📋 Tender Overview
The Comptroller General alerted the National Telecommunications Program PRONATEL of the existence of serious breaches and breakdowns in telecommunications equipment that could jeopardize the implementation of broadband for the integral connectivity of the Moquegua region.This project whose investment amounts to US 28542980 has as its main objective to provide internet access to the inhabitants of the provinces of Ilo Mariscal Nieto and General Snchez Cerro.The report of Control Milestone No. 019-2023-OCI6403-SCC highlights that the maintenance center of the project does not have the minimum spare parts necessary to address a possible operational technical failure which could cause deficiencies in the operation of the fiber optic network.Although materials such as concrete poles fiber optics and installation hardware were found crucial spare parts such as fiber optic transmission cards router equipment of the aggregation and or distribution nodes and servers for data management among others were not found.The lack of a lightning rod protection system was also noted since the one that was installed was not connected to any ground well. Likewise deficiencies were detected in the grounding of the metal pipes which can generate situations of electrical risk causing accidents in the technical personnel and affecting the operation and functionality of the transport nodes. These deficiencies have been observed in Moquegua and the transport nodes of Carumas Cuchumbaya Torata Puquina and Coalaque.In addition the inoperability of the transient voltage suppressors in the general board of the transport nodes has been verified. This situation exposes the electrical system to vulnerabilities and can cause damage to vital electrical equipment such as microprocessors memory cards and routers which directly affects communication networks. This problem has been detected in the transport nodes of Samegua Coalaque Ilo and Ceticos Ilo.The voltage suppressor is an essential device to protect electrical systems and equipment against surges caused by electric shock or maneuvers of connection or disconnection from the electrical network.The Report has been communicated to the Executive Director of PRONATEL urging him to take the necessary actions to address these shortcomings. Likewise this document has been published in the Report Finder of the Comptrollers Office guaranteeing transparency and access to information for all stakeholders.
