service.

The Supplier must be able to provide secure, resilient, and reliable M2M communication through cellular & satellite technologies.

Satellite option is only considered on locations where 3G/4G coverage do not exist.

Please refer to Tender Documents for the detailed specification
