Cellular Booster System

The contract involves the comprehensive design, installation, and integration of a cellular booster system for a facility located in Missouri, under the City of Republic's jurisdiction. The scope includes conducting detailed indoor and perimeter signal strength surveys for two designated areas, identifying optimal antenna placements with strong outside signals, and creating heatmaps to visualize indoor coverage. The system must support multiple carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular, ensuring robust LTE and 5G voice and data coverage across relevant frequency bands. The design emphasizes scalability, real-time monitoring, automatic gain control, and compliance with FCC regulations, particularly Part 20 rules governing signal boosters. Installation entails mounting external donor antennas on the roof or suitable exterior structures, internal ceiling-mounted antennas for uniform indoor coverage, and signal boosters with appropriate gain, all protected by lightning and surge suppression. Cabling must be professionally routed and secured, with controls easily accessible within the facility’s control rooms. Equipment must fit within an existing 24U rack space, including necessary power supplies, cable management, and backup power solutions such as UPS or emergency power compatibility. The project also encompasses system integration with the facility’s network, remote monitoring capabilities, thorough testing with pre- and post-installation signal measurements, and comprehensive staff training on system operation and troubleshooting. Full documentation, including diagrams, IP addresses, device details, and warranty information, will be provided to ensure ongoing maintenance and future expansion. The contract value ranges from $500,000 to $1,500,000, with the work to be completed in accordance with the specified technical and logistical requirements.
