The Ministry of Transport and Communicationsthrough the National Telecommunications Program (Pronatel), informed that it will initiate the actions for the contracting process of the operation and maintenance service of the National Fiber Optic Dorsal Network (RDNFO).
Daniel Lizárraga López, executive director of Pronatel, stated that the selection of the company will continue to be public knowledge, through the institutional portal and in strict compliance with the law, as happened in the previous call.
“It is a network that will allow promoting the digital inclusion of more Peruvians and for that we are working with our specialists and technicians, committed to achieving good processes, in which plurality, free competition and transparency prevail.”, he expressed.

He also commented that, as a result of the consultations made by the suppliers, updates were made to the terms of reference (TOR), which allowed for greater participation. Thus, the modifications include the decision to expand the experience in nine regions at the national level and not limit it only to northern, central and southern areas.
In addition, Lizárraga specified that the obligation to establish a trust by the contractor was withdrawn, considering that Pronatel can already carry out the billing activities of the RDNFO.
He added that, if there are consortiums, it would be enough for a single company to have a license as a telecommunications operator in the country, which would allow even those that do not have a presence in the sector to form alliances with national operators.
Similarly, Lizárraga López indicated that information has been provided regarding the inventory of goods and their condition, the incident attention report during this year, the Osiptel supervision report for 2021, the list of spare parts that Pronatel has in process acquisition, among others.
Finally, he highlighted that, more than five months after temporarily assuming the administration of the RDNFO, the service remains in constant operation, transmitting data at high speed and long distances.
