Description

Replacement of BT Megastream point-to-point (P2P) services for the Operational Railway. Network Rail has identified an Openreach product called “Network in Advance” which will enable Network Rail to develop a transformation plan to transition any risk and costs exposure with its P2P Connectivity estate by migrating Megastream services to allow third party telecoms service providers to deliver an end to end alternative to Megastream e.g. Optical connect Wide Area Network (WAN) services.
