DESCRIPTION OF NEED The U.S. Government requires a solution to upgrade a Neutral Host Distributed Antenna System (DAS) from a 3G system to a high function 4G/5G system (using Cell Phone Boosters or replacing the existing system) in support of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) located at Fort Knox, Kentucky that is designed to provide excellent RF coverage for an area that is approximately 940,000 square feet for six buildings. The DAS must support several wireless services that operate at different carrier frequency and use different signal protocols.
