City of Fort Worth - BATS Network
Fort Worth, TX
10/23/2013
System Overview
CTS is providing this proposal to the City of Fort Worth for the materials and installation services for a
Broadband Antenna Tracking System (BATS) utilizing the Public Safety 4.9GHz Band. The system will
utilize (2) of the City's existing tower sites and one (1) mobile command communications trailer.
The tower site locations are:
• North Beach Tower
32°55'29.04' N, 97°17'3.90"W
• Rolling Hills Tower
32°39'44.36"N, 97°17'37.96"W
The system design includes the installation of (2) BATS DVM-50 units on the North Beach tower, (1)
BATS DVM-50 unit on the Rolling Hills Tower and (1) BATS BTS-50 unit on the mast of the mobile
communications trailer.
The BATS Antenna Aiming and Tracking system is the most modern antenna system that allows high
quality Broadband Ethernet connectivity in mobile environments. An automatic control system allows for
to the user to simply turn the power switch on to establish a high quality connection while on the move.
Advanced directional antenna technology has been adopted for this antenna enabling the reception of
optimal signal levels in a multitude of environments. A Wide Range Search algorithm allows the antenna
system to search for the highest quality Base Station in range within the shortest amount of time.
The proposed BATS solution uses VHF/UHF for zero -touch activation of the scanning sequence on the
remote BATS system. The BATS system is normally in a standby mode waiting for a scan command to
be issued. This eliminates any movement of the system until required. The BATS system has all of the
information to programmatically determine the best remote BATS systems) to activate.
The BATS Antenna Aiming and Tracking System is designed to work with the Cambium 4.9 GHz PTP600
Broadband Ethernet Radios. The system relies on tight integration with the radio to get immediate link
quality feedback to align and track the antenna. The Antenna Aiming and Tracking System consists of a
Domed Positioning Unit and the Controller Unit. All necessary connecting cables are provided with the
unit.
PTP 600 links have class -leading sensitivity and power output that enable links to go farther while
sustaining high throughput. With data rates up to 300 Mbps, this Series of high-performance and secure
wireless bridges makes cost-effective connectivity and backhaul a reality for public safety. The PTP 600
is proposed at the 4 9 GHz frequency band dedicated for Public Safety
Cambium Point -to -Point PTP 600 Series Solutions include robust radios designed to withstand the
toughest conditions. Because they are often perched on high towers, sometimes with antennas they are
located in situations that can attract lightning The Cambium PTP Lightning Protection Unit (PTP-LPU) is
a device that shields your PTP radios to minimize potential harmful effects of sudden surges in power
induced by electro-magnetic activity (lightning).

Existing electrical breaker panels in the communication trailer as well as both the North
Beach and Rolling Hills Tower sites can accommodate the proposed equipment
without the need for upgrades or modifications.
The proposed Nycoil cable conduit on the communications trailer mast will not be
required to accommodate additional cables beyond what is necessary for the BATS.
The DVM-50 BATS unit s mounting height will not exceed 250 ft at the North Beach
Tower site. The mounting height will be dependent many factors including but not
limited to, available tower space, interference, coverage and tower loading.
The DVM-50 BATS unit s mounting height will not exceed 480 ft. at the Rolling Hills
Tower sites The mounting height will be dependent many factors including, but not
limited to, available tower space interference coverage and tower loading
The communication trailer's mast height does not exceed 65'. The combined height
of the trailer and the trailer's mast is a minimum of 70' above ground level.

The Cambium PTP49600 radios are capable of non -line -of -sight connectivity; however
the integrity of the microwave link between the communications trailer and the North
Beach and Rolling Hills Tower sites is significantly dependent on RF line -of -site. Path
obstructions will significantly reduce the overall performance of the link and can
prevent a link from establishing.
All LINKPlanner proposal documentation for PTP connectivity assumes line -of -sight
and no interference in the Public Safety 4.9GHz band
Coverage and aggregate throughput for a microwave link in a mobile environment are
dependent on many factors including, but not limited to free space path loss path
obstructions, interference, signal quality, RF line -of -sight and meteorological

HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Professional Services Agreement with CTS Consolidated Telecom Services,
LLC, for the Installation of a Broadband Antenna Tracking System Using a Cooperative
Contract for the Information Technology Solutions Department in the Amount Up to
$335 853.82 and Approval to Use Grant Funds Awarded by the State of Texas Department
of Public Safety (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize a Professional Services Agreement with CTS
Consolidated Telecom Systems, LLC, for the installation of a Broadband Antenna Tracking System
using the Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative contract DIR-SDD-2058 for the
Information Technology Solutions Department in the amount up to $335,853 82 and approval to use
grant funds awarded by the State of Texas Department of Public Safety.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth's Information Technology Solutions Department maintains a mobile
communications center outfitted with radio system equipment used for on -site support of Police and
Fire operations during significant events For example, the center most recently was deployed to
Texas Motor Speedway during NASCAR and IndyCar races.
The installation of a Broadband Antenna Tracking System (BATS) will expand the mobile
communications center capabilities to include secure reliable high -bandwidth broadband access from
the event site to the City's enterprise network. Attaching to City's network will enable on -site
personnel to easily access City systems such as video as well as share data and information to
support personnel at any City site. This includes access to WebEOC, the City's incident management
system used to coordinate responses to significant events.
Staff has examined similar systems and recommends installation by CTS Consolidated Telecom
Services, LLC. Studies conducted indicate the system will operate from most areas inside the Fort
Worth city limits including key sites such as Texas Motor Speedway, Forest Park and Amon Carter
Stadium at Texas Christian University.
On November 11, 2012, the City Council approved Mayor and Council Communication C-25968
accepting UASI grant funds to pay for programs to maintain and enhance local capabilities to prepare
for, prevent respond to and recover from acts of terrorism and natural disasters. Upon approval from
DPS, these grant funds will be used to pay for services under this Agreement. In order to meet
deadlines for completion of the project, Staff recommends getting this agreement in place as soon as
possible.
