The NUC requests information about the overall capabilities of vendors to provide product / equipment enterprise solutions to facilitate a phased deployment of WLAN 802.11n mixed mode and wired guest access for various locations on the House Campus. The NUC would like to review creative and cost effective solutions to provision network management tools, hardware/software, training, pricing, and on-going a la carte maintenance of WLAN 802.11n mixed mode products and wired guest access. The NUC is particularly interested in prior WLAN & wired guest enterprise solution experiences with government agencies as well as technical solutions and pricing schemes. Firm quotes or proposals are NOT requested at this time. The NUC intends to develop a Wireless LAN 802.11n mixed mode & Wired Guest Enterprise Solution initially to designated hotspots throughout the House Campus and thereafter organically growing the solution to other portions of the campus as accessible. The ‘hotspot' areas include but are not limited to: House cafeterias, Committee hearing rooms and ante rooms, conference rooms, self-scheduled meeting rooms, banquet rooms, press areas and other common or mass meeting areas as designated. The technical products/information sought consists of: • GWAC/GSA Contract Vehicle • Network Management Tools and Capabilities • Network Management Analysis/Analyzers • Security solutions and capabilities • WLAN Controller & Access Point (AP) details, specifications and capabilities • On-going a la carte maintenance/upgrades, system evaluation solutions, and multi-year pricing schemes The NUC wishes to stress that the intent of this RFI is to obtain information only. It is not a solicitation or request for offers. Cabling/installation, electrical and other utility provisioning are outside the scope of this RFI and need not be a part of any response. The NUC is seeking scalable pricing solutions that seek to diminish expensive and cost restricting add-on licensing fees and specifically explain and identify the evolutionary path of Draft 2.0 802.11n products that will evolve into available 802.11n products and how that product and equipment evolution may impact product costs and availability over the next three years.
