REQUIREMENT: The Contractor shall provide the following items as specified as the requirement is Brand Name only. The 112th Signal Battalion requires purchasing four (4) each L-band fiber optic transceiver systems (shelter) model number AC1209L, four each L-band fiber optic transceiver systems (remote) AC1209L-R and eight each fiber optic jumper cables J-Im4-TFOCA2-FC/APC. The fiber modems are used to extend the RF capability in order to support Phoenix satellite terminals and baseband communications equipment for the Battalion. Currently the 112th are using two sets of these models for fiber modems to provide services in the CENTCOM AOR. Four (4) more of these sets are needed and it is needed as well that they are compatible with the set presently in use in order for the Phoenix systems can be operated remotely and TDMA signals sent without changing any protocols or dropping the shot. This will also cause less down time to troubleshoot a component that is not compatible with our existing architecture. The modems required must also meet the following specifications: ? The RF path must have transmit and receive isolation on the link ? The modem must have an Ethernet interface using a single fiber strand. ? The modem set will need to be furnished with a 1000M 4 channel single mode fiber reel with TFOCA II ends. This will also require a 2 ea TFOCA II fan-out per modem set (2 meters long) with FC ends on the fan-out ends. ? The modem must have LED status indicators for both the optics side of the links as well as the RF and Ethernet side of the links. ? The modem must have an LED status indicator for power state. ? The modem must be matched to 75 Ohm impedance. ? RF Link gain must be between -2dBm to +2dBm ? Modem optical interfaces must be SM FC/APC ? Modem RF interfaces must be N type ? Ethernet interface must be 8x8 Rj45 ? Link will be modeled for 1--- meters ? The input to the optical transmitter must be capable of withstanding signal levels of -40 to 0dBm(+10dBm as absolute maximum) (RF Uplink) ? RF Downlink maximum RF input to fiber optic transmitter is less than 0dBm. ? Modems must operate in temperatures of -30 Degrees C to 75 Degrees C. ? Modems will be designed to fit in standard 19 inch rack mounts, with front and rear supports. Along with the material support of acquiring the modems the 112th requires technical support in order to ensure that this equipment is compatible with our Phoenix Satellite Communications Systems: Pre-Engineering Support: Vendor will be required to visit the installation location, 112th Signal Battalion, Fort Bragg, NC and meet with the 112th engineers to determine specific engineering and functionality requirements of the Fiber to RF modems. Tasks would include pre-engineering design discussions and assessment of required RF component interfaces. This work should be accomplished in 24 work hours. Post-Engineering Support: Vendor will be required to visit the same installation site and assist with the initial installation of equipment. Tasks would include fault discovery and troubleshooting, product acceptance testing and delivery acceptance testing, initial item training and familiarization, and engineering recommendations for product improvement. This will be considered complete when the 112th engineers are able to remote the modems from the terminal and see no degradation of RF performance. This work shall as well be accomplished in 24 work hours. The installation, testing and training shall take place at the 112th Signal Battalion motor pool area (Building E-4166). The hours of operation will be during the regular duty hours of 0900 ? 1700. Site Visit: A coordinated site visit will be scheduled for all interested vendors wishing to submit a proposal.
