We request to waive the partially the

requirement of the holding of a minimum of 20 years PCAB license

General engineering and Communication Facilities

2. We request to allow A or B

category for General Engineering

and Communication Facilities should be considered as well

3.Such PCAB in General Engineering

license BE REQUIRED FROM THE

FABRICATOR partner of the bidder and NOT from the bidder (not from

the Bidder itself) since this is primarily a bid for Microwave Radio.

Most companies who will join are either supplier of equipment BUT

NOT a tower fabricator at the same.

SO it is almost impossible to be both a supplier of both microwave radio

and fabricator of towers at the same time.

The principal equipment to be delivered under this Project is MW

Radio, only with Antenna Towers, that is 3- legged/Monopole_ self-

supporting Tower or 4-legged self- supporting tower, which

requirement as to towers can be put

up by a PCAB Licensee not necessarily under AAA Category.

Hence, the AAA PCAB License requirement is too high of a

category. In relation thereto, too

long possession of such a license for a period of at least 20 years appears

to be restrictive.

The waiver will allow more

participants and make the bidding more competitive

least one of the JV should

comply to this requirement.

Technical Specifications

Item 1.1.5, Page 84

Shall support the following modulations

schemes without any

hardware change, or additional boards: QPSK,

16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, 256QAM,

512QAM, 1024QAM up to

4096QAM whichever is applicable per site

Since this is a bid that includes

DETAILED DESIGN, kindly allow modulation scheme up to 2048QAM.

4096QAM is not usually used for backbone or long haul transmission

and the capacity increase of this

modulation is negligible if we compare it to 2048QAM.

Denied. The modulation

scheme of 4096QAM may not be required in the hops

in this project, however, it still have to be at least

supported, in case we need

higher capacity or reallocation with higher

capacity requirement. There should be about 8~10%

capacity increase per RF

which is not negligible and further mutiplying that

increased capacity with the no. of MODEMS or Channels

your MW Radio System can accommodate, which in this

RFP, we prefer up to 12

MODEMS or 12-Way, would definitely provide a better

scalability for the MW Radio System if you can comply.

1.1.6, Page84

Frequency: the equipment shall support

all licensed bands L6 to

42 GHz.


DETAILED DESIGN, kindly allow “the equipment shall support ANY of the

licensed bands between l6 to 42 GHz as what may be required depending

on the bidders design".

high frequencies are not usually used

for backbone or long haul transmission design.

Denied. This RFP does not

require the bidder to design all hops using all frequency

bands. The bidder is given the liberty to propose its own

recommended frequency

based on the link budget design requirement using the

KPIs provided in the RFP (Avail=99.99%, 35dBm).

However, the bidder is still compelled to comply that it

can support L6GHz uo to

42GHz for flexibility.

Technical Specification

Item 1.1.6,Page84

ODU that is tunable to

the whole frequency (sub-band free.) Vendors

shall state what kind of free tunable ODU can be

provided. Self Frequency

scan is required.


DETAILED DESIGN, the mentioned reference statements are not

applicable for long haul

transmissions.

sub-band free radios are usually used for access radios and not for

long haul radios which filters are

needed.

if DICT needs to have removable diplexers on the ODU, the IP66

compliance (waterproof and dustproof) will be affected.

self frequency scanning is used in PTP UNlicensed radios. this is not

needed with licensed radios since the frequency is dedicated to one (1)

user only.

Please note that preferred

equipment to be supplied in this proposal is

Outdoor/Split-Type System.

If you are proposing a Long Haul Transmission Radio

System which uses indoor filters and connected to

antenna via waveguide, then

this is not this RFP's preferred radio type to be

supplied. However, if you are referring to the

"outdoor" filters which you intend to supply which

probably includes the

duplexer units, these all have to be for outdoor use.

ODUs to be used should be sub-band free, provide such

information in your proposal

to identify which frequency bands are supported.

ODU's IP66 compliance is non-negotiable. Removable

items, such as diplexers, are not preferred. ODUs should

have wide-band filters.

Self-freqeuncy scanning can also be defined as being able

to check for the suitable point frequency to be used

using the installed ODUs and

having the opposite station in mute mode for

transmitting, then checking at local station if

interferences are observed.

Receive Signal threshold

Sensitivity: the radio equipment must have

Since this is a bid that includes DETAILED DESIGN, please allow the

bidder to state their own Receive Signal Threshold Sensitivity. (same

as the transmit power) in reference to the equipment configuration per

equipment's Receive Signal Threshold. It is understood

that Receive Signal Threshold shall be based on

modulation, bandwidth and

10-6 of -60dBm or better.

Please not that the Receive Signal Threshold Sensitivity (same as the

transmit Power) depends on the modulation and frequency used

which is based on the bidders

design.

frequency band which shall

be in accordance to bidder's link budget calculation,

however, it should still be -60dBm or better at BER10E-

6. Better Transmit Power

and Receive Signal Threshold translates to better system

gain, and DICT will also evaluate proposed radio

systems in this regard.

guaranteed link capacity of at least 200Mbps (Full

Duplex) upgradeable to 2Gbps. The vendor shall

propose any suitable

configurations to meet the desired requirements

by the DICT, all subject to review and approval of

DICT.

What does upgradeable to 2Gbps entails? Is it via large

bandwidth/channel spacing like 112

MHz or via adding more RF Channels/carriers?

The requirement of the MW Radio to be able to support

upgraeability up to 2Gbps

can be a combination of increased modulation,

increased bandwidth and additional RF channels.

52

1.1.4. Reliability Methods:

ITU-R P.530-7/8 with

Fade Margin of at least 35dB (minimum).

35dB Fade Margin will entails the use

of larger antenna size to cater to the

short period of average path condition is there a limit to the size

of the antenna?

There is no limit to the size

of the antenna, however, if

other vendors can propose smaller size antennas it

means that their radio system is more superior in

terms of sytem gain and in

consideration of other losses.

53

1.1.5. Modulation: The

equipment shall support modulation schemes with

full range of hitless and

errorless Adaptive Coding Modulation (ACM). ATPC

whole band within the diplexer range? Is self-frequency scar can

refer to build-into the licensed band microwave transmission system? All

frequency pair spots have to apply to

NTC and need to scan first at site before the installation of microwave

transmission system and such RFI has to be performed at site.

ODUs to be used should be

sub-band free, provide such information in your proposal


Self-freqeuncy scanning can

also be defined as being able to check for the suitable

point frequency to be used using the installed ODUs and

having the opposite station

in mute mode for transmitting, then checking

at local station if interferences are observed.

56
