Description
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing a Mobile Technology Passive Optical Network (MTPON) Communications Service to support rapid deployment of secure, high-bandwidth communications along the U.S. southern and northern borders. The solution must integrate with CBP's existing Linear Ground Detection System fiber optic cable, provide WiFi connectivity, and operate reliably in extreme environmental conditions. The Government seeks to acquire this capability as a managed service, with the vendor responsible for providing, maintaining, and operating all necessary hardware, software, and end devices.
Key features of the required solution include:
• Mobile platform: self-sufficient for 3 days, with alternative power sources
• Antenna mast: deployable mast between 20-60 ft
• Coverage: continuous WiFi coverage for up to five miles
• WiFi integration: must tie into WiFi antennas to provide wireless coverage to end users
• Integration: must interface with CBP's Linear Ground Detection System fiber optic cable
• Environmental durability: operable in extreme temperatures and weather conditions
• End devices: vendor to provide, deploy, and maintain all end devices
• Maintenance: vendor responsible for system maintenance (hardware and software)
• Network and data security: must comply with DHS, CBP, and federal cybersecurity standards
