31. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF DDS
31.1 DDS represents that it has developed a multiple transmitter and
receiver site Network Controller which will be used in the Phoenix
system.
31.2 DDS represents that it has developed a Digital Signal Processing based
high speed modem which works at 4800 bits per second data speeds of
transmission on data quality radios like the Motorola Spectras.
These modems will be used in the new XXX 000 XXX.
31.3 DDS represents that the XXX 000 XXX and the associated Redundant Base
Controller are capable of at least 8000 inbound and outbound messages
per hour per radio channel, when the Customer supplied mobile radios
have an transmitter attack time of 35 milliseconds or less. For a fleet
of 135 vehicles, this allows for at least 1 message per vehicle every
two minutes, or 30 messages per hour per vehicle. Each message can be
inbound to the host with an outbound answer from the host, or an
outbound instruction from the host with its inbound acknowledgment.
For bigger fleets additional radio frequencies will be required.
31.4 DDS will implement the capability of supporting the Motorola MDC 4800
protocol on the XXX 000, 0 months after the delivery of complete
documentation by either the Customer or Motorola to DDS. Development
time frame for this protocol will be finalized upon delivery of the
documentation pertaining to the MDC 4800 protocol. The Customer may use
MDC 4800 compatible KST 260 or Motorola 7100 MDTs in other SuperShuttle
locations where the MDC 4800 network is currently available.
There will be a one time lump sum charge to the Customer for the
development of the MDC 4800 protocol on the XXX 000 which is currently
estimated at $80,000.
31.5 DDS will implement an interface for the NCP, such that the existing MDC
4800 networks can be utilized by the SuperShuttle franchises. However,
the functionality of Application Software may be limited to the
functionality and connectivity of the Motorola KDT 440 or the Motorola
7100 CP terminals. This includes limitations of connectivity with a
GPS receiver or magnetic swipe reader. Any changes required in the KDT
440 or 7100 CP will not be the responsibility of DDS.
There will be a one time lump sum charge to the Customer for the
development of the NCP interface, which currently estimated at $15,000.
DDS will implement this Interface, 2 months from receiving a Purchase
Order for this work.
