Vendor Question Government Answer

It appears that a large SOW is the replacement/upgrade of the TG’s. It is noted you all want them set up with your central station. Will you be registering these TG’s once you have them or are we registering the TG’s and then using your central stations information to forward signals too?

The vendor will be registering and using the central stations located at ARHO for signaling.

It also notes existing conventional zones will be monitored by new equipment. There is no device count to quantify how many modules would potentially be needed.
