(Current as of 6-September-2024)
Q1. There is no Audio DSP that is certified and has the ability to be placed on a SIPR network to support teleconference calls so security requirements could not be met. Is the SIPR teleconference capability a hard requirement or can it be supported using an existing conferencing solution?
A1. SIPR requirement is being removed from the Performance Work Statement.
Q2. There is no Audio DSP certified to be connected to a NIPR network, however, if an analog POTs line is provided, Audio teleconference can be supported. Will the Government provide an analog POTs line to support this capability?

Q3. Is there access available to get into the slatted ceiling to hang new ceiling mics? If so, what type of access and where is it located as the pictures do not show where this access is located.
