The following information is from the initial bidding documents:
Install will be done in two phases. First will be the radio infrastructure and second phase will be the high speed wireless (hot spots). The high speed wireless has to be proprietary ie. Tropos or Mesh Networks. It must operate at 4.9 ghz frequency which the City of Jackson has acquired licenses for. This will be specifically to address the needs of the streaming video mentioned in the RFP. The licensed frequencies acquired by the City of Jackson are as follows: 813.9875 – 858.9875; 813.9875 – 859.9875; 813.9875 – 860.9875. One of those channels will be reserved for a future project. There will only be one channel used at each site for a total of two channels. The software that will be used will be HTE Public Safety software for all aspects. There are no other software vendors to be considered. The City of Jackson will require the raw bit rates plus the overhead percentage for your equipment and how it is degraded with multiple nodes. There will be a maximum of 200 nodes, with eighty (80) active at any one time. There will be a total of 200 vehicles equipped with the mobile data hardware. The makeup of these will consist of approximately 120 fixed mounts and 80 laptops. The notebook and modular units must be docked interchangeably. All units, both notebook and modular, must meet military specifications. At least eighty percent (80%) of these vehicles are Ford Crown Victorias. There will be one 800 Mhz channel at each tower site. The City of Jackson requests to know the upgrade path from 800 Mhz to 700 Mhz (related migration with proposed costs). The City of Jackson will provide power and RJ45 connectivity at each high speed (hot spot) location as needed.

COPS 2004
TECHNOLOGY GRANT TO BE A BIG BOOST TO JACKSON POLICE OFFICERS
The City of Jackson has been notified of approval for the COPS 2004 Technology grant, in the amount of $2.1 million, to initiate the Mobile Data Wireless Project.
This is Phase 2 or the grant, said Karen Bell, the city’s director of Finance, Audit and Budgeting. The city received $900,000 last year. The grant is awarded through the federal department of justice for the Community Oriented Policing program.
Police Chief Rick Staples said the Mobile Data Wireless project will install wireless computers in patrol cars. This will give officers the ability to file reports directly into a database, and also will give them instantaneous access to information from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The units are manufactured to fit Crown Victoria and Impala vehicles, of which the police fleet is comprised, so no retrofitting for equipment will be necessary,
Bell said the city expects to receive the official award letter on the grant this week.
"This technology will move our police department into the new century,” Staples said. “It will provide officers with information at their fingertips. It will make their jobs safer and more effective.”
The city applied for the grant in June of this year.
