It has been necessary to re-procure the Janet Aberdeen network infrastructure as the contracts for it expire in July 2011. Janet staff worked closely with members of the local community with the aim of preserving the existing resilient dark fibre infrastructure where possible, ensuring the maximum levels of reliability for Janet Aberdeen institutions. A contract was awarded to THUS PLC in July and the new infrastructure will be ready for service by May 2011.

A contract has been successfully negotiated for housing the two Regional Network Entry Points that connect Janet Aberdeen to Janet at the University of Aberdeen.
