📋 Tender Overview
As part of its anti-corruption efforts, the National Telecommunications Programme (Pronatel) is deploying preventive actions through field inspections, which are making it possible to identify clandestine connections in some nodes of the National Fiber Optic Backbone Network (RDNFO).
In the Cusco region, the technical team of Pronatel, an entity attached to the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), identified this type of clandestine connections that threaten the infrastructure of the RDNFO, which is a critical national asset.
As a corrective action, these clandestine connections were cut and the corresponding complaints were filed with the Peruvian National Police (PNP), given that bad businessmen would be profiting from this illicit activity, which, presumably, due to the amount of wiring and kilometers deployed, date back a long time.
In this regard, the executive director of Pronatel, Sarita Vílchez Castellanos, said that the entity has been carrying out preventive actions to face all types of illicit activities that threaten its internal processes and its telecommunications infrastructure, as part of the integrity and anti-corruption policy of the current management of the MTC.
It should be mentioned that, as part of the MTC's continuous improvement approach and within the framework of Supreme Decree No. 003-2024-MTC, the reorganization of the ministry and its programs is being implemented, in which the National Telecommunications Program (Pronatel) is included.
Likewise, the executive director of Pronatel stressed that this is the first time that these criminal practices have been denounced, which, in the case of Cusco, are already in the process of being investigated, considering that they threaten a public infrastructure that impacts the quality of telecommunications services provided through the Dorsal Network and, therefore, they cannot go unpunished.
Pronatel prioritizes the general interest of the population and the collective well-being of rural areas and the country's social interest.
