- Description
- This acquisition will provide the following services: a) maintain the operations of the Geographic Broadcast Controller (GBC) and Location Server (LS) located at the Iridium Test Support Center (TSC), and virtual private network (VPN) to Dahlgren�s Operational Controller (OC); �b) maintain service availability of ACCESS, SBD, Certus, and other Iridium services utilized by the government team issuing this contract; c) develop and refine the Global Data Broadcast (GDB) Service; d) assist in the future development of new handheld end user devices that operate the ACCESS system and replace the current Radio Only Charlie (ROC), and; e) assist in the development and integration of devices utilizing SBD and GDB enabled modems as well as software defined radios.� As part of this effort, the Contractor shall evaluate the potential netted and/or broadcast communications architectures and shall recommend a course of action, which may include more than one architectural implementation, or the hybrid implementation(s) of multiple architectures.� Among the improvements and enhancements that will be implemented under the ACCESS and SBD architectures are the Key Performance Parameters (KPPs): �a) global range; b) increased capacity; c) improved service resilience to interference and jamming; d) and awareness and mitigation of network contention or congestion.� To design, build, and effectively test and evaluate the efficacy of these system enhancements, ongoing support for component-level and total system testing is required.� Additionally, this contract also supports the identification, development, enhancement and implementation of other Iridium-based services, products, and architectures.
