These hand-held radios will improve existing communications capabilities and have the ability to be utilized in any "Over-the-Air-Rekeying" (OTAR) scenario. The radios shall be portable (handheld) in nature. The units must be able to perform all OTAR activities in conjunction with the existing TSA land mobile radio (LMR) inventory of approximately 8,600 Motorola handheld radios and repeaters. The optimal solution utilizes the current LMR inventory, improves operational readiness and implements an encrypted radio communications solution. TSA invites major radio manufacturers [Original Equipment Manufacturers -- OEMs ] ONLY to demonstrate their product offerings to TSA subject and program experts at TSA Headquarters in Arlington, VA during the week of October 25 through October 29, 2010.
