I. Background
?J - Project Scope of Work Summary
The operational requirement for the voice system is for the provision of fixed switched telephone capability
connected to the NATO Core Network (NCN) to be deployed in Kandahar Air field (KAF).
In addition, regarding the Data system, the majority of the KAF (Kandahar Airfield) users are currently
served via a temporary solution. This project will initially provide the LAN access layer (switches and
cabling), and fibre Network Interface Cards (NICS) for 335 workstations which are expected to migrate to
the current nodes or 4 additional Area Distribution Nodes (ADN), which are fibre based. + Gy;JKc'. 1 -.F
&@"l
Finally, the project will include fixed line voice capability to enhance the radio voice capability at the guard
towers, as well as data connectivity to increase information exchange.
2. Scope of work
Voice System: This project will expand the Phase 1 Voice solution by 4 additional nodes to support KAF
expansion in the North and South portions of the airfield. The expansion will include the addition of the
expansion shelves to the Phase I architecture Siemens Hipath 4000 voice switch.
In addition, the voice equipment will be replaced by the voice equipment procured through this project. The
replacement will include new user voice instruments, using existing copper cabling where available.
Data System: This project will expand the Phase 1 MANILAN data solution by 4 additional nodes to
support KAF expansion in the North and South portions of the airfield. The expansion will include the
addition of the data switches to the Phase 1 architecture (SAGEM SHD Node), which is based on large and
medium CISCO network switches for the key CIS backbone architecture and small (Local Area Network
(LAN)) switches to support building network solutions. , s a" ITVLVK -.LgoLLZ 6 cxd'tJY~~i.
In addition, some data equipment will be replaced by the data equipment procured through this project.
Voice and Data Capability to the KAF Watch Towers: The existing voice and data systems shall he
expanded to meet KAF Watch Tower requirements, not covered under Phase 1 implementation of the
project. The cabling to the Watch Towers will be integrated as much as possible with any other civil works
required under pending engineering PSRs for KAF Perimeter Expansion and Watch Tower upgrades or
replacements.
Approximately thirty eight (38) watch tower locations (including ECPs) shall be provided with voice, data
and cabling during Phase 2.
The on site installation and testing for the areas mentioned above are part of the scope of this project.
Spectrum Management Capabilitv:
This project shall deliver a Spectrum Analysis and Management system to meet the Military Requirements
for KAF. No Spectrum Management capability was delivered initially. The spectrum analysis and
management capability shall consist of:
Spectrum Analysis for KM, and a training system for Brunssum.
Spectrum Management for KAF to be tied into an ISAF-wide system
The main part of the project will be the achievement of the Data system requirements.
