  "text": "A critical requirement of the Communication Infrastructure is the bandwidth size that it may grant to the different interconnected sites and its capability to support this bandwidth inside its backbone network.\nThe bandwidth needed for the LNI and the optional BLNI will be different for each Member State, mainly dependent on the choices of using national copies, central searching and biometric data exchange.\nThe actual sizes that the Communication Infrastructure decides to offer are irrelevant as long as they comply with the minimal need of each Member State.\nEach of the aforementioned site types may transfer large chunks of data (alphanumeric, biometric and complete documents) in either direction. Therefore, the Communication Infrastructure must supply sufficient minimal guaranteed upload and download speeds for each connection.\nThe Communication Infrastructure must offer connection sizes varying from 2 Mbps up to 155 Mbps or higher. The network must supply sufficient minimal guaranteed upload and download speeds for each connection and it must be sized to support the total bandwidth size of the network access points.",
