B. Communication System Appraisal
The existing communication services must be inventoried and evaluated prior to
any new design implementation. This service is an information gathering step that
identifies the current communication services and determines the portability of
these network components. SM&W will issue a detailed questionnaire and spend
appropriate time with OEM’s technical and network support staff in order to
compile an accurate picture of the existing communication systems and new
requirements. The OEM will be requested to provide a “Letter of Agency” for
inquiry purposes only, for all its common carriers. Among the items to be
identified are;
1. Develop Communication System Profile
l.l Current common carrier services - types, request circuit
identification, quantities (voice data, fax, video, radio, etc.)
1.2 Communication service contractual obligations and temunation
liabilities to be provided by agencies for review.
1.3 Integration of the communication system with other sites which are
not relocating.
1.4 Voice systems (PBX or carrier-based); service types and quantities
1.5 Radio systems (dispatch, emergency operations, radio TEE, etc.)
Including roof deck and radio riser requirements
1.6 LAN and WAN communication installed base and projected
requirements
1.7 Current cabling system design and future requirements
1.8 intra- and inter-building communication services and future needs
1.9 Discuss disaster recovery plans and fecility requirements
1.10 Special communication requirements ( microwave, cellular,
infrared, satellite, etc.)
1.11 Discuss network security design and future needs.
1.12 Review and make recommendations for legacy systems which must
be relocated to the Emergency Management Center (i.e., teletype
devices, “current loop” technology dispatch devices, analog data
components, ring-downs (automatic and manual), etc.)
