Orange County, NC December 6, 2023 <br />Emergency Radio Respose Converage <br />System Description <br /> <br />Use or disclosure of this proposal is subject to the restrictions on the cover page. <br />Motorola Solutions <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />Section 1 System Description <br />Orange County Schools has requested a proposal from Motorola Solutions for the 700/800 MHz ERRC/ <br />ERCES BDA/ DAS solution. This proposal is complaint with the current local and North Carolina Fire <br />Code requirements. Motorola is proposing a suite of Amplifier Solutions. <br />Depending on final design, Motorola will install a Class A Critical Point ½ Watt, 2 Watt, or 5W <br />Bidirectional Amplifier. For a very large school where the design required it, we would specify a Critical <br />Point Fiber Active Class A solution that would allow us to extend service to fiber-fed remotes. All <br />“active” electronics will include a code-compliant Battery Backup solution as the secondary source of <br />power. These BBUs allow full code compliant alarming with ties to the Fire Alarm Panel. <br />We have installed it in several hundred facilities, including within several large school districts. The <br />class A product has several distinct advantages over a Class B amplifier. It allows each channel to <br />have independent Automatic Gain Control (AGC). This prevents a strong radio near an antenna from <br />causing the gain of distant radios on a different channel from being attenuated and possibly losing <br />coverage. It also prevents a nearby tower with private radio channels from taking up capacity on the <br />BDA that should be reserved for First Responder use. <br /> 3-Year Parts Warranty with Free Advanced Equipment Exchange Program <br /> BDA contained in Nema 4 type enclosure <br /> Battery System in Nema 3R Type Enclosure <br /> Equipment is FCC Certified <br /> Further, they provide the following state of the art features: <br />- Comprehensive alarming capabilities, which supports all NFPA and IFC required monitoring <br />and alarming. <br />- Local and SNMP based remote monitoring <br />- Built-in signal generator and isolation testing function <br />- Digital/programmable filters utilizing FPGA technology <br />- Supports public safety 700/800MHz in single band or dual band version <br />- Supports P25 P1/P2 digital and conventional analog communications simultaneously <br />- Supports FirstNet LTE band 14 <br />- Single band versions include license to switch from original band to alternate band <br />- Single band can be upgraded to dual band via license key <br />- Each band supports up to 32 narrow band filters (Class A) <br />- Channelized Auto Level Control (ALC) / Channelized uplink squelch (Class A) <br />- NetProtect Uplink PA shutdown during no traffic periods to minimize noise being introduced <br />to the network (Class A) <br />- Built-in mandatory isolation test to prevent BDA oscillation <br />- Auto shutdown with alarm upon oscillation detection <br />- Web based GUI for intelligent configuration, SNMP supported <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: BE948547-DFB5-4563-86D7-3BADC4768A61
