Overall Intent is to provide two (2) brand name VICOM gateways with four (4) radio connections each as well as antennas, cabling, couplers and power supplies. The gateways will be used to record and network radio communications over IP between various administrators, user and viewers. This will be used at the ICC to establish communication for the Command Post and Battlestaff for daily communications, situational awarenewss, flight tracking and contingency operations. This equipment will enable the ICC and the secondary location to communicate with various aircraft and other entities working with AFSOC and the 1 SOW. The VICOM functionality, cables boxes, connections and switches will remote communications from the radio room to the Battlestaff area and the Command Post area. This will provide both locations the ability to have full up radio capabilities that are listed in flight publications. This system is needed to provide ICC the ability to remote the programming, audio and transmit functions to the computers. Without this function, the ICC will not be able to grant users outside of the building the ability to listen to broadcasts of the radio over IP to other listeners. The base station shall support (5) AN/PRC-117G radios and (2) AN/PRC-160 radios. These radios will be provided by the Government. Contractor must have a Facility Clearance.
