2. To find a solution SITA and DHA have agreed upon:
(i) A three year roadmap for the creation of alternative network routes within the Government Core Network; and
(ii) The proposed Software Defined Networking (SDN) model to be implemented on a case-by-case basis without negatively impacting the recent investments in networking equipment.
To date alternative network routes and alternative modes of connectivity have been deployed in partnership with SITA across not just ports of entry, mobile trucks and hospitals, but to front offices as well especially those offices highly impacted by cable theft.
