UPS equipment: (a) ranging device that operates in Non-LOS environments. Multispectral Solutions Inc. is the only company identified as manufacturer of UWB hardware. They are the only company currently offering a working version of such equipment that is geared toward indoor localization applications. A fixed price purchase order will be issued on or about July 30, 2004. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement, in writing, no later than the response date. No solicitation package will be issued.
