1. Description of the challenge

For the past 6 years, KPN has proudly held the title of having the most reliable network in the Netherlands, boasting an impressive score of 976/1000. However, this achievement is not sufficient for them; they aspire to reach the pinnacle with a perfect score of 1000/1000.

In an era where the internet has become an indispensable part of our lives, playing a crucial role in areas such as innovative healthcare applications and your own educational interactions, its infrastructure remains both indispensable and vulnerable. KPN recognizes the ever-growing significance of a robust internet backbone that not only consistently delivers but is also resilient in the face of challenges.

2. Expected outcome

Now, KPN extends a challenge to all, urging you to provide insights and recommendations on creating a network with unparalleled reliability. Consider the implementation of self-healing capabilities, predictive maintenance solutions, and other strategies to address potential disruptions in the core network. Your expertise is sought to propel KPN towards a future where their network achieves the ultimate goal of 100% reliability.
