Deployable Multi-Band Radio Base Station

This offer proposes a set of activities to provide an innovative Deployable WCDMA Multi-Band Radio Base Station. The effort entails investigation, trade studies, and architecture design to support an easily fielded, transportable WCDMA Base Station not typical of mainstream communication deployments. The derived solution will support both military and commercial applications where terrestrial or satellite communications may not be available. The investigations for this project will focus on how multi-band, differing protocol (3GPP and MUOS) WCDMA channels can be supported by a single transportable radio base station, and options for interfacing users on these channels to their respective carriers such as the MUOS geosynchronous satellite system. The investigations will specifically address the challenges associated with interfacing a radio base station to MUOS network infrastructure equipment; resulting in a solution that will ensure communications features that meets the needs of the war fighters.
