UPS SYSTEM
- In the event that the system is to operate as separate standalone units then
disconnection of the RPA system should be possible without any changes in
the existing architecture of the system.
- The IEM software package should be an integral part of the RPA system
which allows the RPA system to save energy during low load conditions. This is
achieved by requesting / programming the UPS or its Inverter to transfer its
load to the remaining UPS systems and go into a silent mode. This enables the
entire heat dissipation of this system to be nullified. This Silent system however
is On line electronically and will switch on as programmed in the event of a
problem with the utility or any other system. All this done without disruption to
the load.
Individual Inverters, which are not required to sustain the load can
automatically be switched off to save energy.
Depending on Load level, inverters are switched off Cyclically, so that
every UPS has the same amount of operating hours over a period of
time.
During an inverter switch off due to low load the remaining selected
inverters should sustain the load.
Customer to define if the rectifiers to remain ON for battery charging or
to be switched off for the UPS systems whose Inverters have been
selected to switch off.
Customer to define after how long or at what Battery level rectifier
should switch ON.

1.1 General
The contractor shall supply, install, test and commission a Internet Protocol Television
System for distribution of digital television channels coming from 3 satellites specified by
transport streaming through IP and packet switched network to all outlet points
indicated in the drawing. The primary system equipment and components shall be
installed by a specialist sub contractor and is to be approved by the Resident Engineer
in accordance with the specifications as listed in this document.
The IPTV system supplier / installer shall be a specialist and has such trained technicians
for engineering assistance, installation and maintenance of the equipment. All of the
equipment or components for the system installed shall be from the same manufacturer,
except for items not included in their manufacturing range. Items not included in the
range of manufacturer shall be proposed to and be separately approved by engineer.
The system shall be capable of providing television reception of all local, neighboring,
and international channels broadcasted and receivable in this area.
3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

designed to broadcast in multicast on IP network, the services (TV or Radio programs)
issued from digital satellite, terrestrial or cable reception, or from professional DVB
equipment.
The streamers shall be modular construction as to allow for easy upgrading and adding
of future channels and fully compatible with analog and digital transmission technology.
The streamers modules shall have two directionally coupled input ports that facilitate
simple connection of the incoming signal using the plug bridges. For power connection

MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM
The contractor shall supply, install, test, commission and maintain during warranty period
the complete mobile radio system as specified herein for the hotel and serviced
apartment buildings.
The system shall be of the latest state of art technology in digital mobile radio system
and shall be based on DECT( Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication)
technology or equivalent. Scope of work shall include the supply, installation, testing,
and commissioning of the whole system including but not limited to the following:
No. of base stations mentioned above are only indicative. Actual no. of base stations
shall be decided by the contractor based on a detailed site survey with all the required
advanced equipment. Contractor shall conduct the site survey and provide the
required no. of base stations at strategic locations to obtain complete coverage of the
area to consultant approval.
The contractor shall negotiate the necessary application for frequency allocation with
Ministry of Communication and shall be responsible to pay all the necessary charges to
Ministry of Communication.
The system should defines a Common Interface (CI) for equipment (between the Fixed
network part and the portable part)
The system supports both the Public Access Protocol (PAP), which has some proprietary
aspects and the Generic Access Protocol (GAP), which secures compatibility of the
system equipment of different suppliers for basic speech call. The latter allows the users
freedom of choice for the portable terminal equipment.
System should have micro-cellular system, which means that the system makes use of a
network of radios with a low transmitter power (250 MW). A cordless extension must be
registered by the system before it can be used to make or receive calls. This registration
process is called subscription. Subscription to the system requires a Personal Identification
Number (PIN) allocated by the Communications manager. Once subscribed the
extension can be temporarily removed, or blacklisted if required.
The cordless extension monitors the quality of the radio link during a call. If the
interference on a certain carrier (frequency) and timeslot causes problems, it should
switch to another frequency at that same base station. This is called intra-cell hand over.
This hand over procedure requires that the connection can be supported on 2 channels
simultaneously, for a while, to allow a "seamless hand over". So, first, the handset selects
Page 3 of 10
AL TADAWI HOSPITAL
PART B - SECTION 24
MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM
a new (interference free) channel and sets up a connection via that channel, while the
old channel is still in use. Secondly, the old channel is disconnected. The user will not
notice anything of the hand over. If the mobile user roams from one cell to another,
during the conversation, he will probably go out of range of the first radio and into the
range of the second. In that case, if the quality of the transmission requires it, the radio
link will switch over to the new radio. This is called inter-cell hand over, which will also be
seamless.
The system handset should continuously monitor its environment and autonomously
selects the best frequency, timeslot and base station. This selection and possible change
should be unnoticeable for the user, when moving through the system network and
during a call. This process is called Continuous Dynamic Channel Selection (CDCS) .Due
to this CDCS process cells may overlap and no frequency planning is required, as is the
case for many other types of cellular systems.
If a cordless telephone set is lost or stolen it should be possible for the communications
manager to blacklist the set. This means that can no longer be used within the DECT
area.
System should pirate in a frequency range of 1880 - 1890 MHz. There are ten carriers
defined and in each carrier 12 full duplex (12 up link + 12 down link) time slots. This allows
120 full duplex channels in the air. Frequencies and time slots are re-used in the covered
area and dynamically selected, so the maximum number of available channels always
high enough even in high traffic density areas. Due to the maximum number of duplex
time slots, the maximum number of simultaneous connections per RFP should be 6 or 12.
With a radio base station a radio environment (cell) is created in which the portable
telephone can operate. The radio base station should provide the air interface between
the fixed network and the portables.
The RFP is the radio base station or the Transceiver for the radio signals. The following
should be made available:
Indoor RFP that can handle a maximum of 6 simultaneous calls (6 channel RFP).
Indoor RFP that can handle a maximum of 12 simultaneous calls (12 channel
RFP).
If required Directional Antennas should be used to cover the required range.
The Portable Part of the system handset should be delivered with the iS Mobile system
comply with the GAP (Generic Access Profile), ETS 300 175 agreements.
