REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT NB671000-18-00867 TITLE: Long Term Evolution Evolved Packet System, Nokia I.BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) program conducts research, development, testing, and evaluation to foster nationwide interoperability and advanced communications and operations technology for the nation's public safety community. PSCR is in need of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) evolved packet system (EPS) to be used in a laboratory setting in order to continue research into public safety LTE communications. The EPS will consist of many pieces, including hardware and software. The EPS will be compliant with current third generation partnership project (3GPP) specifications. II.SCOPE The EPS consists of two major portions; the evolved packet core (EPC) and the radio access network (RAN). The EPC will run on standard server hardware to be provided by PSCR. The RAN requires specialized hardware, including eNodeBs, and associated hardware. The contractor shall install all hardware at a cell site. Open source software may be included in the contractor's product as long as the contractor provides the integration and support of the open source portion. As this application is for a laboratory environment, there is no requirement for antennas. PSCR will provide space in the laboratory, servers running virtual machines, network connections, 19" racks for mounting equipment, AC power (120/208V, 60Hz), DC power (-48V), and climate control.
