Description

The Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDPS), Homeland Security Division (HSD), is conducting market research to identify commercially available omnidirectional, long-range, high-gain antennas. These antennas should enhance remote operational capabilities along the Texas/Mexico border by integrating with existing cell-enabled, motion-activated camera systems. The goal is to ensure reliable, multi-carrier cellular connectivity in deep fringe and low-coverage areas without requiring manual directional alignment. This is a Request for Information (RFI) with zero dollar value, aimed at gathering current information on suitable antenna solutions.
