Supply of passenger Wi-Fi services on existing buses

Bus Eireann/Irish Bus

Bus Eireann proposes awarding a Contract for the supply of a turnkey managed solution to cover installation, hardware maintenance, software maintenance and end user support. All equipment must have already been deployed in a bus environment within the EU. Bus Eireann invites companies with experience in the provision of Wifi services to apply for this project. The initial project will cover approximately 300 buses in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) and Gateway cities but responses should reflect the potential for outfitting the entire fleet of up to 700 buses.
