The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is issuing this RFI, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e). The Government is requesting information regarding the availability and capability of those companies who can provide equipment and services to meet the FBI's miniaturized devices requirement. This RFI includes a draft of the system requirements and evaluation criteria. The information received as a result of this request will serve as a market and technology survey to assist the FBI in its development strategy for the requirements identified in this notice.

As technology drives smaller devices producing higher quality audiovisual data, user expectations also increase. However, high quality audiovisual data places greater demands on networks, storage, and associated systems. The goal of this initiative is to identify miniaturized transcievers (devices or systems) to provide high quality audiovisual data transmission.

See attached RFI notice for additional details.
