The Addis Ababa University Signed On Saturday Agreements With Two Business Consortiums for the Third Phase Aau Net expansion.
The expansion includes the supply, installation, configuration, testing and documentation of ICT infrastructure and services at the AAU.
The tender was floated in September 2005 and three consortia had participated. Of the three, the Symphony Group/Neuronet Plc/CoreNet Technologies Plc consortium won three components of the tender, that is the supply and installation of active devices at eight campuses of the university, supply of equipment and providing advanced technical training for AAU ICT department staff.
The Kenya-based Symphony Group, which is the prime bidder, together with its two local partners, Neuronet and CoreNet Technologies is expected to complete the project within six months at a cost of over a million dollars.
The existing network covers only three campuses (Main Campus, Technology Campus and Science Campus) providing network infrastructure service to the staff and students. The second phase of the project already under way will cover three more campuses namely Tikur Anbessa, Lideta and Debrezeit campuses and is going to be completed within two months time.
