Installation of LASERFAX Replacement System
Prototype
1. Your assistance is requested for the installation of
the Headquarters communications required for a demonstration of
the LASERFAX Replacement System (LxR) Prototype. The prototype
will demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the existing
LASERFAX imagery transmission system with work stations capable
of receiving, displaying, manipulating, and transmitting
imagery with enhanced speed and quality. The installation and
operation of the prototype is a highly visible, time critical
project funded by the DDI with OD&E serving as the executive
agent.
2. The Headquarters work station will be installed in
DI/OIR space in Room GH44. The installation of communications
for the LxR prototype within the Headquarters building should
be complete by 20 October 1986. The work station components
are listed in Attachment 1 and the power and cooling
requirements are listed in Attachment 2. An inspection of the
proposed location was conducted with ESG/OIT personnel on 18
August and the facility appears to have adequate power and
cooling. OD&E will provide a Ti microwave link, a KG-81, and
the required modems in addition to the communication items
listed in Attachment 1. The known support required from OIT is:
a. A location within a communications center for a
KG-81 and two modems.
b. A line from the microwave termination point to the
KG-81.
C.
25X1 GH-44.
ne from the KG-81 location to workstation in

2. The requirements assume single phase, 120 volt, 60
hertz power. The contractor suggests that two isolated, 20 amp
circuits with single 20 amp locking plugs be provided. The
equipment would then be plugged into power strips which would
be provided by the contractor.
