The Espírito Santo will bid for a fiber optic network that will initially serve 30 municipalities in the state as part of a project called ES-Digital, announced the state TIC producer. The state has three high-speed fiber optic networks connecting public agencies: Metro-ES, Anel da Enseada, and Metro-Gvix.

Together, they benefit about 380 public institutions in the capital, Vitória, and the metropolitan region. Prodest is responsible for these networks. The government plans to have a total of 550 internet nodes connecting public institutions to the state datacenter, located at Prodest’s facilities in Vitória.

The bidding process for hiring the company that will build the ES-Digital network will be electronic. Only companies registered in the State Administrative Management System (Siga) may participate. The system can be accessed through the purchasing website of Espírito Santo. Proposals can be submitted until April 19 and will be opened the following day in Siga, Prodest reported.

NETWORKS

The first fiber optic network launched in Espírito Santo was Metro-ES, which serves about 120 public agencies. The Anel da Enseada is responsible for serving the State Court of Justice (TJ-ES), State Court of Auditors (TCE-ES), and Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPES), as well as the state legislative power.

The government says that ES-Digital will allow internal and public services to be provided more efficiently, leading to cost reductions. It will also improve tax collection mechanisms and the management of administrative and judicial processes, according to Prodest.
