<br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Romulus can produce coverage maps at various scales using U.S. Geological Survey <br />topographic maps or virtually any city or parish maps currently used by the City of LaPorte. <br />Coverage maps displaying radio coverage are produced to allow design comparison of <br />various combinations of antenna sites. <br /> <br />Romulus accommodates a large number of sites with ease; our engineers frequently provide <br />composite coverage plots covering over 250 repeater site locations. <br /> <br />Terrain and land-use, land-cover information greatly enhances the engineer's ability to select <br />sites which meet the performance requirements for the system. Terrain profiles can be <br />accomplished at the touch' of a button, to help analyze problems that affect radio coverage. <br />Romulus represents the state of the art in radio systems engineering tools. In addition to <br />Romulus, RCC has developed a unique computer controlled signal strength measurement <br />system that has been designed for installation in standard passenger automobiles. The system <br />allows measurement of field radio signal levels at intervals varying from 14 to 1,000 or more <br />points per wavelength, depending on the radio frequency and vehicle speed. . <br /> <br />The system has a precision, laboratory-grade spectrum analyzer interfaced to a Global <br />Positioning System (GPS) receiver to provide highly accurate signal measurements and <br />location data. The GPS receiver is a satellite-aided navigation unit that continuously <br />monitors its position. <br /> <br />The spectrum analyzer measures incoming signals on a specific frequency and downloads <br />each sweep to a portable computer. When the computer records a signal measurement, it <br />prompts the GPS receiver for its current position and records both the signal level and <br />location information on disk. Stored signal level and location information are then retrieved, <br />plotted and analyzed. The field strength measurement system is completely automatic, <br />requiring human intervention only for initialization and termination oftest runs. This system <br />helps us verify that our clients really get the radio coverage promised in Vendor proposals. <br /> <br />A brochure containing additional information about Romulus has been included with our <br />proposal. <br /> <br />3.4 Absence of Conflict of Interest <br /> <br />RCC is not affiliated with any vendor or manufacturer of radio communication equipment. <br /> <br />3.5 Equal Emplovment Opportunity/Affirmative Action <br /> <br />RCC is an equal employment opportunity employer and does not discriminate against any <br />employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, <br />ancestry, marital status, or sex. <br /> <br />City of La Porte, TX <br /> <br />Proposal- 2/23/01 <br /> <br />Section 3, Page 5 <br />
