• Network Cabinet: The vendor is required to provide one 6U wall mount network cabinet for Slater Mill, in addition to a cabinet already present at the Wilkinson building.
• AXIS Cameras: Two AXIS panoramic cameras are required from the vendor, separate from the nine government-furnished cameras.
• Cisco Switch: The Cisco switch (C9300-24U-A) and associated transceivers are vendor-furnished items as listed in the SOW.
