COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF AUGUST 22,1996 PSA#1664US Army, CECOM Acquisition Center, Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey 07703-5008 58 -- WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (WLANS) POC Judith Pinsky,
908/532-5987. Project Manager, Joint Tactical Area Communications
Systems (PM JTACS) is seeking potential sources for Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs) which could be incorporated in to the Army Tactical
Area Common User System (ACUS); which includes both TRI-TAC and MSE
systems. It is envisioned that the WLAN would interface to the ACUS
through an IEEE 802.3 port on the existing packet switch or in the
future through an ATM router connected to an ATM switch. The objective
requirements identified for the WLAN are that it should be compliant
with the IEEE 802.11 standard and must also comply with the Army and
Joint Technical Architecture. The WLAN should provide at least 3 Mb/s
throughput at distances of up to 3 kM for up to 40 users. Even if the
product you are identifying does not meet these specific requirements,
we would still appreciate a response with an explanation of whether
you plan on meeting these requirements in the future or whether you
feel these requirements cannot be achieved and why. In addition, we
would like you to address how your product either does or could be made
to operate in frequency ranges compatible with the military
environment. If you have any recommendations on how to secure your WLAN
product, this information would also be appreciated. Interested parties
are invited to submit a written response to this notice within 30 days.
Responses should include, as a minimum, the following information: 1)
description of capabilities in satisfying this requirement, 2) cost
information on your available products, 3) availability of your
product. It would be appreciated if all responses and questions
concerning this announcement be addressed to Ms. Judy Pinsky, OPM
JTACS, ATTN: SFAE-C3S-JTC-TMD, Ft. Monmouth, NJ 07703-5506, Telephone
(908) 532-5987. This announcement does not constitute a request for
proposal, but is solely for the purpose of planning by surveying the
market for qualified sources interested in the above requirement. No
formal soliciation is available at this time. (0233) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0355 19960821\58-0010.SOL)
