E-MAIL: Richard Myers, rmyers@spacecom.af.mil. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON FUTURE TECHNOLOGY: This is a request for information only, no Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation for Bid (IFB) will be issued as a result of the information gathered at this time. The Communications and Information Directorate at Headquarters Air Force Space Command, Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has a need to collect information on possible future technology. Specifically, the directorate wants to learn about the near term feasibility of transmission of voice over IP. Interested firms should address the issue in detail, stating what capabilities are envisioned for voice transmission over IP and how such a medium can be compatible in a highly reliable command and control, multi-level security environment which will be mostly (if not all) fiber-based. Note any current technology pertinent to voice-over-IP, as well as obstacles which may impede development, plus a rough time estimate on making voice-over-IP technology feasible and applications forthis technology. Also address how such technology could be cost-effectively and reasonably provided. Reports should be typed using a 12-pitch Times New Roman font and should be bound. Do not submit a loose-leafed report. Ensure the report is concise and jargon-less using standard English and in keeping with The Chicago Manual of Style. Define all terms. Proprietary information included in the report should be so noted; otherwise, the information contained therein becomes the property of the United States Air Force. Any provided information should be sent to the requestor no later than 45 days from the date of this request. The directorate hopes to install a voice-over-IP capability at Peterson Air Force Base in the 2002 timeframe. However, this request is for information only and does not lead to the award of contracts. Firms interested in addressing this future technology question should direct their reports to: Major Steve Browning, USAF AFSPC CSS/SCIC 150 Vandenberg Street, St 1105 Peterson AFB CO 80914-4730 Posted 03/12/99 (D-SN308022).
