A: No, the MNS does not leverage the P25 Trunk system.

Q: As stands, the existing MNS uses DTMF or FSK telemetry. These analog signaling are vulnerable to well-exploited security threats that can be used for unauthorized activation of the MNS, should the vendor propose an upgraded MNS which will use the P25 system and eliminates replay attacks?

A: No.

Q: Should the vendor propose a MNS upgrade solution where the system reliability and availability is increased via link redundancy?

A: No.

Q: Should the vendor propose radios that are J/F-12 certified?

A: Yes. There should only be need for 1 radio for the Commander Control station at the SCOT office.

Q: Should the MNS radios be capable of being remotely programmed for security keys from a central key management server?

A: No.

Q: Does the existing control station at command post and the two new controllers at 92nd CS and Alt Command post need to be siren agnostic so that future expansions are not vendor specific?

A: No.

Q: Should the upgraded MNS have the capability of remotely being managed from a remote location eliminating the need for pole climbs?

A: It will be managed as much as the Commander Control stations can manage.

Q: Should the proposed solution based on P25 support both Wired (CEN - Co-Located) and Wireless (within Radio coverage) Activations?

A: N/A

Q: Is Customer requesting additional battery backup/ surge protector for computer?

A: Yes.

Q: Are the dates, 15 Sep 2019- 15 Oct 19 flexible due to the lead time on equipment.

A: Yes

Q: Can we receive pictures of all of the existing activation equipment at Command Post and Alternate command post. Including antenna and radio(s).

A: We cannot provide pictures of the setup inside the Command Post locations, but we may be able to provide photos of the individual pieces of equipment.

Q: Can we get a picture of each siren cabinet.
