Description
The rapid evolution of commercial mobile device technologies offers unprecedented opportunities to advance the operational effectiveness of the Air Force workforce. Using small, �smart� mobile communications and computing devices will enable faster access to a broader array of real-time information and computing power from any location. There are a variety of wireless devices currently employed at Air Force bases around the world. Many aircraft maintainers are equipped with wireless tablets to access technical orders used to repair weapon systems; Security Forces personnel around the Air Force have employed wireless devices at installation entrance gates to check identification card validity. Innovative Airmen are continuing to find new ways to leverage mobile devices to enhance mission effectiveness and improve quality of life. In order to maximize usage of mobile devices, cellular connectivity across all Air Force bases is a crucial enabling capability.� The Department of Defense and the Air Force recognize the development, deployment, and management of secure and reliable fifth-generation (5G) communications infrastructure.� To support the National Strategy to Secure 5G and fulfill the goals of the National Cyber Strategy, the Air Force will support the United States and the Department of Defense with their lines of effort in facilitating the rollout of 5G domestically and promoting responsible global development and deployment of secure and reliable 5G infrastructure. Cellular coverage on Air Force bases varies widely from location to location; some have partial coverage throughout the base while others have none. In order to address these gaps in coverage, the Air Force is streamlining the process to grant leases (each, a �Lease�) for commercial broadband deployment to improve comprehensive coverage and increased capacity across its enterprise. It is anticipated that this streamlined process will encourage greater partnership between the Air Force and commercial providers. The goal is to team with commercial industry for the installation of additional cellular infrastructure to deliver expanded coverage and increased capacity on Air Force bases. To ensure all bases receive enhanced cellular coverage and capacity, the Air Force is grouping bases into regions and evaluating commercial lease opportunities to identify the best solution for each region. This opportunity is focused on Phase II USAF Midwest, which includes 20 installations ranging from Arizona up to North Dakota. For the following bases (each, a �Site�), the approximate number of personnel associated with the base are included which may represent the surge, or maximum, number of personnel present at a given time.
