Cellular Phone Network Survey

The contract involves providing comprehensive cellular network survey services across various locations in New York State, focusing on measuring cellular signal strength along approximately 1,127 roadway miles. The scope includes conducting full spectrum scans using recently calibrated equipment to analyze signals from all cellular service providers, with particular attention to 5G-NR, 4G, and other relevant technologies. Data collection encompasses identifying Cell IDs, and measuring RSRP, RSRQ, SINR levels, and other key metrics. Additionally, throughput testing will be performed using phones with SIM cards to assess speed, latency, and voice quality for individual carriers, enabling precise carrier identification. The collected data must be formatted in ARC-GIS compatible files, including HEX layers suitable for integration with the FCC National Broadband Map, and provided as CSV files. This opportunity emphasizes inclusivity, encouraging MWBE and SDVOB organizations to submit bids, although there are no set-aside goals for minority, women, service-disabled veteran, or disadvantaged-owned businesses. The contract, issued by LiRo Engineers, Inc., is a one-month project with a deadline for responses set for May 16, 2025, and covers all counties within New York State. The project’s estimated value ranges between $500,000 and $1,500,000.
