Connectbase introduced the following new features, enhancements and bug fixes in this release.
TCW Enhancements
In Connectbase Bid Management (CBM), the default expiration date for CBM Requests has been extended from 1 day to 90 days from the date of request initiation. This change gives Suppliers more time to review and respond to requests.
Users still have full control to set a custom expiration date. However, if no date is selected, the system will now default to 90 days.
This release enhances connection visibility and expands access to partners in Linkbase:
Buyers can now connect to API-integrated Sellers, expanding quoting opportunities.
Sellers can now view and connect to Buyers via a new Buyers list.
Approval Status is now shown for each Seller and Buyer, indicating if pre-authorization has been provided (formerly “Blanket Approval”).
Connection checks have been improved to better prevent duplicate or invalid connection requests.

Ethernet - Dedicated
Dedicated Internet
Broadband
Following rate limits apply for Lyntia API:

Verizon POQ API is the replacement API for Verizon FTTI. Its structure is very similar but it has improved on its address matching capabilities. The Verizon POQ API is a Serviceability API, which means that a Rate Card is required to obtain pricing with the API.
API Constraints:
Rate Limit: Only 2 calls can be made every 1 second.
API Exclusion Criteria:
Verizon POQ products are not serviceable outside of the United States.
Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |

The original implementation of Verizon Quote API in Rp2 will generate records of request_response as FAILED directly. This improvement corrected this behavior and got rid of potential failed request_response records that could block the queue of Verizon Quote when those records are refreshed. | |
Resolved an issue that was causing some building import uploads to fail unexpectedly. The problem occurred when the system lost its connection during the upload process, which also prevented proper recovery. With this fix, the upload experience is now more stable and reliable, ensuring your building files process as expected without interruption. |
