Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The service being purchasccl must meet the requirement to re-align the Simulsat SC/Ku model antenna canted vertically and horizontally in order to align with the geobelt. The Simulsat antenna is used to monitor a bandwidth transponder. The Simulsat antenna is currently looking at 28 different satellites using 96 individual feeds. All 96 feeds will need to be re-peaked and polarized for the new satellites. The antenna is designed for a wind load of 90 mph (operational) and 125 mph (survivability) requ iring a proposal to meet this requirement. A new feed assignment listing as well as a full evaluation of the feed-box, LNBs, and cabling are required upon completion of the service.

ATCi is the sole vendor capable of performing 100% of this service.

The proprietary drawings a lso include existing substructu re of the load bearing requirements for the site, as well as additiona l concrete pads that will need to be installed.
