NAOS Automation Platform for Propagation Modelling

Background
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is conducting a study as part of a National Spectrum Strategy, focusing on the 3.1-3.45GHz and 7.125-8.40GHz bands for spectrum sharing. The goal is to develop a propagation model that accurately calculates how electromagnetic waves travel over various areas, which is essential for effective spectrum management.

Work Details
The contract involves providing the NAOS Automation Platform for Propagation Modelling, which utilizes the same propagation model used by the cellular industry to leverage NTIA's spectrum measurements. The platform supports 5G NR, 4G LTE, and multi-technology radio access networks, employing field-proven logic and algorithms suitable for service-based automation environments.

Key deliverables include:
- A one-time package purchase of the NAOS Automation Platform with a commitment to four years of maintenance.
- Licensing for 8 CPUs/vCPUs over a four-year period.
- Provision of microservices including Gateway, Project Explorer, Workflow Manager, NDAS, Control UI, and Aster NX for pathloss calculation.

Period of Performance
The period of performance begins upon award and lasts for twelve months, with three optional periods thereafter.

Place of Performance
The contract will be performed at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Spectrum Analysis and Engineering Division, located at 1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Suite 6725, Washington, D.C. 20230.
