Xiphos Macro (Band 4) system, (1) Xiphos Band 14 radio, (1) Xiphos Band 4 Radio, (1) Xiphos server of the Xiphos Micro system currently operational within the C5AD lab environment. The Xiphos Macro base stations are currently in use by C5AD in the labs for wireless technical testing and also used in the field for project support to support exercises. Xiphos Macro Band 4 and Band 17 systems are deployable

4th Generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) tactical broadband solutions required by C5AD for project support. Xiphos Macro systems deliver 4G broadband to enable many networked applications needed by "edge"-positioned personnel, including high-definition video, voice and data delivery, embedded standards-based interoperable cellular functionality, and other connectivity crucial to mission-critical operations. The Xiphos Micro is a highly portable small form-factor 4G LTE self-contained network. This is designed for on the move operations and provides a mobile broadband environment to enable voice, video, and data communications. The Xiphos Micro is capable of synchronizing operations with the Xiphos Macro systems C5AD currently has in place. This maintenance renewal is required for

C5AD project support for the Remote Advise and Assist (RAA) project, Special Operations Forces (SOF)

Lab, and the 4GLTE Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Pilot Project.

The items purchased must be 100% compatible with existing systems to ensure no degradation of capability or delay to the C5AD. The cost of adding another manufacturer to the existing Oceus network would significantly and unnecessarily increase complexity while preventing continued functionality with mobile data communications.

Xiphos maintenance renewal is essential to the Government’s requirements and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs. This requirement will be awarded to Oceus Networks or an authorized reseller of Oceus Networks products.

The requiring agency has determined that commercial items are available that fulfill agency needs.

The contracting agency has determined that there are authorized federal reseller that can fulfill the requirement via Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO).
