Where the HSCN Supplier's Solution proposes the incorporation of, for example (but not limited to), Mobile Broadband, Satellite Broadband or Microwave Access (WiMAX) or a consumer-based Broadband solution as an alternative to a fixed line service, by default the HSCN Supplier shall ensure all the requirements as stated in this HSCN Obligations Framework are met.
For instances where (but not limited to) Mobile Broadband, Satellite Broadband Microwave Access (WiMAX) or consumer-based Broadband connectivity solutions can create a compelling commercial benefit but does not fully comply with the HSCN Obligations Framework, the HSCN Supplier in consultation with the HSCN Consumer may seek approval from the HSCN Authority to deploy the service provided that all areas of noncompliance together with any alternative solution (if available) is clearly documented based on the HSCN Obligations Framework documentation. Approval to connect the service can only be expressly granted by the HSCN Authority, and the process and approval will be required prior to the service going live.
The use of Mobile Broadband, Satellite Broadband Microwave Access (WiMAX) or consumer-based Broadband connectivity may also be used for cost effective site resilience and for instances where rapid (and temporary) connectivity is required until a fixed line solution is complete. The HSCN Supplier must ensure that any performance and SLA limitations are clearly stated and understood by the HSCN Consumer
