Brand Name Justification “ Memotec FRADs The Military Sealift Command (MSC) requires Frame Relay Access Devices (FRADs) to support MSC ™s role in providing logistics support to the Navy fleet by providing vital communications capabilities for MSC ™s vessels. Memotec FRADs were selected because they are the direct replacement for our currently installed or fielded FRADs and utilize the same proprietary protocol named PowerCell (PVCR) as was used in the previous model. Their reliability and compatibility with existing MSC systems has been demonstrated and are needed to maintain MSC configuration control and management. They have been proven to meet the harsh requirements and tight confines of shipboard use and are necessary to support shipboard applications critical to the MSC mission. Any other manufacturer ™s product we try to add to this network will not be able to communicate with the Memotec equipment. Military Sealift Command (MSC) must test every IT configuration and every piece of hardware, software, etc. being installed on board a class of ships. The platform is specific to previous images and deviating from the hardware configuration would cause significant rework and testing. The existing platform is already an accredited system so going to a non-accredited system would also create significant rework for all channels of Navy Network Security. Standardization plays a key role in the efficiency of our network operation. MSC has extensively tested the Memotec FRAD ™s to make sure of their compatibility with existing systems on board ship and in the office environment. The hardware represented here has been tested and deployed as a standard configuration from ship to ship. A different manufacturers ™ FRAD product/solution aboard ships would tremendously hamper operability, utility and familiarity with equipment needed to support critical missions, thus resulting in an increase of Total Cost of Ownership. The Memotec FRADs are considered to be the best viable solution for this requirement. Considering alternate brands is not a technological or economical option for this IT solution because of the proprietary protocol associated with this equipment.
