SaskTel is looking for information on a complete in-home internet and Wi-Fi solution for residential use. This solution should be available for rollout to all SaskTel customers, new and existing.
Components of this solution include:
1. A DSL and/or fibre compatible gateway
2. An advanced Wi-Fi solution that will deliver full in-home coverage with consistent and intelligent performance (i.e. wireless mesh)
3. Network analytics that provide key information about the in-home network for both the end user and SaskTel, SaskTel's preference is to utilize a wireless solution (mesh) for the advance Wi-Fi component, however alternative proposals are welcomed.
Key areas of analytics that SaskTel is interested in include:
-Network visibility - view devices connected and their usage
-Network management - parental controls, guest access, manage SSIDs and passwords, remove/block devices
-Self-support - run diagnostics, restart hardware
-Security - detect security threats (i.e. malware) on devices connected to the network, send end user notifications of detection, push knowledge articles to end user
SaskTel would like information on proposals that deliver the entire solution or any of the components individually.
