Forecast text
CBP operates a Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system within the United States Border Patrol El Centro sector. The Government is increasing radio coverage and refreshing equipment in three radio GAP identification areas for two radio channels within the El Centro sector and specified throughout this SOW. Adding radio coverage to these critical areas will support USBP to meet mission requirements, as well as enhance officer and public safety. The contractor shall be responsible for making all the configuration changes to the conventional subsystem (CSUB) at El Centro Sector Headquarters (SHQ) that are required to fully integrate the new equipment and configure it to match the latest modernized segments of CBP’s LMR network. All the equipment that the Contractor deploys shall match CBP’s network core version at the time of final system acceptance. CBP currently uses Motorola ASTRO 2022.HS and is in the process of upgrading to version 2025.HS, expecting to complete the upgrade by October of 2026 – but dates may change.
The effort shall be a standards-based non-proprietary P25 tactical communications solution that meets CBP’s requirements for narrowband channel assignments compliant with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) security and shall be fully integrated into the Motorola ASTRO 25 M3 core with Dynamic System Resiliency (DSR) using Conventional P25 network protocols in the El Centro Sector.
