Scope of Work Current Environment and Shortcomings This is a response to an RFP authored by City of South Bend (CoSB). All information regarding the current condition of the environment has been determined from the RFP they have provided. Requested Features City of South Bend has requested to provide free outdoor wireless coverage on Western Avenue between the crossing roads of S. Kaley Street, and Dundee Street. Equipment to be used for this location shall include: • Cisco ME3400e series switches (2) • 1572 Series Outdoor Access Points (2) • AIR-ANT2568 Model Antenna • Licensing to be use for a Cisco 5508 WLAN controller • Required Single -Mode SFPs CoSB has provided a list of the equipment that includes the features and functionality they require for adequate operation of their network. Alternative equipment may be provided as long as it provides the same features and functionality of the identified equipment. Proposed Solution NSI has provided a response for the use of the requested equipment to be integrated into the existing wireless control system and switched infrastructure. NSI will perform the installation and testing of this new equipment. NSI relies on Cisco's portfolio of products to deliver fast, reliable, and secure network access solutions. A strong foundation of switching allows packets to be reliably delivered from one end of the network to the other. Cisco's Catalyst switches and Aironet access points are the latest in a long history of reliable network access equipment. The modern network is asked to support a number of endpoints. Traditional devices such as workstations, servers, and phones have been joined by cellphones, tablets, TVs, and other network enabled devices that continue to add load and dependence on the infrastructure. Cisco's switches, access points, and security products work together to provide best -in -class reliability and security for those devices. Design S ecifications and Assum lions • Assumption 1—The installation for the access points will be best mounted on the signal light crossbar at the corners of Dundee and Western Ave, and Kaley and Western Ave. • Assumption 2 —There is a potential that the installation group will need to use additional hardware for the mounting to the signal bar. This could require an additional hardware cost and change order for these items. • Assumption 3 —Available SFP slots are available on the upstream distribution switch. • Assumption 4—access to existing switched infrastructure will be accessible to review necessary configuration needs for integration of the new equipment Assumption 5 - CoSB will need to provide necessary fiber patch cables that are needed for the link from the fiber termination point to the SFP installed in the switch. It was undetermined on the type of fiber connections needed and this NOT provided in the quote for this project. Implementation Network Solution Inc. views the successful completion of this project as a partnership between themselves and City of South Bend.
