RFP-FAC-2022-016 - Digital Two-Way Radio System Upgrade

The University of Winnipeg is seeking proposals from interested suppliers for a trunked, digital mobile radio system. The selected supplier shall engineer, furnish, configure, install and commission the mobile radio system for the University.The current campus radio system is at a stage where it has far surpassed its intended lifecycle.  While the infrastructure has provided the university with many years of service, the backbone of the radio network relies on technology originally installed in the early 1970s, with the addition of some upgraded components in approximately 1986

The campus has experienced significant growth over the past two decades which has challenges in communications throughout the campus and its various buildings with the existing system. These deficiencies have a potential impact on safety, should there be a situation or element whereby critical communications are required and are not able to be transmitted or received.
