The technical requirements of the GridPP Tier-1 site depend on JANET\u2019s dedicated infrastructure and JISC\u2019s unique peering agreements with other European NRENs \u2014 which cannot be replicated by commercial providers. Therefore, JISC is the only provider capable of delivering the connectivity to the necessary specifications.",
