CDC requires a new IP Telephony System to replace the current one and seeks suitable proposals for the design and implementation of the following:

 

•1.      An integrated IP telephony solution comprising:
a.      A single composite system of call managers, servers, gateways or any suitable combination of equipment necessary for internal and external IP telephony communication, call logging and call management. The system should support the following minimum features:

•                        i.      A unified dial plan across all locations

•                        ii.      Direct inward dialing

•                        iii.      Voice mail

•                        iv.      Directory services (unified communications not needed)

•                         v.      Multi-protocol support (e.g. SIP, H323)

•                         vi.      Multi-codec support (e.g. G711, G723)

•                         vii.      Call conferencing and bridge-calling

•                         viii.      Soft phone clients support[WI1] 

 •b.      Telephone handsets

•c.       Equipment necessary for PRI ISDN, PSTN and Fax integration

•d.      Support for the following telephony services providers:

•                                              i.      Telkom Kenya

•                                              ii.      Safaricom

•                                              iii.      Airtel

•e.      Integration with:

•                                              i.      Current Siemens PBX

•                                              ii.      KEMRI PBX

•                                              iii.      VC units at the various locations

•f.        Optional integration with Access control and CCTV systems

 

•2.      Building of new independent IPT Local Area Networks (IPTLANs) at the Nairobi-HQ, Kisumu-Kisian, and Kisumu-CRC sites including:

•a.      Fully configured access layer PoE switches - preferably layer 3 switches - for the connection of all telephones and all other specified IP telephony components

•b.      Suitable IP scheme, CoS and QoS configurations of the above switches

•c.       Appropriately placed firewall(s) and/or other appropriate security solution to protect the IP telephony infrastructure

•d.      Secure integration of the Nairobi-HQ IPTLAN with an existing wireless LAN currently connected to the internet

•e.      Provision for the integration of the Kisumu-Kisian and Kisumu-CRC IPTLANs with future wireless LANs

 

Note: Building the new LANs will exclude physical cabling as this is already present (Cat5e and higher) at all locations.

 

 

•3.      Interconnection of the three IPT LANs in mesh topology through the existing MPLS links. At a minimum, it is envisioned that this will require:

•a.      Determining the optimal specifications of bandwidth, latency, jitter, packet loss on the LAN and WAN for the proposed IPT solution.

•b.      Analysis of the current MPLS infrastructure and recommendation of configuration changes required to implement the new IPT system.

•c.       Appropriate QoS configuration throughout the WAN

 

•4.      An appropriate monitoring solution; capable of:

•a.      Administering the IPT system

•b.      Monitoring  up/down status of all key IPT components

•c.       Monitoring  quality of the IPT service on the LAN and WAN

•d.      Setting quality thresholds and generating alerts when thresholds or adverse conditions are encountered

 

•5.      Provide post implementation support for 90 days after the certified completion date of the project.
