In addition, APT is the developer and copyright holder for the APT-x compressional algorithm. The FBI employs the CODEC units to replace obsolete, discontinued analog voice modems in connection with the operation of the FBI's 12-Kilo-bit land mobile radio system. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability ro respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office by 10:00 am Monday, May 31, 2010, by email to the attention of Mrs. Margaret D.
