Public Address and Terminal Paging System

The Vendor is required to provide public address and terminal paging system headend, including servers, software, amplifiers, and any other hardware required to provide the airport with a turnkey, full featured, and fully functioning pa/terminal address system.
- System requirements:
• IP and Dante protocol system and components.
• Redundant headend with proposal for highly available or fail-over scenarios to maximize system uptime and function in 24x7x365+ airport environment.
• Spare parts ready to hot swap including (3) spare paging stations, (6) spare microphones, (2) spare channels/cards, failover DSPS, backup amplifiers at correct settings to facilitate redundancy and fast recovery. Minimum quantities listed, service provider may make recommendations.
• Centralized management, configuration backup and change tracking, monitoring, and alerting leveraging industry best practice snmpv3 or similar.
• Industrial grade, POE powered, Dante compatible, IP paging stations/consoles with intuitive zone selection, group paging, emergency announcement interrupt from designated locations, and replaceable/serviceable parts and microphones.
• Integrate with approximately 540 existing 70v/100v Atlasied ceiling speakers and surface mount speakers.
• Redundant power-supplies where possible on hardware, especially within racks in audio/network closets.
• Network configuration to facilitate gigabit Ethernet, mixed network traffic, quality of service (QOS), DSCP tagging, support for multicast, and any Dante or other network needs.
• Capability of system to integrate with SGF flight information display system (fids) terminal systems international (TSI) for visual paging
• System needs to support pre-recorded, scheduled, and live announcements with prioritized override and ample storage for announcements. Current “live” announcements are recorded and played back as a preference.
• System audio quality to meet or exceed “excellent” rated speech transmission index (STI), appropriate signal-to-noise ratio (snr) to exceed ambient/background noise by 10-15 DB, and a sound pressure level (SPL) minimum 85 db.
• System interface to be graphical user interface “web-based” (GUI).
• All access must be role-based access, audited, with multi-factor authentication.
• System and components must be manufacturer supported, able to receive security and feature updates, and not on end-of-life operating systems.
• System must not rely on public internet access.
• Must be able to run on-premises without impact to functionality, be patchable, secure, and isolated from other networks.
• Pre-recorded announcement interface is simple with non-proprietary file formats so that recorded announcements may be easily recorded, added/removed by airport staff with appropriate storage considerations for storing audio announcement files.
• Software to support multilingual announcements and music.
